Here we are at May 1

 TERRY

Terry is the same.  She is watching the "Golden Girls" and enjoying it a lot.  I admit they are funny but not for me on a Sunday morning.  Terry is doing the same so that is good.  I need to get her into the living room today as being in bed all day long it not a good thing.  Wait, the TV needs to be fixed before I change her from the bedroom to the living room.

It is a wonderful day out.  I am guessing it will get up to close to 90 today but know rain and it is sunny.  It may be a good day for a bike ride.  Also I need to go to Costco for a couple of things.  So I will do that mid morning so I can beat the rush.  Well now that we are into May Costco will not be so busy until the fall again.

Well I will write about another chapter in my life.

It was early spring of 1968

It is April 12 of 1968.  Gail and I are in the car headed to North Dakota for the weekend.  There will be a shower for Gail on Sunday.  They it will be back to Minot for the remainder of the quarter.  It will be a long but short weekend.  We arrived in Cayuga late as it was a 300 mile trip bit final arrive about 10 AM.  I wanted to leave early but I had a class and couldn't leave until that was over.  We got up bright and early Saturday and Gail had things to do of course but I not so much.  The day went quickly and we went to church on Saturday night.  While Gail was busy all afternoon I went out to visit my parents for a while.  By that time Dad had already traded in the Harley for a bigger motorcycle.  Anyway the day quickly pasted and here we were on a Sunday with the shower.  We packed up quickly and headed to Minot as it was a 5 hours drive.  

That was the beginning of a busy few weeks.  Gail had left much of the planning of our wedding to her mom as she was finishing up school.  She graduated May 30 and we headed home.  We had one day to get things in order and the next day we got married.  Then it was back to school as the next week Gail started on her masters and I had some classes to take in the summer.  I just needed some credits so as I remember one of the classes I took was bowling!  Anyway by the end of the summer we had everything figured out.  We would be in Devils Lake for the fall semester.  We would then head back to school for the winter and then head back to Devils Lake for the spring.  Then it would be time to figure out what we wanted to do.  As it turned out I signed a contract to teacher and we went from there.  It is a long story that will be continued for a time.

I am out of things to say for today.  Our neighbors to our right have left for the summer.  Our neighbors to our left are gone for a 4 days weekend and then will leave for the summer about mid May.  It will then look like a ghost town for the next few months until people begin to return in November again.  

I will sign off for now.
