TERRY
As I blog Terry is reading the paper. She mentioned yesterday, when I remarked how short of a time it took to read the paper, that she now usually looks at the pictures. I am going to try my best to get her the x ray this afternoon. We will see.
I actually have tennis at 8:30 this morning. Now it is pretty standard to only play twice a week so that is not so good for the game as IF I have any tennis skills it is difficult to maintain them at that level of play.
I have not kept track of the hours that I have put in to my 2022 calendar but a good guess would be some where between 25-30 hours. I would say it is finished but will go though the entire thing this afternoon and then order tomorrow as the 40% off ends Wednesday. We see stories of inflation well I am 100% certain that Shutterfly has raised their prices BIG time. Anyway as I go through it today I am certain I will find some mistakes and also find places where I could improve. This may be the fifth year or so that I have made one and in my opinion this will be the best. I counted 130 pictures that I used. Many of the pictures are complimentary from Dad's photograph talents.
I sent a card out about 10 days ago. The name of the street was "Louisiana" and I ended it with an "e" instead of an "a" and it came back! I could not figure that out as that gets pretty close to nitpicking I felt.
I have cancelled the meals we get the last two weeks. Which means I have been experimenting with some food. I think I had a home run two days age.
I purchased a corn bread mix and made it in the cast iron skillet and Terry said it was delicious. Mom used to make it and I am sure she did NOT have a mix but she would make it in a cake pan and we would have Karo syrup on it. Terry and I do not have Karo syrup so Terry was happy with just butter on it and I used maple syrup which was good. I actually said to myself, "Good job Carmen!"
No it is gettin near 8:00 and I need to get ready for 8:30 tennis. Our court times are 7:30, 9:00 and 10:30 but now in the summer there are so few people playing a person can pretty much play at any time so we go at 8:30.
A couple of pictures for the day.
I like this picture of Dave
Here is sister Helen and I like this because she is on the tractor and Dave and I would tease her a lot about not doing her part of farm work but really I think after I left home she had three more years of high school and I think she was Dad's right hand worker! She will be thankful to me for the proof!!! I see another International tractor in the background and I have no idea where or why Dad had that. When Dave and I were still on the farm we had the International M that Helen is sitting on and the Ford tractor and that was it. Oh my when I think back on our farm and Dad's approach to farming it was antique at best! But it did provide us with what we needed. Well I thought I could have used more money when I was in high school and would go on dates!
Time to sign off as the FP is low in the cup and I need to be sure I have a shirt for tennis. On to another day in Naples FL were the temp will most likely be 93 or so and the humidity will be more than one really wants.
I just looked and yes, this will be year #5
