Here we are on the last HUMP day of February 2021

 TERRY

Terry had water therapy yesterday and did very well.  She did 45 minutes of gym therapy and 45 minutes of water therapy.  She said she used the parallel bars and took a few steps without holding onto the bars!!!  She will probably do that again tomorrow.  As I write she is reading the paper in bed.

I have 10:30 tennis today.  After that John and I will head to the Turtle Club, which is on the beach, for lunch.  Today is John's last day here as he heads home EARLY tomorrow.

Now I am going to say some things that sound like bragging and in fact they are.  I know that everyone who has grandchildren know their's are the most talented and the best!!!  AND of course I think that about mine as well.  From South St. Paul where there are 8 Adkins to Madison where there are 2 Lees and then south a bit to South Bend where there are 4 Lees I am amazed at the talent I see in each of them.  I am going to post a picture done by Henry, the oldest, who is 17.  As a junior at Trinity at Greenlawn in South Bend this picture is a school project.  He did it in water color and I think it is pretty amazing.


I would say that takes a bit more than schooling to get something that beautiful.  I think John said he spent something like 30 hours on it.  I think IF Grandpa spent 300 hours on something like that it still would look like chicken scratching but in my mind it is pretty amazing.  As Terry spent time at WT yesterday John and I went to a photo place and John ordered a copy for Grandpa as a birthday present.  WOW, I guess having birthdays at my age is OK after all!😎

Being Henry is in my blog today here is a short story about him
Henry was about 4 or so and came over to visit Grandma and Grandpa.  We started a fire in the fire chimney in the back yard.  Henry was fascinated by it but Grandma told him it was hot so he should stay away from it.  You guessed it," curiosity killed the cat" and it also put a HUGE blister on Henry's finger as he wanted to be sure Grandma was right when she said it was hot.  Poor Henry needed a lot of love from Grandma as his finger hatched this huge blister!  The tears did not last too long but the blister stayed for a few days!
Enough for this morning.  I have my FP and John has his so it is time to wrap this up.
