Rain Again

Well the last week we have had rain just about everyday. Maybe not a lot but enough to measure and if it keeps up harvest will be slow going. I really missed not hauling grain last year but I'm getting so crippled up I probably would take longer just getting in the truck than driving to th elevater. It's really tough getting older regardless what anyone says. If you have a disability it's even worse. I have to admit it does beat the alternative when you think about it.

Yard work

I finally think I'll have to admit the yard work is to much for me.I think when you're out in the yard raking and you find yourself using the rake for support the time has come to have someone else do it.My walking and balance is getting a little hairier each month that goes by. I don't go anywhere without a cane. That brings up the fact you can't handle a rake and cane at the same time. Believe me you need the cane on the uneven lawn to just stay upright.Soooo the time has come to hire someone to rake leaves and branches out of the yard. I would leave them there if the mower didn't mind running over them. The landlord would just gripe me out untill I did it anyway.

Hey There Friends

How are things going for you today? Not to much going on around here for a while now. Last month they had Winterfest, ( the Buddy Holly celebration ) that means there won't be anything exciteing going on untill the ice goes out of the lake. Fishing contests, boating, swimming and don't forget the big 4th of July celebration. The new water park should open sometime this summer with luck. For me being partially handicapped those thing aren't a big deal anymore. I guess the things I enjoy most are fishing from a dock, a few video games and working on my computer blogging. I'd sure like to find out who said retirement is a blessing. You'll have all the time in the world to do the things you always wanted to do and didn't have time. What a joke ,they didn't say it would take all the time in the world to do those things.
