2018 December 30 Sunday in Liberty Hill, Texas

33° (feels like 30) and rain. Not such a good combination. Temperature barely moved to reach a high of 39°.

I preached this morning. Ella recorded it and posted it on Facebook. In a perfect world the following link would take you to the video. I make no warranty about whether this is a perfect world. Try following the link and find out fire yourself.

I don’t know if it is the cedar pollen or the wet and cold that had me down. Whichever, I came home, ate lunch, and napped for three hours.

God bless you.

33° this morning and topped out at 49° in the afternoon. No more rain and the wind has died down to an average of five mph with gusts up to 14. But be sure to have your allergy meds, inhalers, and eyedrops at the ready.

The whole family gathered no at Adam and Leigha’s to celebrate Tate’s birthday.

On the way home we stopped at H.E.B for three items. Then it was next door to Home Depot for 16×16 rubber outdoor tiles. We need a dry path to our shed.

God bless you.

2018 December 27 Thursday Liberty Hill and Leander,Texas

47° this morning. Clear sky, bright sun, and still windy. Not the 40+ mph of last night but still a respectable 35.

We must have had around 2″ of rain overnight. We now have hey boat around our castle.

I took our patio awning down this morning. I’m not concerned about the wind but I wanted to let more morning sunlight in.

With the Santa season over, I had time to go to the doctor for steroid injections in both knees this morning.

Both the Over The Hill Gang and senior center are closed today. So, other than stopping to pick up a prescription, we had no place to go other than home.

The tree in our yard has some new green buds. Sure, why not? It’s at the end of 2018, why shouldn’t the trees begin to develope new leaves? It’s spring time in Texas.

Nope this not a brush fire. It is just tonight’s sunset.

God bless you.

2018 December 26 Wednesday Liberty Hill and Leander,Texas

49° overcast start temperature climbed through the rain to 66°. Afternoon storms continued until midnight. Severe thunder and lightning, localized flooding, thirty mile per hour wind gusts, and tornado watch. What a day.

We purchased 56 assorted cookies and took them to Grandies.

Breakfast at Hobo Just before Grandies.

After Grandies we went grocery shopping. We’ll be eating at home more now that we aren’t working at the mall.

The plan was to come home and get caught up on house work. That didn’t happen much. After groceries were put away, we napped. (I needed that nap). I sorted my medications for the next couple of weeks and recorded one that I’m looking on. Also made a doctor’s appointment for tomorrow morning.

It’s our anniversary.

Yesterday we had time with four of our kids their spouses, eight grandkids, and the the grandkids other grandparents. That was the best Christmas gift possible.

God bless you.

2018 December 24 Monday Christmas Eve in Austin, Cedar Park and Liberty Hill, Texas

We arrived at the mall around 7:30 and proceeded to the storage/dressing room. While I was getting dressed the malls alarms went off. They were quickly silenced. About fifteen minutes later they went off again and were quickly silenced.

KFC for lunch/ supper. We were off at one today so we were looking for lunch before returning home. We drove in circles for a while before landing at KFC. We are they and then just sat for a long time, decompressing.

H.E.B. has a gas station and car wash very near the KFC. We ran Rudolf the red nosed pickup through the wash.

Jiffy Lube was our next stop. With all the things happening for the last couple of months, I had let Rudolf’s care and feeding slip a little. Soon I’ll need to take him to Firestone for me shoes also.

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve service at Cross Tracks Church this evening.

God bless you everyone, Merry Christmas to all. And to all a good night.

2018 December 23 Sunday in Austin, Cedar Park and Liberty Hill, Texas

40° overnight and clear.

I had been awake since five and was working on my daily devotional so I was surprised when Ella’s alarm went off at six. Not only did the alarm go off but she actually rolled out of bed and got dressed.

I got up, showered, and got dressed. It was now six forty five. Ella was standing at the door and ready to go. I said, ” Hobo Junction doesn’t open until eight.”

She said, “We have to be at work at eight.”

I replied, “Yes. Tomorrow. Today we start at ten.”

She got out of her clothes and into the shower. It’s was an interesting morning.

We did make it to Hobo Junction for breakfast.

After work we went to Adam and Leigha’s because Amber, Andres, and family were visiting there from Florida. There was puzzle assembling, and game playing as well as supper.

God bless you and g’nite.

46° overnight and partly cloudy. It’s not the weather that is the real issue today, it’s the high pollen count. A runny nose and ichy eyes is not a good look for Santa.

Good morning, Sunshine!

This graph of sleep shows that I woke around 2:30 this morning and went back to sleep an hour later. I’d swear I’ve been awake the whole time. Laying still and not moving doesn’t really count as sleep.

It was another 9 a.m. arrival day but off at 2. We were there in plenty of time. Yesterday the set manager informed Elle that Ella was not to bring me down to the set. So today I sat and waited. About a quarter after nine one of the new hires came to get me. I asked if Jessica had sent them. She had. It took another ten minutes to get the set started.

We stopped at DQ for supper tonight. I snapped a photo that I was going to post here. However, when I enlarged it, Ella was caught in a very unflattering pose. I value my life too much to post it.

I was so tired that I came home, turned the AC on. Yes, it was that warm inside. I then last down on the bed with my phone in l hand. My goal was to work in this blog. Which I did when I woke at 6:30 tonight. Now that it’s done, I may go back to sleep .

God bless you and g’nite.

2018 December 21 Friday in Austin, Cedar Park and Liberty Hill, Texas

35° overnight with clear sky and 62° for the high

We started work at 9:00 today and worked until 3. To celebrate getting off work an hour earlier than usual, we stopped at a steakhouse for supper.

The next stop was Walmart for twelve small travel size packages of wet wipes. We are assembling packages for the homeless. The packs include microwaveable meals (they can be eaten without hearing also or dropped into hot water for a while), an individually wrapped cookie, a can of V8 Fusion, a bottle of water, a plastic fork, and the wet wipes. I feel better about giving them these packages rather than cash.

When I came out of Walmart the moon was up full and bright.

We were still a ways from home when Ella said she needed to use the restroom. I learned long ago that when she says she needs to stop, we find the next available restroom. This one happened to be at Leander Quick Mart.
