I attended my first meeting of SHAPE's board members this morning. The chair lady, Ivy Ellick, appears to be a switched on lady. I pray that this new involvement will allow me to make new friends. Although I have not achieved all the spring cleaning and tidying and sorting of the manse that I wanted in this break from Bible studies, we have done some of the things - like shampoo the carpet, wash the car, fit a new window pane or 2, assemble the cupboards that we bought, and rearrange the contents of my craft room, etc. The visiting was also not as good as I had hoped. A few cancellations of appointments. But, if at first you don't succeed, try and try again.
Instead of going to the local 'diner' this evening, Arthur said that he was 'going for a walk' with his friends. He came home a while ago looking the worse for wear. They had climbed up AND down Jacob's ladder. All 699 steps.
He told me that when he had climbed the first 400 steps, he almost sat down and wept. He wanted to give up, but his only choice was 400 stairs down, or 399 stairs up..... Obviously, peer pressure was the driving force that made him complete both climbs.
