Lou and I were up early this morning to shovel the snow off the driveway prior to the ice and rain. We thought if we got the snow off before the rain, it wouldn't be so heavy to shovel. We were right, we had just finished when the rain started. Of course, now the driveway is all ice, but the nice thing is we don't have to go anyplace today. Retirement is so nice and I am really enjoying it this year.
As you can see from the picture above. I planted an herb garden last week and it is all up very nicely. I had looked for something like this last year while in Florida to have in the motor home and couldn't find something suitable. We found this at the PX in Carlisle, now if all goes well I will have fresh herbs to use the rest of the winter.
Yesterday afternoon I baked my Valentine cookies and have that job out of the way. They are all packaged up and in the freezer until I need them for Coffee Hour at the church on the 10th of February.
Yesterday was a day of phone calls. We spoke with a retired colonel that we haven't been in contact with for several months. Our grandson from the Marines called with a belated birthday wish and we were able to catch up on the news from him and a friend from our square dance group called to bring us up to date on the news there. So good to stay in contact with everyone.
Our church service was especially good yesterday, as Pastor Keith was with us, it is the first he has been with us since Christmas. He and his wife had some time away after the holiday and were able to go to Florida for some very well deserved time of rest and relaxation. We have many ill people in our church body at this time and many in need of our prayers. Pastor Keith's sermon was about the church body and how each of us are important to the church body and our gift is equally important and we are expected to use that gift for to bring glory to God. Something we all need to be reminded about very frequently.
