"And He Rested on the Seventh Day..."

I want to say I got out of bed at 1030.
...but the truth is, it was probably 11.

I stumbled into the kitchen, grabbed some toast and a coffee, and just sat.  In the quiet.  With nothing to do and nowhere to go.  No schedule, no agenda, no tasks to accomplish.  So I laid down on the couch and read.  A lot.

Grandpa got back up- he had been up and down a few times before I was up, and we chatted and caught up some more.  I showed him some photos from the trip, and told some stories.  I gave him his new vacuum, and put it together.  We talked about my car and baseball and work.  The Jays game started at 1, and we watched it and talked about the old-school Jays I know and had met.

He nodded off a few times, and I ran out to the store for more half-and-half and some munchies.

After the game, we decided on The Hyatt Restaurant for dinner- Dinner for Two- from Dunnville's Chinese food restaurant.  Same deal as always from Grandpa- "I'll pay if you go get it".  Ha ha ha.

We ate and then made a grocery list for Monday.  We retired to the living room and watched Sunday Night Baseball.  I read a bit more during the game, and answered some emails.

I confirmed via email that I was available and willing to fill in at a baseball tournament the next weekend.  As it turns out, a team in Ontario- the Scarborough Stingers- misunderstood the coaching requirements for the Ontario Eliminations tournament, and now the players were being advised that they would not be eligible to compete at the Championships unless they find a certified coach.  Of which there are about 20.

So I was asked if there was any way I would consider going to Sarnia, ON to coach Scarborough in the Ontario Midget Eliminations.  My response was- 'Of course'.  How do I sit at home knowing a group of kids cant play without me?  The kids were ecstatic, and the coach and I were making my arrangements.

I checked in with Mom and with baseball and even with work.  All was well, and I was back to reading and relaxing.  Before I knew it, it was midnight and I was ready for bed.

An amazing day of rest and of enjoying all the I have been given, and offering thanks for everything and everyone.  Oh, and I stopped by at the giant mudcat.

Today's verse:  Philippians 4:12I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

My understanding is that my friend's son is again making small strides in his recovery.  Please continue to keep the entire family in your prayers.
