Saturday May 22nd and for us the summer begins!

 TERRY

It is 9:30 and Terry is finished with the paper and watching TV.  She loves the Saturday morning shows that are on.  Her health is about the same so no news on that front.  

The summer begins for us---meaning our neighbors to the south AND to the north are gone for the summer so it is quiet for sure!  I am thinking that the majority of people who go north have gone by now.  Usually we would have gone as well so I am not sure but as I look up and down the street many houses are empty.  So Terry and I are looking at a summer in Florida which we have not experienced in the past.  We will see how things work out.

I did bike over to the courts this morning and played tennis for about 40 minutes with really NO issues with my right foot.  So I am thinking that I may be good to go by mid week.  Today, I played as if I had not played for several weeks which was true of course!

Not much else today so will write one or two DAKOTA ATTITUDE  and will be done for the day.

"Violet was born in 1932 in South Dakota on the Indian reservation.  She says, "My dad was at that time taking care of a bunch of horses.  I'm the second youngest of 19 children.  Gilbert said he got the prettiest one of the bunch.  I was about five years old, I think, when we moved to North Dakota.

"Hilda Lindermann Backfisch's father, John, was 21 when he emigrated from Odessa, Russia, and began working to buy the land north of Golden Valley that Hilda grew up on.  When he was 30, John decided was  time to marry.  Hilda says, My mother was a mail-order ride from Germany, and she was 21 when she came."

Here it is afternoon and I just got back to the blog to finish it.  The FP is long long gone and I need to get some work finished.
