NOTHING SPECIAL

Yesterday was a day for medical necessities. Since I was scheduled to have my stitches removed at 2:30, I made appointments for my annual tortures. (mammogram, PAP, blood tests etc. 11:30, 1:30 and 2:30. This is easier as I can use 1/2 day sick time and not have to worry about making up time if the doctors are running behind (when aren't they). The Mammo was first and they were giving away some stuff for October Breast Cancer Awareness. There was a pretty pink rose, some recipes, a pocket calender and other odds & ends. I had lunch with a friend who works in the Medicare office and then thought I better run home and put the rose in water. While I was at home, I clipped a few of the surviving roses by the house. I can now say I have had roses in my house in November.

The Husker girls gave me a Halloween scare last night by going 5 sets against Missouri. Really was nerve racking after the disappointing performance in Austin last week. It is a good thing I didn't have to have my blood pressure checked after that game.

Volleyball has been my entertainment this fall. Abby plays with W-P freshmen and has had a real good season. Last week Utechts & I went to Battle Creek to watch some conference games. Monday night I went to Wayne to watch sub-districts. Wayne beat Madison, West Point-Beemer beat Wisner-Pilger and Norfolk Catholic beat Wayne. The finals were Tuesday night, but I didn't drive to Wayne for that. Norfolk Catholic beat West Point-Beemer. Norfolk Catholic played for a trip to State last night, but I haven't heard any results. If they won, the have an undefeated season.

Jerry got his first deer of the season. Seems like he gets one with his truck every year just before deer season opens. This can be a lot costlier than the one he may shoot. With all the elk in the freezer, he really doesn't care if he gets one hunting this year. He does have a permit and will go sit with Abby so she can get one. If Joe or Abby wants to get a second one, they can tag it with Jerry's permit. The more they shoot the fewer there are to hit on the highway.

I'm completely out of ground venison- hint hint.

I think the ground venison is on the hiway somewhere.

How about that scare the volleyball girls gave us Saturday at Kansas State.

Janell, if Jerry gets a deer, he will give you all of it. All you have to do is pay for the processing.

The volleyball girls have given us two scares this past week. I don't know how much more I can take.

Tell Jerry I'll take it! and gladly pay the processing! Thanks! The VB ladies will finish big this year, I just know it. They are really a team to take pride in, even if they lose the rest of their games, they get lots of cheers from me!
