Here we are on the first Saturday of June, 2021

 TERRY

We are the same as yesterday.  As I blog Terry is reading the Saturday paper and when she finishes that I am sure she will watch TV as she loves the Saturday morning shows about nature.  We are in for an uneventful weekend so I may just try to sit back and enjoy life!


A friend Karl is leaving for his up north home Monday so we got in one last round of golf yesterday.  It was a fun time as we hit #1 T at 12:45 and for the entire 18 holes we had nobody behind us and nobody ahead of us.  I did not total my final score but I am guessing it was in the 105 +/- range.  Not good but actually not all that bad either as I am becoming accustomed to my clubs and did hit many very nice shots.  Well to be honest there were some real dubbers as well but IF I decide to play more the game will come around to a better spot.  I did finish hole number 18 with a putt of about 10 feet which was my best.  Afterward we planned to stop for refreshments but the two places we had in mind were not open so we came back and spent some time at the outdoor bar at the club.  I am undecided IF I will play any this summer but if not I am not expecting my game to improve at all so…..

I did see a text this morning from a friend about playing tennis this morning but I just could not.  Tennis 5 days this week and then yesterday AM tennis and PM golf were enough for me for the week.

Once again I have in mind that I may sort through some of those papers on the dinning room table but having the idea and actually doing it often are two different things!  BUT I do believe I will get some of it taken care of this morning or afternoon.  

As I looked at the weather for Naples for the next week I see where it looks like rain many days and highs in the low 90s everyday.  Let's hope our AC does not break down!

DAKOTA ATTITUDE

"Pearl says, "When I was little, I said when I grew up I wanted to be rich and have $100 to buy candy.  Chocolate, of course.  I guess I thought being rich was a certain number, and I wanted $100 to buy candy.  No, I was never rich.  You know, but I was always a happy person.  I could always see the funny side of so much stuff". As Pearl related this she was 101 years old.

"An article in The American Legion, 1919-1994: The first 75 Years in North Dakota states Stan has played. taps for at least 500 funerals.  Eighteen years have passed since the book was published.  To my understanding now---I don't have it in writing but it's between 800-900."

Time to sign off and MAYBE get some work done.  I still have a few sips of FP left so will savor them and then work---maybe again!!!
