I actually did a little work at my desk to start the day off yesterday. I haven’t totally forgotten how to do that, you know. I do still have to prepare for home group Bible study that meets here at the house on Thursdays. That stuff doesn’t happen magically, you know.
But
when Chris got up and we had a little breakfast, she was ready to hit the
road. And by that I don’t mean in the
car (although we are both kind of chomping at the bit to do that as well). I mean, of course, that we had to get a walk
in before anything else could happen. And
this time the walk drifted into three miles, with a concerted effort to
decrease our split time on each mile. So
much for a leisurely stroll …
And
after the walk we were back in the back.
Back yard, I mean. I’m wondering
if we will ever be finished with all this yardwork stuff. This time we were back in that back
flowerbed. The back part of it up
against the fence was still untouched by human hands for several years. So … back in the back back back. Sounds like a radio announcer describing a
potential home run. We pulled and cut
weeds, did more trimming on the wisteria, and even moved around some lily bulbs
to try to get it looking a little more balanced. Chris was pleased when all was said and
done. I’ll take that.
As
we crashed in the back porch furniture, Chris did some searching for a new picnic
table nine-foot umbrella as well as a replacement canopy for the yard swing. Sounds like it may be just as cheap and a lot
easier to just buy new ones. Add that to
our list of retirement expenditures, I guess …
Jachin
came by to pick up a book that his Dad wanted to borrow. He stayed and chatted with us for a while
over a piece of pizza. He seems to be
getting excited about college. I know some
younger siblings who are really going to miss him, though.
Colossians
4:6 says, “Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with
salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.”
Father,
be with Jachin as he works through all the last-minute college-y details. Help him to get enough money to cover his
dorm costs. Amen.
