Here we are at February 15th, the month over half finished!

 TERRY

Terry was awake when I rolled over at 7:15.  I retrieved the papers from the driveway but she was not interested in reading now.  So she is watching TV.  I am guessing she will want the paper soon.  She seems OK this morning but yesterday I was concerned.  She had TWO BM only two hours apart and that had me concerned.  I will not get into my job when that happens!!!  BUT she is feeling fine this morning so I think all is good.  There are some lingering concerns about her memory.  In the afternoon she enjoyed TWO pieces of that Valentine candy and several times remarked that the first piece that she enjoyed was the best candy she had ever had.  However a couple hours laters she had no memory of eating the candy so my concerns continue to mount.

So here I am having read the paper and am now enjoying my first cup of FP as I sip it out of my now favorite cup.  I am thinking life is OK!

I am worried about my long time friend Larry F.  His daughter sent a message to me on Facebook and said he is in the hospital in Havre and they are concerned.  Some of his children are going to visit.  I am not sure what is going on but I hope and pray that he gets well again.  I am not sure how many people have lifelong friends as Larry as been to me.  We became fast friends when Wood Lake School closed and we started school in Cayuga.  From the first day I walked into the 4th grade classroom we clicked as buddies. I admit it may have been because of studies.  I will not get into details but of the several boys in the class he was the only one who was a student if you get my drift.  AND at that time girls were out of the picture as one can imagine.  Anyway we bonded (I know I hate that word) and stuck pretty close to each other until I transferred out of NDSU in the winter of 1968.  He saved me our freshman year of high school.  I came to football practice two days late so I kind of followed him around that first day as I did not know what was going on.  We roomed together for 2 1/2 years in college but then went our separate ways for many years.  We hooked up again maybe 15 years ago or so and have been visiting and calling ever since.  I do hope he gets well soon.  I have asked his daughter Jennifer to keep me posted so am hoping that happens.  

I have tennis at 10:30 this morning and I think that is good.  As I retrieved the papers this morning in my sleepwear it felt COLD.  So tennis later is a good thing.  I know, how can 51degrees be cold to a person who refused to put down his ear laps as a kid growing up when it was zero???  Actually I do know the answer to that question.  It is called being accustomed to Naples weather!

Here is Mom and her brother Olaf and I have NO idea when it was taken but would guess maybe in the late 30s.  How about that fancy car !

There must have been a HUGE party when Aunt Ragna came to visit.  It looks like the entire area came to visit.  It looks like it was maybe in 48 or 49.

Well I think I am out of pictures and out of words for the morning.  I just replenished my cup with FP so will stay on the computer for a time but sign off of my blog
