My Heart is Full ❤️

Today was a full day.  We left for church early in the morning.  Ron was leading in worship for the first time in quite awhile.  Sarah was helping out.  My heart felt full watching them.
I was in the foyer at the church before and after helping people to sign up for our 50 Plus.  During the service, Sarah went out to help with the children’s ministry.  They announced during the service that the church secretary had resigned and also added that I would be helping in the office during the transition.  We have found lots to do in our church and are enjoying it.
After church Sarah went home with a young family.  The two little boys love to have Sarah around.  She took gifts for both boys, a birthday gift for one and an unbirthday for the other one.
Ron and I came home and rested before we headed out for a walk.  A good friend told us about this trail and it was a beautiful, warm day to enjoy a stroll to the lake.





Tomorrow, Sarah will be off to school and then have a basketball practice.
Ron will be working on 50 Plus plans and I will be doing some training in the church office.
Retirement is interesting!  It’s a new kind of busy.
Tonight, we stepped out on the back to catch some norther lights.  A beautiful day and a gorgeous night!

60!

Today Ron turned 60!  Where has the time gone?  Today, was his official start to retirement.  Wow!

He had kind of a quiet day.  Normally I would try to make something special but instead I spent most of the day in bed not feeling well.

We did have a nice evening last night.  We packed the truck and set out to find a place near Waterton to watch the stars.  

While we waited for it to get dark, we had a steak barbeque and chatted with people that came to the lookout.  

There was a man from Ontario who went fishing in northern Ontario and then decided to keep going.  A young man from Germany was visiting his girlfriend from Calgary.  Two ladies from Alaska joined  our “campground.”  Later in the evening, two guys from Calgary pulled into sleep.  We found out that they were going rock climbing today.

Our bed was just in the back of the truck.  You don’t really have to worry about bugs but we both had bear spray and a knife beside us just in case.


As the skies grew darker, we watched the show.  I counted 18 meteorites before I closed my eyes for the night.  My morning view was just as beautiful as our evening ones.  


Unfortunately, before we could cook our eggs or try our new coffee percolator, we needed to get home because I wasn’t feeling very well.

Tonight, we sat outside for a bit to watch the skies but we were too tired to last too long.
