Work will win when wishy washy wishing won't

Things are feeling fine.  It's nice to just go out and run.  No big plans or purpose.

Wow!  What perfect fall weather to run in!  I am loving the morning, dark and still, but if I were to be going out later it would be perfet too!  Wonderful October!  I love still being able to go out in the morning and see the stars on a clear morning and not much wind to deal with!  I know this probably won't last long so I will try to enjoy every minute of it while I've got it!  And to have my own built in running partner to wake up with and go makes it even more enjoyable....even if I don't always show it.  Thanks Tom!

Tom and I went out in the beautiful fall sunshine around 11:00 today.  It was nice to sleep in a bit.  Tom has to take some vacation time before the end of Oct. so he has been working shortened days.  It's been kinda nice.

We started out together but he went up and down hills for 10 miles while I ran around in the river bottoms and back home in time to see miner number 17 emerge into the light.  What a joyous day to watch each of these men be reunited with family and friends and life!  I love how much they are all praising God....even the reporters make mention of divine intervention and comparisons to biblical stories.  So nice to have amazing happy news!

Tom and I got to sleep in and go out in the sunshine this morning.  I'm really going to hate it when he has to work full time again.  He's had to take several days off work this month for vacation (use it or lose it). 

After the run we took our 22 year old and his girlfriend and our 13 and 10 year olds to the Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy.  We quite enjoyed it.  Loved the jelly fish, sea horse and penquins the most!  We decided we want a wall of glowing jelly fish with tranquil music on one whole wall in our home! 

Tom and I ran together till the SF water stop and then we each went our own way for the rest.  I went back up into town and intended to keep things around 9:30 but ended up in the 8:50 - 9:00 range for the rest.  Enjoyed the sunshine.

Got home and heard a knock at the door.  When the kids say, "mom or dad", you usually have a salesman at the door.  This time the guy asked if I was interested in selling the clunker in our drive way. (OK, he said car, not clunker).  It has been sitting there for 1 1/2 years waiting for us to figure out how to get it off our hands.  They gave us $150.00 and now it's not in our driveway anymore.  They were happy and we are happy.
