Terry
Nothing new as I would say Terry is the same. I need to call her support person who schedules her OT and PT as last week it was kind of crazy and mixed up.
This may end up with some pictures again
Here is my only watch and certainly a special one. It is a Tag which in my world is too expensive for me but yes it is mine. Gail and the kids gave it to me for my 50th birthday. The boys distracted me in the afternoon of January 27th, 19997 as they took me bowling which was unusual. BUT it was only to get me out of the house so Gail could get a surprise party ready for me in the church basement. IF I remember correctly (sometimes that is a question) there were maybe 30 + people for the party which had great goodies for the meal. Then the family gave me this watch. At the time I know that it was TOO spendy a gift but Gail pulled it off. As one can see it shows some wear and tear but then any THING or anyBODY that is 24 years old would show some wear, right? I pretty much wore it daily until maybe 2007 when I retired from teaching. Now I wear it only if I go out for a visit etc. I mean we all have the time on our phones, right! BUT it is still special to wear and I did that last Friday. Getting together with old old friends was a good time to put it on and enjoy it. I may not go out all that much now so the watch is often left in the drawer and I am sure it is kind of sad BUT I still enjoy it and the memories it brings are priceless.
Well here it is Monday but I started this blog last night. I have tennis at 10:30 today and I do believe Terry will get either OT or PT today. They are awful at letting us know ahead of time as it is not unusual to get a phone call and hear they are coming in an hour! I will call this morning to see IF that is normal. With that kind of service one is never sure if you should stay home or run an errand. I think when I leave for tennis I will leave the front door unlocked just in case.
We have been having heavy fog in the mornings. I would say right now one may be able to see only a mile or so if you were driving.
It is hard to believe how destructive the storms were last night in the middle states.
One might ask what does our farm house have to do with storms. Well it goes like this:
It was late May of 1956. It was close to 3:30 and we were kind of restless as we wanted to get home BUT there were black storm clouds in the west and the teacher said we had to stay until the storm passed. The wind came up and the black clouds passed over us to the north. When all seemed to be a "go" to head home we looked to the NW and noticed that we could NOT see the wind charger on the top of our house. With ALL sorts of ideas running through our mind Joan, Dave and I headed towards home fearful of what had happened. As we hit the mile marker and headed north up the road towards our farm we could see the house and breathed a sigh of relieve but still continued on the run. As we came up over the hill just to the SE of our farm we could see our house was good but our big shed just to the north of it had been blown down in a heap of ruble AND the reason we know about the storm was the wind charger which was still atop the house had blown down. So all was good except the shed but the good part was the truck and car were not in the shed. It took us a couple of summers to clean the mess up and in doing so there was more than one time I went limbing into the house with a nail in the bottom of my foot! The storm last night brought this to mind. BUT I add there is NO comparison in losing an old building with NO injuries to the awful devastation with many many dead. They are saying the storm was like a once in a hundred year event.
Well here it is about 9:00 so will sign off for the day. I still have half a cup of FP so will look up some things on the computer before I get ready for 10:30 tennis.
