Karen and I are thankful to be settling into some kind of daily routine finally as the appointments and shopping trips are ebbing. After morning coffee and reflecting on the previous night's thoughts, we have been working our way through a devotional entitled "Amazing Grace, 366 Inspiring Hymn Stories for Daily Devotions", by Ken Osbeck. It gives the back story for most of the well known traditional hymns and brings back a lot of memories.From there, one of us takes the lead in encouraging the other to get over to the apartment's gym for a treadmill walk, a very small amount of weights (for me not much at all) and then maybe a short swim. It is of some benefit to be living in a complex populated by young people that work in the tech field during normal working hours, leaving us the run of the facility during the mid-day hours. This avoids a lot of finger pointing and laughing. This routine gets us off to a good start and provides some form of structure that successful retirement seems to demand. From there it's usually, "What's for lunch!?".
We have finally chosen a builder - Nalle (pronounced "Nawl") Custom Homes (NCH). We are very excited to be linked up with them and they will be the subject of our next blog. We still haven't closed escrow on the new lot so we hope it doesn't hold things up too much. NCH is saying 5-6 months to occupancy on the house. We had a great meeting yesterday to review all the details and finalize the drawings. We will meet on the property with the surveyor next week to locate the exact footprint of the house and the route of the driveway.
Perhaps the best news is that I have had a lot of 
pain relief from the SI joint injection this week. It is the most relief I have felt in many months so I just need to not overdo things. Karen is still doing all the driving but I need to start sitting up to see if we can add a few day trips to our living the Vida Local.

Here's a pic of our local branch nearby. I checked out a Bible in Spanish just for fun.
