Today was absolutely beautiful with temps reaching into the upper 70's with plenty of sunshine and a slight breeze. We took our walk nice and early and were back home just as the sun was coming up over the horizon. It's the perfect time of day to be outside and enjoy the sunrise.

Today was a day for company and visiting. Ned S. stopped in just as we were finishing breakfast. He wanted to find out the results of John's MRI and had some suggestions for exercises that might help his back and neck. John then took a walk over to the driving range to look for some golf balls--don't ask me why--we have more than we will ever use. Stan M. then dropped in for a visit and brought us up to date on what has been happening around the fort.

After lunch we decided that since we were feeling pretty much pain free, we would head down to the Par 3 course and try playing some golf. We played only five holes when John thought it was best to stop since we are scheduled to play a best ball scramble with friends tomorrow afternoon and he didn't want to overdo it today. So far there are no ill effects from playing today.

On our way home we stopped off to visit with Jenni and Lloyd Johns. They just arrived back at the fort Thursday evening and we wanted to say hello and welcome back. We were at their place for a while and then the guys wanted to head over to Unit 37 to look at a place that's for sale right next to Chuck and Lois Endris. We all ended up visiting at their place until supper time. Just about all of our Winter Texan friends have returned--the rest should be here sometime next week. Plans are in the works for some fun.

I will soon be starting my third year of blogging and have decided to spruce up my blog page. I hope to have the changes made sometime within the next few days, so when you check in don't think you're at the wrong site. Have a Happy and Blessed New Year!!
