Enough Talk
There has been enough talk about getting Dennis’ little red pickup over to Kevin’s Garage in Fairfax. Today seemed like the day! My first time driving in a month following Dennis down the highway to our destination.
Driving didn’t present a problem for me. One more step back to independence after surgery.
It was great to have a short visit, stretch my legs and have Dennis drive us back home. What I noticed was the wearing of a seat belt across my chest for that length of trip. When Kevin and Kersten brought me home from Rochester, it was a much longer trip but I was also full of anesthetics and pain pills. It will be several days before we make the return trip . . . and I will be ready for it. Not to worry.
As we drove home, we noticed huge fields of wheat. Talk about amber waves of grain. August is the month for harvest. If there are no strong wind storms to lay the stalks down . . . it will be a great harvest. All of the crops in our area look wonderful. It may mean that the farmers will be sporting new vehicles. Not so from what we saw at the dealership in Sleepy Eye and not from what the news people report. Everyone is short of some computer component or another for manufacturing.
Here on Stauffer we have all we need for our day-to-day life and enjoyment. Less is more and we do it well. What Monday morning needs is less laundry waiting to be washed. Suds time awaits.
