Today, after a delightfully novel savory oatmeal dish, fresh fruit, and coffee, we headed for Sabino Canyon. Today's visit, our third, found us walking the main road three miles up and three miles down. On the way, Judy panned for garnets and found several hundred, all about a mini-micron big. Still, the chilly bluebird weather had us in good spirits, so Judy readily participated in what normally is a kid activity. Looks like she pulled the "75" card again. We hadn't walked for a few days because of our trip home, but we have ridden bike four times. Still, our legs felt the effort after today. In the afternoon, we sat in the sun while the wash was running its cycles. Not bad work if you can get it.
Of course, we're praying for sanity in the current world events, and a faithful God surely has a plan. In the meantime, mostly as a function of fate, no bombs are dropping on me. For that I'm grateful, and my fervent prayer is for that to be the same for all. "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance." (James 1:2-3)
On the cribbage front, the Wiley Cager and I have played 214 games since mid November up until today. I'm ahead in the overall with a total of +$7.04, which spreads out to winning 3.3 cents per game. Lately the Cager has been on a roll. She's whittled my lead by winning four of the last five games. So who can know the twists of fate? Anything can happen.
I've been thinking of the proposition the writer of 1883 made last night that we live at once in both heaven and hell. And god is the land in between. I don't know if that's little g or big G, but we hiked in a place God has been this morning, and that made life good, especially today.
Had to get with the ambience of the El Pais.
