TERRY
I got out of bed at 5:30 and it was not all that long after that Terry woke up. She now has the paper all read and is watching TV. She needs to get some blood work done and soon. She said she is not up to it this morning so will ask if she is up for it early PM. Hopefully she will be. She did have a coughing spell this morning so the concern goes on and on. We need to get that figured out but not sure how at this point.
I do not have plans for the day. Well there will be more paper work done but other than that not much. So will put Joan on the blog for the day and that may be it.
I think that picture of Joan as a little girl is about as cute as it can be. Joan is a gal on the go as she and Ron lived in Fargo much of their life and then moved to Salt Lake City to support son Bryan. She is retired from working on a job but oh my goodness she seems to keep busy busy with community, family etc. Well IF any of us had great grandchildren in the form of quads well we may be almost as busy. Joan is now the eldest of the Lee family which had 8. I might add that if I were in an argument or conflict I certainly would want Joan on my side! I say that with affection.
No here it is almost 9:30 and time to sit at the dining room table and get some more of those papers sorted and filed. Also there are a few items in the kitchen that need to be taken care of. Actually I have this problem in the kitchen. Terry does not eat all that much so anything I make comes out in too big quantities and then sometimes food goes to waste. Well I do admit some of the things I make do not come out so good and then that is waste as well. I have come to the point of thinking I needn't go to the grocery story for a month and see if that helps. Something to ponder for sure. I actually could do that as I have enough coffee beans for FP into late fall I think!!!
Enough for now and I am sipping the last cup of FP as I had to heat it up.
I have way too much time to think these days. Often my mind goes back to the farm, to grade school, to high school and all that went on in relationships during those days. I think about the bullying in grade school that had to stop. I was big and strong for me age so it only took me couple of wrestling matches to put an end to that. I mean, really, jumping a boy as he was getting on the bus to go home! (I was the one who was jumped). I think about actually starting to date as a freshman and no details but I would strongly advise against that to young people. Well there was nothing wrong that went on in that but still not a good thing. I have thoughts about the two guys who did not good things to the teacher in 5/6 grade. What did I do? Nothing but I went along when they had to make apologies. I am sure my being there made me seem guilty and I was not. Just so that I could be one of the guys. Now how stupid is that? Well I do not wan you to answer that!!! I often think of HS days and what could/should have been done differently. Well as I think about it I was as green behind the ears as anybody could be and really came out of it without damage to speak of so I guess I should be thankful. One thing that has stuck with me all these years was what surrounded Ronalds death. As much as I was hurting there was NO support in school and of course one could not have expected Mom or Dad to have talked about to me as they were hurting as well. The same was true when Janet died but for some reason the fact that I was still in high school when Ronald died sometimes has be reflecting on the kind of support kids in HS today. It may have been how things were done way back in the 60s but I do not remember ONE time being asked where I was going, what time I would be home or who I would be with! I guess I am thankful that I actually had blinders on so to speak as some one coming from a rural farm 25 miles from school is pretty pretty clueless. I say pretty clueless but I was a growing boy so!
Time to sign off FOR SURE!!!
