I finished the Travel Buddies Log yesterday. Almost ten pages of critters of all shapes and sizes. Still not sure of their final resting place, however. For now, they are back where they have been, beside my desk awaiting the return of the grandkids. And the file cabinet is still out in the garage. A task for the future …
Is
that how this retirement thing is supposed to go? Discover and move from one task to the next,
throw in a travel adventure here and there, work on a jigsaw puzzle (we started
a new one), watch some TV sports or a movie, and mix in a nap or two? Oh, and maybe – just maybe – when it gets warmer,
sneak in a fishing trip. I do still have
to try out my new rod and reel retirement gift.
Speaking
of TV sports, that is what we did for most of the day yesterday. College basketball. (Well, Chris read a book). Things are just beginning to spiral down
toward March madness. Last year’s national
champion Baylor Bears are struggling to win games in their own conference. Auburn is ranked number one. Where are the Gonzagas and the Dukes? Looks like the tournament this year will be
one to behold, that’s for sure.
And
speaking of jigsaw puzzles, I have an observation. Peaceful, serene photos of thirty or forty
sailboats moored in the calm waters of a bay near a marina on a beautiful day
without a cloud in the sky do not make for the easiest jigsaw puzzles. The water is all the same color, as is the sky. The boats all look the same. The marina offers some differences, as does the
greenery of the nearby land mass. But
for the most part … three colors. It’s
on the table. Feel free to try your hand
when you come to visit. My goal is to
have it done before the Super Bowl commercial party here next Sunday (shameless
advertisement. 5:00 next Sunday, the 13th. Come).
We’ll see how far we get.
Proverbs
11:25 says, “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will
be refreshed.”
Father,
please be with Kel and the folks at Seaside this morning. Bless them all with your presence. Amen.
