This morning I went to Kroger. It was my first time out of the house in a week. Our road was still a mess but Bear Creek and Nashville Highway were fine. The store was restocking but most of what we needed was there. A little later we all drove up to Nashville to celebrate Lauren’s birthday. We played in the back yard and ate pizza. We drove for a couple of hours to get home so that Luke could get in a good nap. At home we unboxed and played with a delayed Christmas present from my parents – building blocks. They were a bit slow in assembly, but Luke enjoyed them. This evening I rode my exercise bike and watched the first 30 minutes of The Expendables 2. That was pretty entertaining and it felt good to get some exercise.
