 TERRY

It is a good thing as there is nothing new about Terry.  As I write she is reading the paper and doing well today.  

Here is the confirmation picture of my brother Ronald and on the lower front left is cousin Marvin.  I remember the paster, Rev mailing (sp) well as he was the paster during my years growing up.  Ronald was born in 1936 so I am guessing this is in 1950 or so.

I suspect this may have been Sunday school class BUT Chuckie and Gay are not in the picture so not sure if that is correct.  It does look like it was in the basement of Bergen Church.

This is about the time Bergen closed and maybe it is in Veblen, not sure.  It is fun to see these old pictures and a huge THANK YOU to Patsy T for sending them.

Well onto yesterday which was a fun day and I do admit those kind of days have been few and far between over the last weeks.  First I went out to the pool which I had power washed the day before.  I was thinking I needed one more pass around the pool but it looked great.  

This is what I saw yesterday and it looked great.  I had to go for a swim.  But the best was yet to come.  I got the mail about 12:30 and there was an envelope from LuLu, the company that published my book.  For some strange reason MANY books had sold and there was a check for $66!!!!  Way to go Carmen.  Actually my part of the sale was $86 but they do take out for taxes.  That was a pleasant surprise.  I mean I have gotten checks in the past but usually they are for $20 + or - but yesterday was FUN.  

So yesterday was a GOOD day and I am looking forward to more in the future.  I just came home from Costco as Sonia was here so I like to do those runs when she is here.  I had this long list of things to look at and ended up buying maybe a quarter of the items.  Also filled with gas at $2.79 as gas has gone up.

End of the story for today.  Of course at 11:10 the FP is history almost to the point of me not remembering it!    Well one story from DAKOTA ATTITUDE

"Charles, known as Philip, was born in 1924 and grew up in Washburn.  He graduated from high school and entered the Navy in the same month, May 1943.  Not to brag, but they thought I was pretty good material, and they sent me to the University of Minnesota for basic education and training.  Well, here's this kid from a little high school in North Dakota going to the University of Minnesota, pre-engineering class.  I flunked!"
