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.
