Here we are starting the first full week of October 2021

TERRY

As I  begin my blog this Monday morning it is 10:20 and my Terry is sound asleep.  She has now managed to kick ALL of her bedding onto the floor 3 times since last night at 11:00 PM.  She is getting pretty darn good at getting attention!!!  BUT she is sleeping which maybe means she did not sleep well last night.  So nothing new.  I had intended to go for a bike ride before the heat comes but of course will wait until Terry is awake.

Well it is kind of the beginning of a new season as I have tennis scheduled for 4 days this week and that is good.  I have been on this track to lose some weight but all I have seen in the last 8 days is down 3.  That is not enough but will continue to work at it.  

I may stop at the pro shop today and schedule a half hour lesson with Phil as I have not done that for a long time.  Will it help?  Well here I am having started tennis 10 years ago but I play only 7 months of the year.  AND then there is factoring in the broken wrist, the torn muscle that required 6 months and 35 PT sessions and lastly caring for Terry AND I am now closer to 75 than 74 you be the judge if I can improve!!!  I will give it the old college try.  Oh my I forgot I finished the last of my college 45 years ago so that may not be present anymore.  Well, what the heck I will just live one day at a time and thank the Lord for each day and let the tennis ball land where it will.

I am guessing Joan and Ron are starting to get excited about the big day, October 16th when they celebrate 60 years of marriage.  I know they realize that they are so blessed to be able to do that.  I have no idea what % of marriages last that long but I do know NOT many.  I give them a lot of credit.  Given they are blessed to both be here but also anyone who has a marriage that long know that life is full of ups and downs and level times also.  Way to go Joan and Ron and may there be many many more.

I really have little to say today.  I really want to get out on the bike for a short ride so Terry needs to wake up!!!  

I see where Rutland ND had their annual UFFDA days last weekend and it looked like they had perfect weather for the day.  It looks and sounds like a wonderful annual event.  It is so nice to see a small rural town like that being able to survive and with flying colors.  I remember the year they made the 3500+ pound hamburger as Dad was there with his camera.  

No the FP is almost finished and I am too.
