Well happy day, today we have been married 37 yrs and together a total of 38 and a half yrs. Anyone who knows me knows that’s a record event. I would do it all again, we consider ourselves very lucky that we found our soul mate.  Not everyone is so lucky.

We celebrated at a local casino with Melvin and Janola Uden, Jerry’s cousin and his wife. We did the buffet, nothing special, typical casino food. Not much luck either, but it was something we had not counted on doing. Melvin and Janola are newly weds, 4 1/2 yrs in Jan.  She was 69 and he 79.  Soooo sweet. and they just seem to adore each other.  They do have a long history though, they were both widowed, but the two couples grew up together in the same town and socialized together, went on trips, played cards, whatever you do in small towns.  So, it made perfect sense for the last two to stay together.They share  so many past memories and are now making some new one’s together. Its just so natural as each one knows what the other is saying or doing like they have been joined at the hip all their lives.

Well there is a big storm coming in so we may extend a couple more days, I could stay longer but we have to get on our way before we get snowed in. I have gotten some really nice pictures here.  All along the roadways are purple mum type wild flowers in various shades of purple. Of course the harvesting of the soy beans is fascinating, it will have to stop with the rain coming.

So, this computer has really lowered the boom on me.  First of all I am not a techno freak.  It’s mind boggling and I hate it. It’s first one thing and then another. So, today I took my computer to the club house to try to get on line, when I got up there I discovered my computer was hibernating.  Oh well, no matter what button I pushed I could not wake it up. Finally with the help of two ladies who work there, we woke up my computer. I never ever heard of a computer hibernating.  Well it only gets worse,  then I tried to get on line and could not, so this very nice fellow camper came by and told me I needed to have a blue lite on, on top instead of a red one.  After that I got on line and can now ever use my computer from the trailer with my wireless card.  HOOP DE DO.  Then of course I had been having trouble with my cell phone, only Jerry’s was working well with a very simple push of a button by Jerry my cell now works everywhere.  And after about 15 hours of Jerry trying to set up the satellite, thank goodness for cable, he has decided the trees here are to big and has discussed cutting them down.  Good luck with that plan. Well tomorrow is another day.              Hugs,  S and J.
