Sunday Morning

Well Saturday was one of those days where we were just home bodies; at least I was. Nancy took her mom to the mall and then to Publix in the afternoon but I stayed around the house reading and watching college football. It rained all night and the ground was soaken this morning.

The morning found us sleeping in until 7 then we did our quiet times and had a breakfast of eggs, grits and toast; that held us to about 2 PM when we decided to have a salad for a late lunch. We decided to take down the Christmas Tree and store all the ornaments once again in the attic for another year. The house looks so barren after all the Santa's are gone off the T.V. cabinet, oh well!!! That took us a couple hours to take down and clean up.

 We decided this was the last year for this artificial tree as its starting to shed some needles so out in the trash it goes on Tuesday. It saddens me to think of all the fun times we had around that tree, all the presents that sat under it and then to just trash it after almost **&%$# years. I bought that tree at Dillard's right off the floor at the end of the season as they don't repackage them for the next year. Its been nearly 9 years since I retired and I probably didn't work at Dillard's as security for 5 years or more before I retired; so we more than got our money's worth.

We ate leftover rib roast as fajitas with sauteed onions and peppers for supper and yeow was that ever good. After the cleanup I gravitated to the bedroom T.V. for football while Nancy flipped channels in the living room. I do miss this activity at the cabin as we have just the one T.V. Anyhow we did get in a phone call to our "mountain mom". Her son, Rick came up from Florida for a week over Christmas and they had a grand time together. It was good to hear she is finally getting over that nasty cough she had for weeks.

Well today we are going to our old church for worship as Element on the 5th Sunday does a house church which means no gathering at the warehouse. Since our house church is on vacation we will hook up with our daughter Amy and her family at SFBC. It turned cold over night with a temp of 40 this morning, yikes!!! LATER
