TERRY
Terry had her scan yesterday and it took all of 10 minutes or so! Now it will be to wait and see what the results are and I do not know how long that will take. Her daughter Kim was over for some time in the afternoon and today she will fly back to Atlanta so we may not see her for a few weeks. With a husband who flies for Delta Kim can fly free which is a very nice perk for her. As I write this morning Terry has not read the paper yet as she turned on the TV and is glued to a movie for the time.
I am concerned that I may never learn. I drove to Walmart yesterday afternoon and when I arrived home "no phone". I drove back to the store and asked around and still "no phone". I even walked through the parking lot to glance into the empty carts but no luck. I went home and again used Terry's phone to call mine and of course there was NO ring whatsoever. Just on a whim I called my phone a second time and presto I got an answer! A woman about 3 miles from us saw the phone in the cart and rather than bring it into the store where she thought it may disappear forever she just took it home on the hope that she would get a call on it. I drove over to get it and she and her daughter would not take anything for returning it. So the question is have I learned my lesson? I THINK I have. I will never shop again with pants that have no pockets so then I can put my phone in my pocket instead of the cart! I suppose I could also put a note on the dash of the car that reads, "phone?" Somehow that makes me feel like I am getting old and of course I do know that I am not!!! So pants with pockets it is from now on.
DAKOTA ATTITUDE
"I went to school in the morning. I had an excuse to go to Grand Forks shopping. I bought a hat, because I thought you should have a hat on when you got married. And then we went to Crookston. We got a license and got married that same afternoon. I was 17 and lied about my age. ………. We didn't tell anybody. nobody knew til after graduation. The superintendent called his daughter and me in the office and "wondered if it would be alright if we could be co-salutatorians. Yep, he didn't know I was married then. I don't think you'd be allowed to be married and be in school."
"When Richard and Mary Carlson opened the Carlson hardware Store in Gilby in 1995, little did they know that they were opening the "loafer Line"---a row of chairs the couple provides for anyone who stops in. ……………. Some of the retired people in the area have time to visit, or there's people that are busy but they're caught up or it's raining or snowing or whatever. And they will sit and chit-chat. And some people come in and they just get a load of yuck off their chest and then it's gone, it's over, you know, and if nobody else heard it but that person and me, it's over. It doesn't go anywhere. You can't repeat stories and live long in a small town"
I think that is about all for the day. Sonia should be here soon as she usually does a two hour shift Monday-Friday. That makes life a bit easier for me. My FP is waiting as I have a cup to enjoy before I get so somethings that need doing.
