Here we are at June 17th, Friday

 TERRY

Terry is up and reading the paper.  She is doing about the same.  No big plans for the day.  I MAY need to get some house work done but only after 9:00 tennis!  Hard to believe we are pretty much in the early part of summer as the temps here in Naples almost daily hit around 90!  As they say, "It is warm but if you do not like it move!"

John and I went out for lunch and from there I took him to Punta Gorda to catch his plane back to South Bend.  He sent me a note later in the day that he had landed so all is good.  I know that he is in the middle of BUSY family times with Elspeth going into 4th grade if I remember right and John entering college with Liam and Audrey in between so his and Mary's days are full, full and full.  I so appreciated his visit as I know he could have spend 4 days at home with much to be done so a huge thank you for spending time with me.  He did get to work out in the fitness area here and he did watch some of my tennis.  I agree my tennis is not much to watch but it is what it is.  It was so much fun fishing for a day.  We did try for a time go hook a Tarpon but no such with that but we did reel in plenty of fish and let all of them go again.  The catch and release was kind of like my fishing days at Lake Teweaukon when I was growing up but the tiny perch I caught and released were not in the same league as fish her in Florida!!!

If or when I fish again I think I would go with a guide where you would keep some of the fish.  BUT Wednesday the fun part was it was only John and I so it was a bit more personal as we got to talk to the captain a lot and get some of his knowledge of fishing.  Next time maybe a Tarpon!!!

I am in the process of gathering pictures for my 2023 calendar.  It is a fun time to go over the several hundreds of pictures I have to find a big cohesive idea for the year.  I have narrowed it down a bit but it needs more work to be done.

I actually have a goal in mind today.  It is way too easy to let things slide and slide in terms of an orderly home but today I will clean out the den to look nice again.  It really is not that bad but a little work will do wonders for it!

Well here it is 8:30 and almost time to get ready for tennis.  It will be interesting to see how things go in the weeks ahead as several more people will leave for the summer so I do not know IF there will be players for me to play with.  As in any place there are kind of unspoken groups of tennis players here.  Of course they are kind of by level of play but still there can be and SHOULD be some crossover but time will tell.  

Anyway the FP is almost gone and time to get ready.
