Day 35 - Thursday, January 2 - A Day to Enjoy

 We just lazed around this morning. Kathy had stayed up late and didn't get up until nearly 10AM. I had gotten up, eaten breakfast and then wasted a bunch of time watching Facebook reels. Some of the chainsaw work and sawmill work was quite interesting. I helped saw some logs (I was the guy who took the sawn boards off the sawmill conveyor and loaded them on a trailer) when I was volunteering at Messiah's Ranch in Texas in 2012.It was a good experience.

I also put together and email for my cousin who is in prison, outlining another week of our travels. I basically send him a Reader's Digest version of my blog. It gives him a little window into the outside world. With a little luck, or maybe some Divine intervention, he will make parole this year. His requests for parole were denied in 2019, 2021 and again in 2023. He applied again last last fall. If you feel led I'm sure he would appreciate your prayers, his name is Jeff.

I finally pried myself out of the coach and washed, waxed and lubricated the seals on two more slide ends, still have two more to go. The sun was shining on them and they were much to hot to work with. We went to Golden Corral for lunch. They have a great Senior Special lunch, $11.29 which includes your drink. We have no problem finding multiple food items that we enjoy. The problem is that we enjoy them to much and overeat.

Back at the coach we sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful day. I took the photo below while sitting in a lawn chair on our patio.

While sitting there Kathy did some crocheting and I was trying to read a book. She did OK, I fell asleep in the lawn chair. She ended up going to the clubhouse and spending several hours working on a puzzle. After I woke up I went over to the clubhouse and did 35 minutes on the treadmill and then rode my bike 3.6 miles around the campground.

Last nights low was 62 and today's high was 79. It is supposed to stay warm here through Sunday. Monday's high is forecast to be 58. Folks down here will be freezing. Our neighbor Loretta walked by while we were sitting outside. She mentioned that she was cold today. She lives here year around so she experiences the HOT temperatures down here all summer long.

Thank you Lord for a beautiful day.

God is good. I pray that He bless you and yours. He has blessed me.
