April 25, 2021--last Sunday of the month

 TERRY

No news about Terry today.  She does have a cat scan tomorrow so maybe in the coming week we will find out if there is any news.  As I blog Terry is deep into the Sunday paper.  

Kim came over for a short time yesterday and we will see her again today sometime.  She may stay in town until Tuesday, I am not sure.  She did say she would see us Sunday and Monday as well.  She is doing some workouts with some of her people AND having time with a friend Julie who used to live in GA but now is in Florida.  I am hoping she finds out what is wrong with the car she is driving as yesterday the right front wheel smelled like burned rubber.  I looked at it but could not see what what going on.

I made a HUGE purchase Friday.  I stopped into a thrift store and purchased a golf bag, a putter and a fairway wood/hybrid. (I am not sure of the difference in a fairway wood or hybrid club)  It cost me all of $10.18!!!  

So it is OUT with the red and gray vinyl bag!  It sounded like crepe paper when I walked


AND in with the fancy $5 bag!  The driver outside of the bag is in for a Lee repair!  The grip was making my hands black so when I receive a new grip from Amazon Tuesday it will be repaired.  On top of a new bag and some clubs when I was emptying out the red bag I found a dozen new balls that Joe H had given me years ago so I am thinking I may be good until at least the 5th water hazard!  Now I need to play golf a little more.  Twice in 8 or so years isn't the way to improve your game!

In taking these pictures I had forgotten any picture taking skills I ever had.  At first I stood inside the garage and took the picture out towards the street.  When I looked at the picture all I saw was a bright outside and a black bag!!!  Come on Carmen, you are not that old!  MAYBE!!!

I have mentioned in the past that Travis is doing the garden this year.  He said he will also take care of the raspberries and the rhubarb as well.  A friend, Leann, is helping him but then I am not sure who is helping who!  Well actually I am sure as I promise you Travis is NOT the lead on the garden.


This was perhaps June of last year


It looks like they pretty much have the bed ready for planting.  Of course it is way too early to plant as the temp this morning in St. Paul is 34 with a high of 45!  It does look to get into the upper 60s/low 70s in the coming week but still way to early to plant.  I always liked to get things in the ground by the third week in May so it will be interesting to see how things grow.  
At this point I am so so glad that there are NO storm windows/screens to put on the house.  Instead of taking a window off and putting another on now all one needs to do is OPEN the window up and presto you have fresh air.  I am so thankful that the days of climbing a ladder to the second story with a screen or storm-window in hand only exist in my mind.  In addition to that NO storing 20+ storms in the attic or in the garage where they just might break somehow or what about the glazing getting old and falling out!  Yikes, enough of the "good old days"!
Well inspire of actually having many good things done to the house there is still the old fashion AC units that go in and come out as the season changes.  I have not spoken to Travis to find out IF he will put a AC unit in the living room.  It is fairly easy to do but now if only I had a in wall AC unit like A/A have in Madison!  
DAKOTA ATTITUDE
"I was raised on the farm out there.  Orville Moe recounts, until I left here in 1936.  When I graduated from Beach High School then I left on a freight train.  I caught the first freight train out of here as I wasn't going to stay here."

"Rick now owns and operates a gas station in Sentinel Butte.  You could also say a community center.  We have a potluck every single Friday.  I usually provide the meat and I grill and people just come on in, some will bring a hot dish, a salad, you name it.  You never know on any Friday what you are going to have here.  People just show up, and we have a good time."

So here it is 9:15 and perhaps time to sign off.  I do have one more thought to write about.  Last June John, Judi, Joan, Helen and I drove to Kulm from Jamestown as it was the day of Dave's funeral.  I had never visited Janet's grave site so for me that was special.  We drove around Kulm and John shared some things from the time he and Janet lived there.  At one time Ronald, Glorine and John taught at the school.  Well according to John there was a neighborhood cat that was making life miserable for Janet and John as they lived in a basement apartment and there was a window well that had become kind of like home to the cat!  Somehow the cat disappeared and that made John and Janet happy!  When the neighbor asked if anyone had seen the cat nobody knew what had happened!!! Not sure WHO was the culprit but when one thinks about Ronald or John, my mind says just flip a coin!   I think that story would fit right into the book I am reading!  For sure life in America would be so different if there had never been an Mouws or Lees!!!
Time to sign off for the day.  I do have a few sips of FP left but will warm it up after I sign off.
