TERRY
I think Terry is kind of on the mend. Starting about 3:30 this morning I tossed and turned but did sleep some. When I finally woke up I thought I heard something. Then I looked over at Terry's bed and it was empty! She had gotten up and walked to the living room. She turned the TV on low so as not to wake me up. So I guess she is getting kind of back to the Terry we all know. Just to be sure she can NOT walk without the walker and is far from healthy again but each day she does something like that she is a tiny bit closer to BETTER. As I write she is in bed again with the TV on and the Naples paper and WSJ to read.
I had tennis at 9:00 yesterday. About 15 minutes into the match I turned to hit a ball and almost fell down from pain in my right foot. END OF TENNIS FOR THE DAY. In the afternoon I did go into Urgent Care to see if they could tell me what was wrong. They took X rays and it looks like I have Plantar fasciitis in my right foot. it actually is the wrong foot but on my right side. So the future looks like NO tennis for 2-4 weeks with IB, ice and rest to get it well. So what am I to do with my time now? I have a couple of ideas but will let them rest for now. Of course I am disappointed but for some reason not down like I thought I would be. The difficult part is by the time I can play again most of the people will be gone! I guess I could be DOWN and so so disappointed BUT then of course there are many many many things that could be a lot worse than not playing tennis for 4 weeks. Carmen, life goes on so live it to the fullest each day!!!
I actually did get something done yesterday. I had paid for FEMA flood insurance not knowing that our new policy that covers all 42 villas includes flood insurance. Of course one needs flood insurance just because we are about 3 miles from the gulf and in case a hurricane comes we could get flooded. Well after two phone calls I was able to print out some forms and then drive to our State Farm office and we will get our refund in a few days. I did not ask if the policy would have been in effect already would we have gotten a refund? It was set to go into effect April 24th. I was a bit nervous in working on it as the cost was $1000+. It was nice to get that out of the way.
I also eased my mind about our tax returns. I had sent them in to company headquarters in mid March and had heard nothing. I realize we have until May 17th this year but still. I called Melissia, the gal I talk with, and she did confirm they have them, they are working on them and will let me know if they need more info. So that is kind of done as well. I think we should get some kind of refund back. Last year we had to pay big time because of the sale of Terry's home in MN but 2020 should be normal again so some kind of refund should be coming. Again, nice to find out that they are being worked on.
I am not sure what I will do today but it does seem that there are ALWAYS papers to file and take care of AND they just seem to never go away! Maybe it is because I don't work on them!!!
FROM DAKOTA ATTITUDES
"Warren Zakopyko is the fourth generation on a farm north of Kief. This is where I was born in 1940. And this is where I'm gonna die. They operate Elaine's Garden and Guesthouse on their farmstead and have a fully restored schoolhouse there too."

"Born in 1927, Esther grew up in a blended family of 13 in the Calvin area. She remembers the hard times of the 1930s. Her stepdad worked in a repair shop. One night the storeowner gambled his business away. So her stepdad started his own shop. Everybody worked. I had two brothers, nine and ten. The greasier my brothers would get, the better they liked it. So my stepdad set each one in a corner of the garage and gave them each a motor, told'em to tear it apart, clean it, and put it back together. So they did, and it worked fine. That was their start."

Not sure how Cynthia came out of this one!
