Our week is winding down, and so are we.  Last night was our 2nd late night movie of the week, and even-though Saturday morning allowed for us to sleep in until 8:30 the toll is being paid, but I believe that the weekend will be the proper antidote.  I had balked at LINCOLN on Wednesday, but that is where we went last night.  I enjoyed it and it taught me just how amazing Father's time line is and how it is orchestrated.  Earlier we had eaten at the Asian Buffet which is one of our regulars.  Now we have to decide how to end up our week.  Breakfast was an option, but we both are pretty much not ready to eat yet, so the decision will be between lunch and dinner.  I have so many smaller tasks on my agenda.  Some are more pressing then others, but it will be hard to squeeze in the down time that I want with the tasks that are begging for my attention.  I know that Sheila is in the same boat.  All we know for sure right now is that our Stake Conference meeting is at 7 tonight and then tomorrow.  Other then that our day is pretty sketchy.  Oh, on Thursday the ss lady finally called back for Sheila (she had been sick and not avoiding her like Sheila had begun to wonder) and got my wife signed up for social security spousal benefits.  When we were at The Roof I ventured to speak to a young lady who was there celebrating their 11th wedding anniversary.  I asked her what 'the gift' was for 11 years.  She did not know, but found our gift of 'groceries' amusing.  So, now after a week of delivering I believe that it is time to go on to the real gift and that not just for a day or even a lifetime.  Valentine's Day next week will not be much of a big deal for us (never has been), but just another day of delivering and enjoying what has been and continues to be my greatest gift.  I hope the same for all of you.  Don't expect 'roses' all of the time, but learn to enjoy the 'groceries' that represent the days that you are blessed with to just be together in this journey of ours.
