Okay, so I was not able to make my post for yesterday. It was a busy day and I just did not get a chance to make the post. So to make up for yesterday, I will be doing both posts today.

Day Four:
I thank God for the opportunity to take many wonderful trips with my wife. We so enjoy road trips, traveling on thee open highway and going to such wonderful towns and cities and seeing such beautiful scenes. In the thirteen years we have been married, we have driven to the top of Pikes Peak, walked on the roof of the Biltmore Estate; played with the dolphins on th island of Tortola in the Caribbean, and having dinner on the harbor in Marina del Ray. There are many other places that we have had the pleasure to do together. I cannot wait for the next trip to see where it will take us.

 Day Five:
I thank God that my mother’s hip replacement surgery went well today. After breaking her hip about five years ago, she had to have pins put into place to allow the hip to heal. Since that time, the pins slipped and she had been dealing with pain and discomfort in her back, her side and her knee. When the pain got to be too much, my mother (on her own) decided that she would have the surgery. The doctor said that everything went well and even better than he had thought. Now, the recovery phase has started. She will be in the hospital until Thursday or Friday; then off to a rehab center. Praise the Lord!
