For the love of Sweetie.

My first hike into the Grand Canyon

Fellow hikers, fellows that have faded from my life, not from my memory. One has passed, the others just moved on. I used to see them at church all the time and now that I don't go there anymore, I don't see them at all. 

Fast forward to the present. I'm about to get ready for another great adventure. This time, I'll be packing, turning things off, and just sitting in great anticipation waiting for the bell to ring, the flag to go up, the pistol shot to get going. The calm before the storm. 

As of now, I'm just living my life, this life of adjustments, of not having anyone to care for, with no aim or direction. Sure, I've got the next two weeks busy. Seeing friends on the way home. But then what? 

I know my yards are a mess, the weeds are becoming the predominate vegetation in the yards. I spent years weeding, fertilizing, mowing and edging to give my yard that sign of proud ownership. Now, who cares?

It seems that Sweetie was my reason to keep the lawns green, the weeds away, and the house looking good. I wanted her to have her cottage, the home that was hers. It was my job to make it that way, and to maintain it. For the Love of Sweetie, I did so with joy. 

Friday

Ok, it is time to get up, and get going. Have an early tee time, and I don't want to be late. Now, with a new golf partner, and I've felt punctuality was always a good way to start. 

It has been windy for the past week, and today is going to be the windiest day of all. We have a window of calm in the morning. Hoping that we can get in nine before the winds kick up. 

Me, my partner, and one addition, a threesome, and off we go. I finished with 4 pars, and those were, of course, the better holes. I won't bore you with the bad holes. As we finished the front nine, the winds whipped up, and we called it a day. 

It's early in the day, and not wanting to just sit, checked what is new in the theater. The new "Fantastic Beasts" movie is opening today. Been a fan of the Harry Potter movies, and books, a good way to spend the afternoon. 

In the meantime, get a call from the insurance company. They need to get pictures of the car, and would like to come and see it. Made arrangements for them to do their stuff at the parking lot of the theater. All is good. 

Movie was fun, and again, it leaves that hint of yet more to come. 

Finished the day with my normal routine. 

Just wonder when Driver will step on the gas and get us moving. We're moving, and at the sometime, not going anywhere. "Don't worry, all in good time." Settle in, become comfortable with where we are now." Lets finish this part of the journey before we rush to the next part." And because He is behind the wheel, there isn't too much to do, but, Keep my Shiny Side Up, and we do circles on this Road to Life. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless. Arthur.
