Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.  And the rain fell, and the floods came and the wind blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.  Matthew 7:24, 25

This morning Jack picked Den up at 5:30 a.m. for Bible Study.  So I had some time alone for the first time since retirement!  I was able to sit outside with a jacket on and blanket around me, hot cup of coffee and my Bible and watch the sun rise over the mountains.  It was glorious!

Later in the morning I met Jessi and Hannah for coffee at my favorite coffee house and we caught up on the last four years for all of us.  What a blessing to have these two beautiful Godly young women in my life.

Then it was off to my favorite mall - Kalispell Mall - just my size - not overwhelming - for presents for two babies who were born while we have been gone and who we will meet for the first time on Sunday.

Then  to visit my friend Ruth, meet her Momma, Naomi (91 on Sunday) and tour her lovely new home.

The day was topped off with dinner at Paul and Darcy's and entertainment provided by Micah and Travis who did a rendition of Gollom and Bilbow Baggins that had us laughing and crying.

This was the first day I have really felt retired, and I think I'm gonna like it!
