January 7 - “A Date”

We took advantage of our one slow day (aka no doctor appointments). Chris went for a walk. Sam stayed in bed. I did my back and hip exercises. I watched part of a movie I had seen before. Snow White and the Huntsman.

 

Update on Chris’ eye. She is still getting the drops four times a day. The sight seems to be getting progressively better, but it still feels like there is an eyelash in it.

 

Last night Chris and I had a date. Been a while since I could say that and not have to explain it. A friend gave us day passes to Moody Gardens, so we strolled hand-in-hand through the Festival of Lights, a mile or so trail of Christmas lights. Gorgeous. We also went to the ice exhibit. Some artists transformed a massive tent into a winter wonderland all carved from ice. The theme was The Caribbean, so there were all sorts of sea creatures and corals, along the expected Christmas trees and a Huge Santa. Of course, my favorite was the wall the honored the Astros as World Champions. There were several jerseys and a model of the trophy. Nice.

 

Great date. Chris, I mean. What we did was fun, too.

 

John 13:34 says,”A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”

 

Father, thank you for the generous gift that enabled us to see the sights last night. Bless the giver. Amen.
