Go Kim!

We got a letter from a cousin in North Dakota today. She said they were having a mild winter. Last week it was 28 degrees below zero but it only lasted a short while... mild winter? It was in the 70's here today. We ran some errands this afternoon in our short sleeved shirts, never even thinking about a coat or sweater. How thankful I am to live in the gentle and entertaining state of Florida.

Kim emailed us a photo of her graduation... the Master's degree! We have several daughters with graduate degrees. I'm proud of all our children. I know how hard they have each worked to attain the positions they hold and the education they've acquired, but today is a day to brag on Kim. She recently had a sweet baby girl (December 17, 2007) Peyton Marie, which makes her now the mother of four. She is a Lt. Colonel in the Colorado National Guard where she also works full time and is in charge of all the training for vast numbers of people. Very demanding work being a wife, mom, student and military officer and doing a top notch job in each of those positions. I will be spending time with Kim and Peyton Marie next month. I'm truly counting the days.

Richard and I relaxed at home after our errands. I made a dish, Asian Ginger Chicken. It was quite good. After dinner we did Bible Study then worked on a huge jigsaw puzzle that's been dominating the dining room table for several days. This evening we played hearts via Pogo. We enjoy pogo a lot. You can play with real people or computer robots.

My morning time with the Lord was especially good today. I share breakfast and lunch times in the Word and communion with Him every day and am so very thankful for the freedom and time to do so. God has blessed me even in the midst of disability.
