A Day Out
This evening we are attending a banquet in Mankato with Dennis’ group of Korean veterans. They hadn’t met for a long time due to the covid. When Dennis went to the meeting in the first part of August, he remarked that there were less participating and some were struggling with health issues. What I find remarkable is that there are several women that are present as they were nurses during the Korean War, though labeled as a police action.
We are heading out to Mankato at noon as we have some additional stops to make. Dennis’ lawn sweeper does a great job. The brushes are nylon. The suggestion was to order an extra pair as the nylon would wear as they are to be set at ground level. There were two phone numbers in the instruction manual. I am not the best with using my Tracfone in regard to punching the accurate number. The first time I got a business that wanted to sell me medical supplies. I tried again, the same results. Hmm. I tried the second number and they were a business dealing with foreclosures and evictions. Hmm. Try, try. I finally went online and got to speak to a real person. She was not surprised as she said they frequently get calls in regard to garden appliances.
Today we will be making inquires at Menards service center for the rest of the story as to how to interact with this company that they sell products from. It will be interesting.
On a side note. Today, for the first time since February’s stroke, the index finger on my left hand had enough strength to push down the soft button on my deodorant container. Sweet. All the physical therapy that I do each day in my home is working. Getting back to the sewing studio needs the cooperation of that left hand and it’s a good thing it is showing a want to take part.
Have a great weekend everybody!
