Here are starting the last Monday of October

 TERRY

As I write it is 10 past 8 and Terry is sound asleep.  I do not know how long she will sleep but I hope she wakes up refreshed to some degree.  She had an OK day yesterday.

Terry has an 11:30 doctor appointment this morning.  I am not sure what will come out of it as she will NOT see the doctor that we like so much.  I did call ahead to let them know some things about how Terry is doing.  I am hoping it is a good visit but I admit I am a bit nervous.

Well NO tennis today.  I drove over to the courts at 7:00 and they were covered with water.  Karl, one of the guys I was to play with, said he would try for a 10:30 court time but with Terry's appointment that is out for me.  I am a bit concerned about getting her into the car as she has lost strength since she was in the car about a month ago.  I am sure we will get it done but it could be interesting.  

I did get some work done over the weekend.  I got our 50+ Christmas cards addressed, stamped and ready to go.  I know it is early but what is a person to do when you are home most of the time, twiddle your thumbs???  So I figured out AGAIN how to take our address book from the computer and print the entire thing out on labels!  The envelope you see is not stamped because John is here in Naples BUT all of the rest are stamped and ready to go.  It will be just a matter of making copies of the Christmas letter and stuffing the envelopes.  Terry read the letter and actually said it was prefect so we are good to go.  I most likely will not stuff them for some time yet and then put them in the mail.  Advent this year begins on November 28th so the cards will go into the mail on Saturday the 27th!

Not sure how I am going to use my time during the next two months as I now have the cards taken care of the family gifts taken care of as well!!!  I promise you this is a FIRST for me!

I have said this before but will say it again.  Maybe, just maybe, it is time to start a second book.  I love to write but have not settled on a format IF I do write again.  

Well here it is 8:40 and time to sign off.  I have not heard anything from Terry yet so I assume she is sleeping and that is a good thing.  

I only had half a pot of FP this morning as when I went to make it I only had enough coffee grounds for half a pot and I did not want to grind more as it may have woke Terry so half will have to do today.  Maybe that means I will have half a good day!!!

I will end by saying that the weekend was emotional to some degree.  When I get into the letter writing mode many many memories come up and so many put a tear in my eye.  I sometimes have to tell myself that I am still here for a reason and God has his ways so trying to find that reason and making good of it is a life long thing.  I did enjoy the last sip of FP so it is on to the rest of the day.
