Our Lucky Day

Friday the 13th is turning out to be our lucky day — surprise!

(Believe it or not, some people avoid black cats and stopped clocks on this day.)

Up earlier than usual, Kay and I went out for a walk in cool weather and got back just before light rain started.  This is day 2 of a nice break from Facebook.  Feels good to get out for fresh air!  I should walk more; it gives me hope.

For breakfast, I warmed up yesterday’s shawarma (grilled-chicken wrap “with a Detroit twist”), enjoyed it, and didn’t get sick.

We made phone calls to help a sister find affordable housing; talked to some nice people that showed interest and wanted to help.  There are many more resources with numbers we can call.

Kay boiled eggs for lunch, which is just what I was hoping for this morning!  Our apartment is warm, so the butter was soft and easy to add.

Visits to Roseville Ward members are planned for this afternoon.  We were able to identify some who are not attending regularly, who will hopefully appreciate a visit.

Have yourself a lucky day!

Things are looking up!

Postscript:

We took picnic food to the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House estate in Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan.  A huge crowd mingled there for the Detroit Symphony Orchestra’s annual “Hollywood Night” featuring music from favorite films.  The performance and accompanying fireworks over the lake were awesome! 

Together as companions, we loved the friendly people (including young families), uplifting music, and beauties of God’s creations!!
