Hello January 9th. Nice to see you back again especially since you brought your friend “nice weather”. We’re sitting at 61 degrees right now with sunny skies and very little wind. We had a storm role through last night with a lot of wind and rain. The bottom is supposed to drop back up before the weekend is over so everything is as it should be. 

I don’t have any gossip to spread nor a lot of actual news tell. We did have one great event today. Today was Ms. Kate’s hair appointment and she was able to go with only relying on her cane. That is such a giant leap for her. I really hope she can get away from that rollator. But she’s responding very well to the pain management routine. It’s a lot of prayers answered. I can see her getting stronger every day. We haven’t made it back to the gym yet but hopefully by next week. Had to make a couple of Shopping runs in the past few days. We did Sam’s the other day and today we did Walmart. I really like the call and pick up program. It saves us a lot of time and effort. And —- by not going in the stores we only get what is on the list and don’t pick up any of those “eye catcher” items. We don’t have to grocery shop while we’re hungry and end up buying stuff that’s we really didn’t need. 

I’ve been watching the neighbors house rebuild progress. There has been electricians over there all week. I assume they had to have the entire electrical wiring done since it was an electrical fire that started it. Monday they had a guy out there tearing up the old sidewalk and a flowerbed. They have relocated the front door so they will need a new sidewalk to that. It’s interesting to see the progress being made. I wish I could peek inside and see what they are doing. But then, I have never been in that house so I don’t really know what it looked like before the fire. But I know they have made major changes to what the layout used to look like. They have been told they will be in by February 26th. I will be very surprised if that comes about. 

I’m currently working on what I call a “pocket sermon” which is what I call a sermon that I write ahead just in case someone needs me to fill in at the last moment. My friend Art says he is constantly writing sermons in his sleep. LOL I guess it is true that old pastors never truly quit. 

That’s it for today. The weekend is here and I hope your is fulled with blessings. Don’t neglect to take time for God.
