It has been a busy couple of weeks. As always I don't know how I ever had time to work. I am really busy all the time. Baby sitting with
grand kids, baby showers, tea honoring mother, birthdays, exercise, looking at old cars (husband and I are on a quest to find a 66 Mustang for me). I have been exercising every day - really trying to get to the weight my doctor wants for me. I know I will be healthier also! I have been walking in the neighborhood. We have only had a couple of peeks at winter, but it is back with a
vengeance, so I have moved my exercise inside. Yesterday, I walked on the
elliptical walker. I guess I really need to pick up my walking pace, because after 40 minutes I was really tired.
Husband, youngest son and grandson went sailing a week ago. Husband said it was a perfect sailing day. I didn't get pictures, but will next time. This is the first time son and grandson had been out on the sailboat and they really enjoyed it. With a few more trips, son thinks he could take the helm and take his wife out as well!
It is misting rain right now, and the temp is hovering at 33 degrees so the next couple of days are going to be messy. Exercise will have to be inside again today. I look forward to warmer days and bicycle riding again.
Middle son leaves
Afghanistan tomorrow on his birthday. Not sure when he will be back in the US (hopefully by weekend), but I know it will be nice for him to be back in the good ole USA!!!
We are planning an all holiday party for him while he is home along with a Chili
cook off! Hope we get back to the nice warm weather we have been having.
I have started going to a new church in the area. It is only 4.5 miles from our house and I think we are going to really enjoy this little church. Cowboy Church of Dallas County moved to it's new location last Sunday and will have its official opening on Feb 7. The church is very casual and has good old country gospel music. There is a country band with guitars, bass, etc. Husband seems to like the church also. At the end of each service the
children go to the platform and sing Happy Trails to you. It is a really sweet and moving service. I have needed a small church that is close to home for a long time.
I continue to pray for the president each day and have started keeping a prayer journal. I have joined the Presidential Prayer Team which sends an email link each with a prayer assignment. I find that it is good to have the scripture reminder and prayer assignment to begin the day. Our President and military troops need our daily prayers. The web site had lots of good info about Presidential staff and the weekly happenings at the
White house:
