Monday and a late time to blog

TERRY

Terry is doing the same. She now goes from the bedroom to the living room several times a day just to get a walk in with the walker.  That is good.  She has not been out of the house for several days now so the wheelchair stays parked in the corner.  Even tho it is one day at a time is seems that in ALL areas she is getting a tiny bit better each day.  Way to go Terry!

It is late in the day so I will not say a whole lot.  I did have a nice chat with sister Helen today as she called me.

Now that sisters Helen and Joan have gotten their books that I sent I will say the name of it.  The name of the book is DAKOTA ATTITUDE and the author interviewed someone from every town in ND.  Each story is a page long and it is a very interesting book to read.  Actually pretty funny what people lived like etc. as most of the people interviewed are in their 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond.  It does bring back a lot of memories as there are a lot of stories of small country schools and small town schools in general.  So for tonight here is some from the book again.

DAKOTA ATTITUDE

"I'm gonna keep working til I get old (he was 88).  I've been practicing welding for about 74 years, and I'm finally beginning to get the hang of it, Curtis jokes.  I've known a quite a few people in my lifetime that quit working as soon as they possible can, and then a lot of 'em didn't last very long.  Anyways, I get bored setting at home.  Nothing to do much, you know, but look at the wall and advertisements on TV.    Well, that's all they got on there.  But there isn't much on the radio anymore, either, really.  I don't care about listening to that advertising.  I don't need advertising.  If I want something I go to town and buy it.  I don't have to be told, you know."

I played tennis today and we did a round robin in which I lost both sets!😠. I did have my FP before tennis and that did not help at all!  Here it is 9:00 and time to shut down.
