April 30th, 2021 and we say "Good-bye" to the month!

 TERRY

Once again as I write Terry is in bed reading the Naples paper and the WJS.  The sports section is so so terrible in the Naples Paper I thought I would count the games and then how may scores there were.  In the MLB, NHL and NBA there were 25 games yesterday and there was ONE score.  All the rest said, "late"!  My goodness those professional teams must really play all their games at midnight or something.  Anyway back to Terry.  She had several days where she had stomach problems and things just did not work right.  Well things DID start to work yesterday which kept me busy with three loads of clothes in the washer!!!  Enough I think.

Here we are on the last day of April.  I wonder if we will see any May baskets at our front door?  Well never in my life have I gotten one so I am not expecting one today!  AND with the coming of May we see less and less tennis players on the courts.  As I looked at the courts this morning on the computer several courts were empty.  In February and March that would never be.  Darn, double darn today.  I intended to play tennis this morning but Karl suggested we hit the ball yesterday afternoon just to see how my foot was!  Ten minutes into hitting I planted my right foot and turned only to go down with pain in my foot!  End of hitting and end of playing today.  It may mean end of playing for several weeks.  I am limping around today and it seems that may be the case for a long time!!!

I have NOTHING planned today.  I will try to stay put in one place as this darn foot is painful.

DAKOTA ATTITUDE

"Harold participated in the Senior Games and broke the world record in the 50 meter sprint (in the 90-95 age bracket).  He is not sure how long he will continue to compete.  "I'm running out of competition".


"Marie says, "I didn't comprehend what challenges I would face living on a farm---learning to cook, starting a family, or how to handle it all.  So guess what?  My best option was to call Mom, 1,200 miles away, collect.  Bless her, she never refused one phone call.  Marie found the calls  helpful when raising 13 children under one roof.  That was the only crop that ever came through jokes Marie."  WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME ANY OF US HAD TO MAKE A COLLECT PHONE CALL???  


"Reflecting on his mom, Raymond says, Growing up, my mother was a hard worker.  I mean she'd outwork any guy.  She pitched square bales on a skid behind the baler, they used to have a little plank that they would stand on and would stack these bales..One time she rode the bale skid in the morning and then left at noon.  When I came back home, I had another brother , and I didn't know she was even gonna have a baby".


"As mayor for some years, Paul says he isn't sure how old Lake Williams was, but supposed it to be about 100 years old.  Will there be a celebration?  "We were gonna have a parade go through town, but there was only three of us here, so it is kind of tough as two of them wanted to watch."

So here we are in mid morning and I have nothing to show for it except an empty coffee cup!  Time to say the last good bye to the FP and try to get something done even with this right foot that pains with every step.

I WILL END WITH A COUPLE OF PICTURE JUST TO PROVE TO MYSELF I HAVE DONE SOME WORK FROM TIME TO TIME
