I do not know what happened yesterday!!!

 TERRY

It is currently 7:40.  I have finished the WSJ and the Naples papers and Terry is watching TV.  She said she is not ready for the paper yet.  She was up twice during the night and of course that means I was up also so maybe there is a half hour nap in the future today!!!

I have 9:00 tennis this morning.  That is the best time to play but one does not get it very often.  A person has to request a court and can do that up to 7 days in advance.  The program then spits out the schedule so a person has no say over the time.  Well when you sign up you request a times but that does not mean you will get the time you want.  9:00 is the best time as the cool of the early morning is usually gone and the heat of the day is not really in place most of the time until later morning.  Anyway it is 9:00 today.

I received a large box yesterday with several delicious items in it.  Aaron was kind enough to send venison and I will enjoy it for sure.  I forgot to take it out of the freezer last night so it will wait until tomorrow to be eaten but I can hardly wait.  There is also ground venison, chops and lunch meat so I will need to space things out so I can enjoy for several weeks!

As one can see it is kind of picture day today.  I got a chuckle out of this and usually Hagar The Horrible is funny in my mind anyway.

Well I thought this was pretty cute as well.  And as one could guess I pretty much always get a kick out of Pickles as well.

I usually do not spend a lot of time reading the political news but have been taking extra time in the last few days to read it in the WSJ.  It has been and is pretty interesting and with things happening around the world it is kind of concerning as well.  I will not get into my opinion on the way things are being handled as I am guessing the people who read my blog vary in their ideas!!!  So there will be no agreeing or disagreeing with my views.  I think there will be big changes on the horizon coming.

I do not have a lot of money in the stock market but I do watch it and it appears that it will be down down today and it was yesterday as well.  I am thankful that our (Terry & I) day to day bills do not get paid out of our investments because if they did we may have to forfeit some payments!!!  It will be interesting to see if or when the Mid East conflict/war ends and how that may affect our economy.  

I do not know when Wood Lake School was built but I do know that as a school the doors were closed after the school year 1956.  At that time there was a well on the south side of the school that was used in the fall and spring as before we went in after noon hour or recess there would be a line

After the school closed it was used for voting for a long time but as far as I know it is not used for anything now.  The addition on the right side is where we would prepare things for lunch.  We often had government commodes like peaches etc that we could all have with our lunch bucket noon meal.

Just to the south of the well was a great swing set, a merry-go-round and a teeter totter.  Our tiny ball field was on the other side of the school and the outfielders had to play across the road!

No I think that is enough for today.  I thought I had something that I wanted to add but decided that today is not the day for it so will sign off.  I still have FP left so will stay on the computer for a while before I get ready for tennis.  Terry still has not asked for the paper.  Maybe I need to see if she fell asleep as I know she was awake some of the night.

Enough for this morning as it is now 8:35 and time to get ready for tennis.
