Driving to Houston

Well Gina and I must have been tired since I woke up at 9:45 and she didn’t wake up until 11 o’clock this morning. I couldn’t tell you the last time we slept that late. We are both feeling under the weather with our head colds. This weather has been beautiful but it must be getting the best of us. We did get our coffee drinking in while we sat outside watching the hummingbirds and fish. Gina loves this little sitting area for her morning coffee. Here is a picture of the area and you can see the hummingbird feeder at the top of the photo and this is right next to the pond.

This morning or what was left of it, we continued with the last few loads of laundry and packing up the truck. Now I know Gina brought a lot of shoes and clothes home but she bringing back twice as many as what she just brought home. When I asked her about it, she said, “I brought home my fall and winter things and now I’m bringing back all my spring and summer stuff”. I said ok, but at some point she is going to have to decrease what she has but she will probably tell you she already has. We finished loading the truck up and got on the road to Houston at 3 o’clock. It wasn’t long before Gina climbed in bed to rest a while. That was until she said, “I need a potty break”. We stopped just long enough for her to use the bathroom. I decided to take Highway 90 in Beaumont since I didn’t feel like sitting in construction traffic. We stopped at HEB in Houston and as soon as she opened the door she said “it’s cold and I didn’t bring a jacket”. See if she just carried all her clothes with her she wouldn’t have this problem. She got about twenty feet from the truck and turned around came back to the truck and said “please give me your sweatshirt”. She got that on and continued on into the store to get her a watermelon and some milk. We finally made it home at 8:30. We were both hungry so we heated up some jambalaya and white beans and watched the remaining country music awards.

We got in bed at 10 o’clock to watch the news but Gina was out within five minutes. We had a pleasant and safe drive back home and Gina was happy that I kept her home clean while she was away for a few days last week.

Until tomorrow, Gina & I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed each one us with.
