It has been nearly two weeks since our return from Florida. It feels good to be home. Florida is enjoyable but it is not home. We enjoyed our time with friends and each other. No matter what the weather was I would just look at the weather in KY and I would be happy with whatever we had in Florida. Despite the fact that we encountered temperatures in the low teens upon our return, we have had some beautiful days. I have even been able to sit and read on the front porch one morning. However, we have taken a turn toward cold again. Can spring be far away?
I have been able to get several projects/tasks done in the last two weeks. That always makes me feel good. My work shop now has an addition electrical circuit so I can now run a tool and a heater and lights all at the same time. The hot tub has been recharged and is HOT. We have been in it a couple of times. Feels great after working out. Fertilizer is on the yard and the flower beds have been cleaned. The crocuses are blooming along side the house. Monday we got four new windows for the living room and our bedroom. They make a big difference both in appearance and function. We will replace the rest in a few months. The spare bedroom door is waiting in the shop to be painted and rehung. I’ll get that done as soon as I get some warmer weather.
I signed up for the Triple Crown of Running in Louisville and Ann and I participated in the first leg, the Anthem 5K. The next race is a week from Saturday and is the 10K. Ann has not decided whether she will sign up. She did well in the 5K and I am confident she can do the 10K and the 10 miler. I feel ok with the 10K but the 10 miler will be a challenge. You can see pictures of Ann HERE. Of course you can purchase them if you wish. They didn’t take any of me???
We were able to attend Tyler’s basketball game last Saturday. He is a good player and really wants to do well. The teams look a lot like the Verizon network running up and down the court. The Crockett’s finished up basketball and have started practicing baseball. It looks like I may help coach again this year. Both Ryan and Kyle made their middle school baseball team and are getting ready for their first game.
I’m not sure this post represents a break-through in my blog clog. I do have some thoughts on the current state of our economy (who doesn’t?) that I may share. I’m not know how I would characterize the current state of my journey. I think a lot about it. I guess at this point I’m just trying to be sure that I don’t get ahead of God.
