I so enjoyed some woodworking with John and the boys. John took two small table home that he did a super job on and Henry made one. I forgot to take a picture of them but I am sure they will be in the Lee family room in South Bend for a long time.
Terry and I arrived in Naples late January 1. We had parked our car at a airport parking place at the Best Western and there was a bit of mix up but we finally arrived home about 45 minutes later than necessary. The temps have been cool here and this morning as I went to get the paper it was 41. I am attempting to do a little little bit of running and I am not sure I want to venture out in 41 degrees. Perhaps I can use that as an excuse!!
My one New Years resolution is to journal about what I read in scripture each day. I mention that here in case anyone reads this you can ask me next time we meet how I am doing. I have tried to journal in the past and all the time have failed to do it on a regular bases so try and try again.
I may have found someone who is willing to lend me a saw to do a little woodworking. I have thought I would buy one but I would rather not start to set up a wood shop here as it is so expensive so I may borrow for now. It will be a challenge to work with few tools and borrowed ones that are just not up to the quality I am used to but maybe the challenge will be fun.
No excuses I think I will try to run a LITTLE bit this morning and hope my hands do not freeze. Poor me in this cold weather.
Here I am 5 days after I thought I had posted this. Our computer was having the flu one morning and would not post and I had forgotten. It is Monday, January 9, and a day that has started out on a quiet note. I opened Jim B caring bridge and he is very near his life here. Then I opened an e-mail and found Jim H has a caring bridge and he is on hospice too. Oh my but it does bring to the fore front of one's mind that life is fleeting, it is short and a person needs to remember that we are here but for a short time.
I have gone through the first full week of 2012 and been fairly good at what I wanted to do. I want to spend time with the Lord and exercise each day and I want to do it before I ever turn on the computer. So far so good. I have been doing the daily scripture readings from Eagle Brook Church and it has been good. Maybe for the first time in a long time, maybe forever!, I ran (some may not call it running:(, each day for the last week. Well I took Sunday off but that was planned and not a "I don't feel like it so I will not" kind of thing. I wore my "big" pants to church yesterday as I have to get to a goal weight before I can again get into the ones I want. Maybe next Sunday I can smile as I dress for church.
Terry has been battling a very bad cold for a week now. Yesterday afternoon she felt better for the first time in a week. However this morning about 4 AM she again had one of those terrible coughing spells so I guess it has not gone completely. She did feel well enough that we spend some time on our bikes following a race and watching it. We biked only 14 miles but it was at a slow relaxing pace and with sunny skies and 75+ it was a fun afternoon.
Once again my coffee is not hot any more, that is what is left!
