2017 February 24

 Today is Sunday, February 26, 2017. Last Friday, February 24, the temperature was 84 degrees here in Louisville. Today the high was 44. We enjoyed the unseasonably warm weather by walking at one of our favorite parks, Beckley Creek Park, in the Parklands of Floyd's Fork. These parks are a 40 mile continuous stretch of parks along what we hope will become the Louisville Loop. The idea is that this Louisville Loop will eventually circle the Louisville metropolitan area - also known as Kentuckiana because it includes parts of Kentucky and Indiana. Beckley Creek Park connects to Pope Lick Park then a park known as The Strand followed by parks called Turkey Run and then Broad Run. It's a beautiful place to walk, hike, ride bikes or paddle canoes and kayaks. There are a couple of kids play areas that are very nice and even a "Barklands" for - you guessed it - dogs.

I took a photo on Friday and tried to add it here. I don't see it as I write but I'm hoping that it appears in the final product. I'll close for now and we'll see.

 I installed this app in order to facilitate journal entries then haven't made many entries. I hope to do better (story of my life sometimes).

Cathy's knees are getting worse and it looks like knee- replacement is coming for her. She will call the doctor tomorrow (Monday) and get the ball rolling. It will be particularly difficult for her because of her inability to tolerate pain medicine.

Not much is new with me. I still work in the temple each Friday morning and Cathy and I try to go together at least once a week. We are also working to become more proficient at Family History/ Search.

We have had a pretty mild winter so far and it looks like that will continue. I like it.
