The temperature is supposed to drop into the upper twenties (Fahrenheit), which is very cold for South Louisiana. Today was a cold day with a moderate north wind. I love this type of weather, it is rare for us and I enjoy it when we get it. We get month after month of HOT, muggy weather (which I don’t like) in the summer and even in the winter we can wear shorts and tee shirts a good part of the time.

More important than the weather, Christian is home for the weekend. He is getting around pretty good on his bum knee. He has a brace on it and it doesn’t seem to bother him to much as long as he is careful. He did bring a friend home with him, a pretty, red headed young lady form NW Pennsylvania. She is also in the Navy.

We had concerns about where to put them, but it has been worked out. The young lady is using Morgan’s room and Christian had the choice between the sleeping on the 3rd (half storey) floor or the couch. He chose the couch.

Today was a quiet day. Christian, Jessica, and Morgan went to meet Recie and Paul at Buffalo Wild Wings. The boys and I hung out at the house and Lisa worked.

Lisa and I went shopping when she got home. Then I assisted her in preparing supper. She cooked a beef and potato stew that was wonderful. All our family was here along with Danny, Jessica, Recie and Paul. There was more than enough and everyone ate well. After supper we had King Cake for dessert.

You can tell by the pictures that the young people sat at the table. Lisa, the boys and I ate a the bar.

Morgan did get to see an orthopedic yesterday. He says that her she has a chipped bone in her foot. She may have to have surgery. She starts her last semester of college next week and will be unable to drive. This makes getting her to school, logistcally speeking, very complicated. Oh well, we will make it work somehow.

I need to go to sleep so I can wake in time for worship services tomorrow.

Coram Deo,
Kenith
Ps. Lisa plans to make a Chicken and Sausage Gumbo tomorrow!!!!!
