Getting Old?

   Well, here we are. In our 70's. Jerry and I are slowing down... I can't believe it!
   Last night we hired a man to come and plow out our driveway whenever we have a snowstorm. We did??? Yes, we did. 
   Jerry was plowing us out on Sunday after the big snowfall on Saturday night and Sunday, just as he's done all these many years. It's even something he enjoyed doing! We have a very long driveway, in fact, it's a semi circle drive. 
   The tractor is also getting old! It couldn't do the whole job. It was too cold for Jerry to fix it right then and it still isn't fixed yet. 
   Rob knew of a man who does driveways. So he called him for us. He goes to our church. He did a really good job yesterday and for not too many $$!
   So, between Jerry and the tractor, both are getting too old for such work... Now, let it snow...we'll be plowed out with no problems!
   Thank You, Heavenly Father, for friends who are able and willing to help out when the aging process catches up with us. Help us to know when to give in to certain jobs and to be willing to turn them over to the younger folks. I thank You for the good life You've given us.

We are getting old too.. Tim will be 70 in March.. but we at least don't have to hire someone to plow us out as they have never had snow this far south in Florida... Not too far and we would be in Cuba !!! ha ha
