We made it through our three mile walk and
10 repetition deck step walk in the fog.
That’s becoming way too common (the
fog, not the walk). It’s back today
as well. Come on, Spring, you can do it.
Speaking of Spring, we did some outdoor
chores when we got back home. I cleaned
out the gutters. Yep. In spite of the stern warning I got from one
of our neighbors. Just as I opened the
garage door to get a ladder, she called out from her car, asking how my knee
was doing. She has been having a lot of
trouble with one of her knees as well, so she is especially interested in all
things joint-al. She was concerned that
I not get on a ladder quite yet. Too
soon after surgery. I actually ended up
taking her advice … sort of. I couldn’t
get to the ladder. It was buried beneath
the pile of Christmas decorations that haven’t made their way back to the attic
yet. So I went up on the deck, hopped
the little fence, and made my way across the roof. It meant awkwardly leaning over the gutters,
but I got them all cleaned out.
We don’t have all that much gutter space,
so it didn’t take me that long. Plenty of
time to then help Chris do some weeding in the flower beds. I bailed on her early, though. Stinging grass on my leg or some such
excuse. It was a long enough stint that I
am still sore today, though.
We had not one, but two FaceBook Message
video phone calls (didn’t know that was
possible) from Cailyn yesterday. The
first one was tell us that she got accepted into Austin Middle School. That is a huge positive. It’s a magnet school with the best reputation
in town. She was so happy that she was
jumping up and down. Well, the fact that
she was calling from her trampoline might have had something to do with
that. The second call was later in the
evening. She was doing some weirdness
with her phone that made her look like a very ill clown. Or one of Tarzan’s ape buddies. Or, as Nana chimed in, Shrek. Frightening.
That was what she settled on after sticking a pacifier in her mouth and
making two little pigtail thingies on her head.
Strange stuff.
Proverbs 21:2 says, “A person may think their own ways are right, but the Lord weighs the
heart.”
Father, thank you yet again for that wacky
youngster. Give her a great day at
church today. Amen.
