Enjoying The Days Of January

When I awoke this morning it was 41° outside and though brisk it wasn't bad., Once the sun came up I was able to take my dog Gracie out for our morning walk. We had been doing 1 and 1/2 miles and this morning I bumped it up to 2 miles.It felt good and I enjoyed the walk. I'm sure my companion enjoyed it also. She's always ready to head out anytime I ask her to go!.

The high temp today was 63° and it was comfortable. It looks like the next five days will be in the mid 50's to mid 60's, not bad for winter. Of course we're talking about California and the High Desert in Apple Valley. The home of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. For those who are not familiar with these two people they were, (both have passed) western movie stars in the 50's and through the 70's. I never met either one but I've seen the homes they lived in.

Our temps make me feel happy I'm not living on the east coast with the storms that are coming there way. At one time I did live in the San Bernardino Mountains, in a city called Crestline. That's where I found out a snow shovel doesn't fit my hands. One winter, when I was first married, we lived in an A frame cabin, and I was working in Los Angeles. I would get up at 3am and shovel my car and my wife's car out and put chains on both cars. Then drive down the hill and take the chains off and then drive to Los Angeles about 60 miles away to work. Once the day was over I drove home and put chains back on and then had to shovel my way back into our parking space because the snow plow had come by. The lessons you learn as you get older!

I think that is enough reminiscing

Life is Good and God is Great
