The Kingdom Come

Just some more random updates. Today we opened our pool. In Indiana, that is something special since we experience all four seasons. Swimming season is short. From what I hear, it is actually cooler in Florida right now. Anyhow, I always look forward to Spring and Summer as I am an outdoors person. My family likes to garden, host cookouts, go hiking, camping, and canoeing.

The next bit of news is that after having helped my 16 years old daughter get her drivers license, we are now working with her on driving the highway. She is doing pretty good. We took a 30 mile trip the other day and she drove the whole way there and back. She just needs to learn to speed up as she is entering the highway and slow down when exiting. I had her veer off into the breakdown lane where the road is variegated so that she could experience the feeling and sound of it before and if she would ever experience it in an emergency situation.

The last bit of this update, we spent an evening at some friends' house last week. It was a fun time for all. We ate pizza and played games. The game they had is called BLOKUS - classic. It is a complete game of skill. One of our friends beat all of us every game except once when I tied and another when the other three players ganged up just to stop him. You can even play it FREE online against three computer players or three live players. PLAY BLOKUS. It's an enjoyable distraction and a way to keep the mind sharp.

Well, that's about it for me. I hope everyone else is having a good week, month, and year.
