Up Beat Update!



From Jim: Well, the trip to and from the airport was the trip to and from the airport-with a little fog. We really like Southwest Airlines. Their folks are so nice to work with. The TSA folks carry out their "treadmill" tasks with efficiency and politeness. Stopped for some breakfast on the way home. A little waffle shop in Oroville has reopened with around the 5th new management. It was good! I hope they make it, jobs are so important right now. Got home to find Brian and Linda getting the tractor loaded up to feed. Boy, was that ever nice. I immediately steeled myself for the hard work of a catch-up nap. It took a lot of self-discipline, but I was able to force myself to fall asleep in front of the wood stove with Laz at my feet. He's doing well with his cast and the mending process. Sure hope the "mule lesson" stuck. Pretty quick now, we'll need to get out and fill the water tanks. And then on to the evening chores, a simple dinner and back to the difficulties of being compelled to get more sleep. The holiday season is getting smaller in the rear view mirror already and that's OK. There is a season for everything under heaven and it's properly time to return to the quiet familiar life of the sanctuary.
