I am back!!!

 TERRY

Terry is about the same.  As I write it is 6:45 and she has been up for an hour or so.  She does not want the paper yet so as I write she has the TV on.  I would say she is doing about as she has been for the last many months.

For a guy who really has little to do and not a whole lot of places to be it has been kind of a busy few days if you can believe that!

Travis arrived last Saturday and has been here for several days.  It has been a wonderful time to catch up on each others lives so to speak.  We actually did not do a whole lot of things but we did spend much time talking.  Well we did get somethings done, a little but yet some!  Yesterday Travis took down a panel from over the pool area.  We have pine trees in the back and they tend to lose needles which then fall onto the roof.  The needles then slide down to a panel that is above the pool.  So as Travis took that off and cleaned it I spend time in the front yard trimming things that line the sidewalk.  Things were getting so bad in the front that anybody who came had to kind of tip toe to stay on the sidewalk and get to the house.  I trimmed things so it is again a clear walk up to the front door.  As I was doing that Travis got the panel down from above the pool, cleaned it and put it up again!!!   One would think those were two tiny jobs but we made a big deal out of both!!!  Well that was my work for the last few days!

Travis and I went out to eat last night as it was his last day here.  We went to the fish house which some people would say is a dive but actually is a quick, fish place with good food.  We ate at home most of the time but thought one time out would be good.

The HUGE thing is we are not going to the wedding.  I sent an e-mail to Kim telling her of our decision and guess what?  She said Terry had told her over the phone that we would not be going.  It is about 700 miles to the north with the traffic taking one though Atlanta.  It would have been a two day trip, a two day at the wedding and two days back again.  Terry just was not up to that kind of trip.  So we sent our regards in a note and a wedding present.  It would have been fun to take in the wedding but the going and coming home would have been too much to do.

So Travis and I spent a lot of time catching up on life.  I did play tennis a couple of times and Travis came over and watched that.  My game of tennis is not where I would like it to be so it really was not much to watch.  

We did have a tire that was low.  As I looked at it there was a screw in it and it was in a place that it could NOT be fixed so a new tire was in order and not for a small sum either1

Well here it is the evening of the 26th and I am finished for the day.  Not much is new here in Florida.  So it is sign off and more on another day!
