Out of LEFT Field!

Well I'm back from a "vaca" up to mom's near Harrisville. While there I was blindsided by news from our daughter Jennifer and her husband Greg.
Before the news, you should know that Jennifer is one of the very worst at keeping secrets, (taking after her mom on this one) We rode up north with each other and not even a hint. we spent almost five days together, not many signs given. Then on Thursday Greg comes up and Jennifer gives us a gift wrapped in a little box. The gift is a book, on how to be GRANDPARENTS! I thought she had given us the wrong box or something. Me a grandpa? It still isn't real to me at all. Maybe it will sink in sometime toward the end of February, when the real present is due to make it's arrival.

For the DL on the vaca: I worked around the house for mom, I read three books (90 minutes in Heaven by Don Piper, Donald Millers new book To Own A Dragon, Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas (not yet done with it) and also a great book that I'm savoring called The Divine Conspiracy by Dallas Willard) sat on the porch and talked with many folks, took some much needed day hikes to break in new hiking boots, played lots of volleyball, went Kayaking for a day that ended in a thunderstorm. Anyway, thanks for caring...
