Here we are the second Monday of May 2021

 TERRY

Terry remains the same.  She is finished with the paper and is watching TV.  Nothing planned for the day or for that matter for the week as well.  

I really have not much to say today.  Not even sure I feel like going back in time and writing about that.  Our in home gal, Sonia, will be here today.  She took Friday off so Terry and I have been solo for the last 3 days which is fine.  Terry is into this peas in white sauce on top of a cheese covered piece of toast.  That means meals have been very easy.  I actually printed out some recipes that I thought about making but when asking Terry what she wanted she goes back to the pea sauce.  I am guessing that will get old in a short time and then it will be back to some other food.

Special days of the year are always a "what about today" kind of adventure and yesterday was no exception.  As I sat with my FP infused Baileys(it was Sunday so it was OK)  I thought back to days on the farm, days in Devils Lake, Days in St. Paul and of course days as of life today.  It was funny but I came up with good AND bad in all of the memories!!!  Something tells me that is normal life!  So the day went by pretty quickly.  In the evening Terry and I watched American Idol as there is a little cutie from Estero, just north of us, and she did make it to the final 5.  She not only is a very talented singer but a cutie as well.  That was a nice way to conclude our Sunday.  I think next week there will be two more eliminated and then maybe in two weeks there will be the final.  

I found this on line and felt that pretty much summed up what yesterday was all about!

I am waiting kind of patiently for this darn foot to heal.  It seems like it is OK and then I step a certain way and it hurts.  When I tried to play tennis several days ago that was also true.  When I turned on the foot it hurt.  It needs to get better SOON.  I know nothing is broken as it has been X rayed.  

DAKOTA ATTITUDE

"HELEN AND HER FRIENDS ALSO PLAY CARDS SEVERAL EVENINGS EACH WEEK.  WE TELL STORIES, JOKE, AND LAUGH.  SOMETIMES WE FORGET WHOSE TURN IT IS TO PLAY, SHE SAYS.  WE WIN, AND WE LOSE, AND BY THE TIME THE EVENING IS OVER WE DO NOT KNOW WHO WON OR LOST!  BUT WHO CARES?  WE ARE AROUND FRIENDS!  HELEN SAYS THESE RELATIONSHIPS ARE THE FOUNDATION FOR HER SPIRIT, AND WE ALL CAN BUILD THEM IF WE, MAKE THE BEST OF THINGS AS THEY COME ALONG.  IT DOESN'T PAY TO BROOD ON SOMETHING YOU CANNOT CHANGE."

Well the last few sips of FP are only warm, not hot, so it is time to close the blog and maybe heat the last of the FP in the Microwave to finish it off.  One last thing.  I now have the dining room table covered with papers again.  I am in the process of redoing filing and getting everything in order so will work on that today.  Not as fun as tennis or golf but necessary.
