Good to be jogging again

I've been jogging at LifeTime Fitness the past 5 days @ 3 mi per day@ 12 min/mile pace. It's not as enjoyable as running outside, but it's been so cold this winter, that I've appreciated the warmth of LifeTime. I haven't looked at the temp stats, but it seems like we haven't had an 8am temperature above zero for about a month. Well at least it's not sloppy under foot. And everybody's cars are dirty cuz it's too cold for a carwash without freezing the locks.

Vivi, Bonanz, & Meatball came over and played or baked monkey-bread and chocolate cake, or at least licked the bowl when told they could.

Our new dog Misty

The Gentle Smith Matriarch

We met in 1966 when she was 18 and I was 22. We began dating soon afterward, and as I recall never disagreed on much. Our childhood homes were 3000 miles apart and we loved Minnesota and each other, so we got engaged in July 67, married in December and moved into a house with a teenage foster daughter. This was followed by , Daughter 1 the following September, Daughter 2 three years later, Daughter 3, a year and a half later, ..and eventually Son, 3 years later. There were also about 15 different short-term teen-foster boys in those years. The gentle matriarch has worked her whole life, hard. I went to college nights for a few years, she worked outside the home part-time while the kids were growing. She spent frugally, loved lavishly, and has always cared first and foremost about her family. She is a gentle giant who has brought love, fun, discipline, imagination, good food, and artistic, creative homemaking to our big family....and as I write this she's preparing for Easter Dinner...
