Father's Day

Our workout timing was a little off today. The YMCA doesn't open until 8:00a, so it's hard to get a proper workout done prior to Church. We went to the Y afterwards and just did our weight training and stretching. We decided to do our aerobic conditioning when we got home. When did exercise get so complex? Upon our return we went for our 3 1/2 mile "aerobic" walk on "Two Brands Trail" up on the hogback behind the house. The walk took 1 hour and 20 minutes in the 91 degree heat. The thistle were over 6 feet high with beautiful purple flowers being invaded by bumble bees the size of tanks.

Since today is Father's day, I got two phone calls. Tyler, who talked about a girl and Noelle, who talked about the baby. I think the timing for Tyler is not good (since he is leaving Japan in a month) and Noelle is concerned about the size of the child (she has until Aug. 10 to watch it grow). I have to tell you, I've never felt so fortunate to have such great kids. God has been so gracious to me.
