Thank you everyone for your responses.
I am starting to feel better about the situation and am driving the car more often.

When the car is moving slowly the temp needle will stay almost exactly in the middle. When I driving on the highway it stays just below the middle.

As I mentioned earlier, at idle, when the car is not moving, the needle will slowly rise up to the 3/4 mark and then the fan will start. I was not aware that the fan should run at 2 speeds. I am pretty sure I have only heard 1 speed, high. Should my fan have 2 speeds? When should the 1st, slower speed come on?

Thanks again to anyone wanting to respond.
