Sunny Day

Hello,

The sun is shining, the sheets are on the line, the kitchen floor is washed, and Leroy is futzing around on his bike trying to make it shift better. What a great morning. In the afternoon we will drive to the Burlington area to help Leroy’s sister and husband celebrate their 50th anniversary. It should be a nice drive and a nice visit.

As the sun streams in the window it shows off the two poinsettias that still look quite beautiful. Then there is the primrose that has two lovely yellow blossoms. Out of the nine poinsettias in this apartment I would say that four or five of them are almost as good as Christmas time. The others have lost a few leaves. The shamrock, amaryllis, and impatiens are blooming as well. I am blessed with green and color.

I am behind with my walking but have put on four miles for two days so that should help with the total. It is so hard for me to get any miles in on Monday and Tuesday when I work from noon to the evening. I seem to have a “to do” list for the mornings that does not come home.

The church staff here is going to help Leroy celebrate his retirement by taking him out for lunch. We do not really see it as retirement since he will be working almost full time. It is retirement on paper only. It is retirement because of the health insurance issue. It is more economical if we use Medicare and the supplement we are buying. He is blessed because they are going to send him on some Stephen’s ministry training (he always likes to learn more), pay his way to the Synod convention, and pay him a salary for the hours he works for them. When Leroy starts on the extended contract in July he will move his office boxes out of here and into the church. That will be nice to decrease the amount of things here. What could be better? We will be living in luxury.
