OK here it is almost 5:30 PM and I think I am OK with LIFE!

 TERRY

Terry has been awake most of the day.  I left for tennis this morning at 8:30 and she was sleeping but I do think she woke up shortly after that.  I arrived home from tennis at about 10:00 and she was almost finished with the paper.

I am OK but really not so good today.  I am tired and there really is no reason for it.  Maybe I will try to get to sleep early tonight!

We have had a rainy day most of the day.  Here it is about 5:30 and it seems like it should be 8:00.  I emptied the rain gauge about an hour ago and we had 1.6" up to the point.  There has been a little after that but not much.  

I really had NO idea what to make for Terry today so I went to the store.  I came back with frozen fish fillet for a sandwich, lemon chicken nuggets and chicken pot pie, frozen.  Terry, much to my surprise, chose the fish sandwich.  Actually it was quite good.  So now there is something for tomorrow also.  I do have a problem with meals.  When we get the meals in the mail there are three for the week.  They actually are very good but the cost is about $70 for the three days.  I can make meals much cheaper than that but then we always have leftovers and it is hard to eat all of it before one needs to throw.  I can NOT stand to throw food but it happens sometimes.  Terry does not like things to be in the fridge more than three days before they are outdated.  Anyway I guess one should not complain about having too much food as there are so so so many people in the world that have almost nothing.

Carol called, the gal who organized the reunion, yesterday day and we talked for some time.  I pretty much knew how things had gone but she filled me in on some details.  I will get the $75 in the mail as my 5 books all sold!!  Wow, I do not know what to do with all the money???  Actually I ordered 10 more today as I only have 1 left and it seems from time to time there is someone who would like one.

I am thinking that I, for the most part, am able to keep a pretty positive outlook on life but today is one of those down days.  I feel tired, worn out and just kind of down in the dumps.  In the past I would call brother Dave and not complain but just talk about old times or anything and when we had finished talking I felt a lot better.  Well NO Dave so that is out!  

It was good to get on the tennis court today.  AND my partner and I won 6-4 so that made it even better!  We played 3 more games and we were at 2-1 when I just thought I needed to get home to see Terry as she had been sleeping when I left.  We will play again Thursday but really I need to get in at least 3 or 4 matches a week.  Maybe that will happen in a couple weeks as more people come down.

I have fun watching the stock market every day.  Yesterday was a downer for sure as I think it went down 600+ points.  I see where it did come back a bit today.  So maybe the small amount I have invested is not ALL lost!

As the days go by I am starting to look forward to family coming down.  YES, it will be at the end of December BUT time flies and it will be here kind of soon.  I am trying to think of ways to keep those 14 grandchildren busy for a few days.  There are a lot of things to do here but many of them are costly as one can guess.  It would be fun to take some of them on a day fishing trip but the problem is WHO.  One can not take 21 people on a fishing trip so maybe that is out.  

No I will post a couple of pictures and sign out for the day.

Well Dave and I shared a lot of things but not like that!!!!

I did have FP this morning and finished it after tennis.  It was great!
