Yesterday was our last Christmas celebration for 2009. We went to Lou's daughters home for the afternoon. There are two new great-grandsons that are about three months apart. They have been welcomed into their grandparents lives with open arms. Lou also got to see a grandson that he had not seen in several years. It was nice to sit and listen to the stories that were being told, as everyone caught up on the past few months.
Today was a busy schedule at church. We are studying Jesus' first miracle as told by John. Our pastor brought out the point that Jesus can transform us, if we invite Him in, as he transformed the water to wine, by being invited to the wedding.
Lou and I just purchased a new Bible that shows four different translations on each page. We spent the evening last night viewing maps and tracing the footsteps of Jesus. We both enjoy the deep studies and have noted things that over the years of studying we just hadn't noticed before.
After church and breakfast out, I thought with the current weather, it would be a good day to get some extra baking done. I am not one to like purchased baked good, so wanted to get some cookies done to take south with us. I did a double batch of Gingersnaps, (Lou's favorite), chocolate chip w/ pecans, and date and almond bars. Cooked a chicken and fixed chicken and homemade biscuits for dinner. Want to use the left over chicken and make homemade soup for tomorrow.
If the weather cooperates, we will get the RV inspected tomorrow and we both have some telephone work to do in the afternoon. I want to get started on my spring housecleaning, seems like our list gets more impressive each day. As we both said today, we don't have to keep to a schedule, we are free to go when we wish and return the same. Isn't retirement great???
