Big Jerry

Boy, did we get a surprise today while Linda was teaching.  Both Jerry and his dad Big Jerry came to walk us!  Big Jerry is really the same size as my Jerry, but for some reason Linda always called him Big Jerry.  He is the person that Jerry hiked with to the bottom of the Grand Canyon.  Big Jerry is super fit and active.  As you can tell, Chim already has made a new friend.  Linda liked him the first time she met him too.  He is so easy going and friendly.   

Linda got home from teaching and decided to try and tackle the lawn.  She only had her left hand and a few fingers on her right hand.  Since she could not pull the little lever that makes the mower easy to move forward, she pulled it backwards behind her like an oxen with a plow.  It took a little longer and now her back hurts, but at least it's done.  She went ahead and bagged it too even though she wasn't planning on it.  If soldiers who lose an arm or leg in the war can still mow their lawns, Linda can do it with a busted up hand, right? When she was done,  she took a cool shower.  Wow, it felt amazing. Now it's time for lunch, hmmmm.... should she go to Sweet Frog?
