TERRY
As I write it is 7:45. Terry is with the paper and the TV. She had a tough night or should I say WE. She was up with things to be taken care of three times during the night and that does not do much for ones sleep!!! But she seems to be in good spirits and I am kind of in good spirits😉.
I have tennis at 9:00 AM. today. I do not even know who I play with but some time ago I wrote Tennis on Friday at 9:00 so I will show up.
We may be in for a real challenge. Our AC unit went out yesterday. I am waiting for the repair person to call me back this morning. I called at 7:40 as he asked but he did not answer his phone. The unit is maybe 20 years old and the repair guy said this. "You can get a part for it at a cost of $1550. You can replace the unit for around $7000. With the age of the unit it is maybe a 50/50 that the unit could be fixed and be OK for some time or the unit could be fixed and go out again fairly soon. 😂😂I think either way there will be a lot of money spent. In the mean time, whatever happens, it is not going to be fixed tomorrow I am sure. That leaves us in a home with no AC and temps each day into the low 90s. We may need to get out swim suits on and live in the pool!!! I forget Terry does not get into the pool now so that is not a choice. Maybe we can pretend we are back in North Dakota on a farm like ours and the AC consisted of windows on the west and windows on the east to be open all the time!!! BUT we are kind of long in tooth now so IF the repairs or replacement can not be done soon we may break down and get a window unit that is good for one room and just live in the bedroom for a time. What the heck as a married couple we should have a blast, right???
Well time will tell.
With Dave's death being two years ago Monday I should tell at least one story of how Dave and I got along. I will add, before I start, that we had a wonderful relationship but as brothers 2 1/2 years apart there were times when things got a bit dicy. Mom tells this story of how we scared her from time to time. She said she would be working in the kitchen and see these two streaks (that may be an over statement) go past the west window. It would be Dave chasing me. I tell you Dave was older and faster but there were times when it was necessary for me to kick in the after burners and I could stay ahead of him! I have no idea what caused him to be angry with me as I was such a nice kid!!! AND that did not happen very often but when it did there needed to be a lot of real-estate between us. I do not remember if he ever caught me but I am sure he must have. Well I am here today with no permanent signs of abuse so it must not have been too awful.
Actually I do not remember what Dave did when I went on my alone times on the barn roof. Many times in the summer I would climb the light pole by the barn and lay on the west roof and dream. It was never Dave and I so he must have been doing something important and yes that certainly could have been true.
Well here it is almost 8:30 and tennis is calling at 9:00 so I will sign off. I hope and pray that our AC, in some way, gets fixed soon.
