 TERRY

I would say Terry is the same.  Again, as I blog she is in bed reading the paper and is in good spirits.  So that is it for the day.

Here is the progress on the pool.

From this on Monday morning

To this on Tuesday about 11:00 AM

To this at about 4:00 PM

And this morning at 8:00 we have this.  I am guessing it will take another 3 hours or so to fill.  Then when the pool service comes on Monday it will be turned on and salt will be added.  It should be ready for use by next Tuesday.

I may bike over to the courts this morning.  I have not been over there for maybe a couple weeks or so.  I keep thinking that I should be able to play soon but then I might just step a bit sideways on my right foot and I can feel it is not healed yet.  Maybe in a week???

I did get a good start on redoing all our papers yesterday.  It is about time that I make some changes so that things are somewhat more organized.  

DAKOTA ATTITUDE

"Ida Harmon recalls how her family once lived in a shack.  We were squatting.  The girls had a bed and the boys had a bed and Mom and Dad had a bed.  When we were small, all five girls slept side  by side crossways in the bed.  There was a little squabbling, like get on your side, but most generally if one turned over, the next one turned over and everyone would have to turn over at one time.  Then when Ida was 12, the family moved to Charbonneau where her father built a house."

That is all for today.  I am going to bike over to the courts for a short time and then get back here to work on papers.  I have my timer on for the pool so I do not forget about it.  Should be full about 11:00.  I actually have half a pot of FP left so will reheat that when I get back and enjoy it while I do paper work.
