The morning activities of an old man:  Say morning prayer, read emails, read online news, drink a cup of coffee, eat a bowl of mush (oatmeal), and play Solitaire on the laptop.


It is going to be another good day.

For the New Year, I decided to take up an outdoor activity. I started by trying to play catch.
I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me.

Next I tried throwing a boomerang. I couldn't quite remember how it worked, but then it came back to me.

Next up was hurdle jumping. I've always had a fear of hurdles, but I got over it.

Finally, I tried rowing. Unfortunately, I'm an indecisive person; I couldn't choose either oar.

Have a fun day!

It is a cold, dreary day today in the Valley so I have an excuse for not going outside.


Last week, I continued to work on my "North 40" (40 feet X 60 feet) at our property in Pharr -- cutting down a tree, cutting grass, hauling off junk, and cleaning up around the day care building.


So, today I am suffering from laziness and enjoying every minute of it!

Looks like the hiring has started.

Do we have reason to be optimistic?  I hope so.

The last day of 2010.


As I comptemplate the universe today, I wonder if my production of methane gas rivals the volume of that produced by the bovine population.

Merry Chistmas everyone as we celebrate the birth of Jesus!

 

We wish for everyone a joyful and peaceful day.

 

The fictional character, Santa Claus, brought a cold front to the Valley last night.  Yesterday the temperature was in the mid and upper 80's.  Right now it is 56 degrees Farenhiet.

 

The grandkids, our daughter's three, woke us up early to open gifts and now the house is quiet again.

 

The sun is shinings and God has given us another beautiful day to enjoy life and to give Him thanks.
