TERRY
Terry is awake with her phone in her hand and the TV on but has said she does not want the paper yet. I am guessing she will be reading the paper with tennis on as the morning goes on. I would say she is same same today.
I saw this in the paper and thought it was good for a laugh.
This may be true for some of us!!!
Terry has a Dr. appointment tomorrow and I am sure we will make it but not sure how to get her into the car. With the injuries left foot she can not put any weight on it so will have to think of something to make it work. I imagine one could call for help but I am sure we can do it.
Not a lot to say today. I may just go into a "memory" and call it a day.
It was the summer of 1957. It was a Wednesday and Dave and I had been picking rocks ALL day. Picking rocks was not our favorite job but of course it had to be done as some of our land grew great crops of those ugly things! So Dave and I would make a game of it. A kind of round rock could be a shot put and we would see who could get it in the rock wagon from a certain distance. A kind of flat rock would serve as a disc and the same thing would happen, try to get it in the wagon from a ways out. Then when we got to the rock pile it was throwing rocks to see who could hit a certain one in the pile. This went on ALL day and it seemed that at the end of the day there were still a field of rocks out there. At best we could wish the crops to come up so one could not drive in the field any more.
Anyway the day was kind of uneventful and as the sun came close to setting we parked the wagon and tractor and mounted the big and little bikes and headed up to Lake Tweaukon for a bath. Dave Brough a jar along and for the life of me I could not understand WHY! It was kind of late so our swim was short as we used soap and water to get clean. When it was time to head home Dave said we should take the road that goes east of the lake. Just as a person went down a slight hill there was a bridge where the creek went into the east end of the lake. As we approached the bridge I knew for certain why the jar. There were fire flies all over the place. Dave and I caught maybe 20 or so and put them in the jar. When we got home we showed Mom what we had. After a short time and after Mom had looked at them we let them go. To this day I am impressed with fire flies and the light they make in the dark.
Well another day and not much new. I am in the middle of a 2023 calendar and I will work at the for a while. I never play tennis on Sunday and I will not play tomorrow either as I was asked to play at 9:00 but Terry's Dr. appointment is for 8:30 so I think the next time I play may be Tuesday.
So here we are close to mid July. Tomorrow is John M birthday. I am wondering if they have sold their house yet. I do think John and Jude plan to become residents of AZ after they sell in MN BUT they will keep the A frame if I remember right.
So I am finished for the morning and I think I will spend some time watching one of the Grand Slam tennis events this morning.
