Flower bed

A picture Janie took while on Skype with Jason

It was a beautiful day today with the outside temperature of 70 degrees and sunny.  Paul worked on removing the front flowerbed.  It was beginning to fall apart with large cracks in the brick wall that enclosed it.  About a foot of dirt will have to be removed to bring the area down to the level of the side walk.  It will look nice when it is all leveled out and replanted with flowers.
Janie has felt much better today with no fever.  She got to Skype with Jason and his family that are in France.  They are all well.  We want to go and see them at the end of October when their kids are out of school for two weeks.  It costs us about $3000.00 to make such a trip and that is a lot of money.  We will think on this and make it an object of our prayers.  We asked our travel agent to check into it and the route he came up with would take us from Dallas, Texas to Madrid, Spain then to Toulouse, France which is about an hours drive from Limoux, France. 
We watched a movie recently called "The Way."  It is about a man who walks the El Camino which is a hiking trail that starts in the Pyrenees mountains of France and crosses the northern part of Spain.  It is 497 miles long.  While we were watching it Janie raised the question "Do you think we should hike that trail?"  We think our time would be better spent with the grandchildren.  So unless we are in excellent health when the grandchildren are old enough to hike it with us we most likely will not do it.  Paul does admit that he would love to give it a try.  It would be safer than hiking across the Grand Canyon, a thing he has also wanted to do. 
God has put us on this earth for His pleasure.  Did our day as we spent it today bring God pleasure?  As we end this day we pray that God was pleased with us and that tomorrow we will bring Him Joy.
