Gone most of the day

😊😕The faces are for the title.  Kind of happy and kind of sad.  I have tennis this morning from 9:00-10:30 and then will go golfing most of the afternoon.  I smile as it is good to get out, do things with friends  but I do NOT like to be away from Terry for that amount of time.  We have talked and she is OK with it but still it makes me a bit uneasy.  That darn golfing.  They have a dress code that really does not go all that well with me.  I like a cool nice looking T shirt BUT one must wear a collared shirt that is tucked into you pants and if not the bottom must be cut so that one can wear it outside of the pants.  In terms of bottom wear it is slacks or Bermuda shorts.  No "just shorts", no cargo shorts and no cut offs!  So as I looked through my extensive wear (!!) I could NOT find any Bermuda shorts so it was a quick trip to Walmart at 7:00 AM this morning!  O thought what the heck.  After going out to add to my wardrobe I still have to mortgage the house to pay the green fees!!!  Actually the cost of golf now is "summer" time fee which is considerably less than prime time in the winter BUT still a FAR cry from fees Dave and I paid in Fargo in the late 60s.  Well I admit that was a long time ago but still--fees are too high just to play a game for 4 hours.  I almost, not quite, want to go back to the farm and my one hole course--Oh that is right it is impossible as there is NO farm anymore!

TERRY

I will make sure Terry has everything she needs as I leave for golf around noon.  She had a good birthday yesterday as Nelda and Heidi came over to visit and she received cake and flowers from them, from daughter Kim and her hubby.  Below are the flowers that she received.

This arrangement of flowers was just very very very beautiful as I had never seen such perfect flowers.  Sometimes a person just lucks out.

Well that is about it for today.  I need to get dressed for tennis.  Today will be the first time I have played with these guys, who are the best to play with, in the last 6 weeks or so.  I have played twice in the last few days but not with these guys.  It does seem like my right foot is good now but I am glad that the golf courses all require carts so not much walking this afternoon.  

I am kind of in the writing mood today so I MAY write late today IF there is time.  As I sign off I will take the last sip of FP and then get dressed for tennis.
