April 16th of 2021 and we head down towards the end of the month

 TERRY

That darn Terry, I can not keep track of her anymore!!!  I woke up about 6:30 and the bed was empty!  She had gotten up about an hour earlier and walked into the living room to watch TV so as not to wake me.  I am wondering IF it may be time for us to have her try walking unaided somehow.  I know she can not just start out as there has to be something to hang on to IF she needs it.  Have not figured it out yet but need to do that in the future.  She says her legs seem strong BUT she is unsure of her balance so will see what happens as time goes on.  As I blog she has the Naples paper and the WSJ to keep her busy for a while.

Well today is day 1 of living without tennis for some time.  I am icing my arch twice a day and wrapping it during the day.  Also am taking IB pills three times a day.  It will be interesting to see how long it takes to heal.  I am betting the week after most of the tennis players leave it will be fine!!!

Sonia just arrived and I am going to make a short trip to Costco while she is here.  Other than that I will continue to clean up messes of paper etc.  I am thinking that by the end of the day all my papers will be cleared up and if needed they will be filed.  

So all I have today is some pictures and the some North Dakota again!

The year after putting 2 pickup loads of mature on the garden it grew things like crazy!  This was in Devils Lake.

When we moved into our home on Niles Ave in St. Paul ALL the floors in the house had 

indoor/outdoor carpet.  The kitchen had orange!!!  Looks like Aaron is about to make a move!

FROM DAKOTA ATTITUDE

"What makes Edward happy?  You make your own happiness.  Some people say, "Oh, I would be happy if I had a million dollars."  That is not happiness.  Happiness to me is knowing we are going to have corn on the cob tonight for supper along with fresh tomatoes"

"Edward and Doris Bodnar were married in 1949 and farmed near Dresden.  "Milking cows never made you a dime, but you sure saved a lot because you had to be home milking cows. "Edward asserts.  "You didn't have time to go out and spend money!"
