Another "ouch"

 TERRY

Terry is the same.  She is getting around the house by herself, with the aid of the walker, and feeling about the same.  She has that Dr. appt tomorrow so maybe we will find out somethings but I am Not counting on it.  So "one day at a time" is still the THING.

I am one sorry mess today.  No complaints, just facts!  My foot is somewhat better but not good.  My back is somewhat better but not good.  BUT now on day two after the second covid shot one feels the effects of it.  I have a left leg that is very sore and a back ache that feels not so good.  I should be fine tomorrow in terms of the shot effects.  So for today I may lie low and pretend that I am 95 as that is how I feel!!!

I should try to get some answers about our pool.  It has not been on for some time as there is a crack in one part of the sides.  Not a crack in the wall but rather a crack in the finish on the insides.  I have called three places and ONE has gotten back to me so I guess I need to do some time on the phone.  I miss being able to swim a couple times a day.

With no tennis and not much going out and about what to write about is limited so I will write a couple things about what is now my favorite book.

DAKOTA ATTITUDE

"Thora and her sister, ages 12 and 14, were the cooks in a cook car that followed the threshing crewe at harvest time.  They fed 15 men five meals a day.  "We were very young.  We slept there, Thora explains, We would get up about four or five in the morning in order to serve breakfast at six.  A midmorning break was called forenoon lunch. Dinner was at noon, flowed by afternoon lunch and then supper.  When the crew would come in for supper, it was usually dark or about dark.  then you had to wash up the dishes."

"Skeeter" is a nickname given due to a mosquito bite that festered on Joseph Osvold's head when he was a baby.  He was one of 11 children.  Growing up, he says, "All my family lived in a one-bedroom house.  There was a bedroom, living room, dining room and a kitchen. Lots of foldout couches."

OK so here are at 9:30.  Terry needed some company so I spent the last 30 minutes with her and now am ready to sign off.  Sonia arrived so soon she will be cooking a meal.  I still have a cup of FP so life is good!
