Pickleball!

We've been enjoying a lot of mild weather this winter and taking advantage of the opportunities to be outdoors playing pickleball.  Today my fitbit counted up 19,655 steps.  It was mostly sunny and up to 43 degrees.  Tomorrow is predicted to be much colder! 

We started playing with Josh and Kenny, and later Candy joined us. Gariann and Kirk came when they got off work, and played until dark.  We saw a spectacular sunset sky!  Photos courtesy of Dennis.

What A Year! Recap of 2020

 The year 2020 is now history.  Covid, corruption, and chaos!  Even so, we have enjoyed the blessings of our unchanging and ever faithful God.  His Word is true.  He's still God.  My hope is in the Lord. I trust in Him. I don't know what tomorrow holds, but I know Who holds tomorrow!  

We enjoyed a week in Eastern Tennessee riding our motorcycles in the beautiful Smokey Mountains. 

                           


We enjoyed many 'home' projects.  




We attended 'drive in' church, and then 'online' church, and 'wear a mask to church'. But yet, we are thankful that we still had church!  

We were able to participate in a few Cowboy Shooting events, which was a lot of fun!



 

We have often played pickle ball!  In fact, we were able to play yesterday, and hope to play again tomorrow and Thursday. 

Tomorrow would have been Mom and Dad's birthdays. Mom would have been 91 and Dad 93.  I'm so thankful for having had them for parents; for their instruction, example and their love and encouragement. 

I had COVID just after Thanksgiving.  My experience was very mild, but I did have a fever for two weeks and lost my sense of smell.  I'm thankful to have had so little discomfort with it, and no complications!  

Yes, the past year was one we'll not forget, and hope not to repeat, but it was still filled with much for which to be thankful!
