Thursday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day we did what I sometimes refer to as a ‘Camino’ Walk. The reason for it is because there are a number of Camino slack-packing walks around the Western Cape which look lovely but take about a week to do. My Camino walk is more of a stroll instead of serious exercise. We walked up to the Elsie’s Peak path and enjoyed the views along the way…
The house at the foot of Elsie’s Peak path is making good progress.
What a beautiful day it was. We walked a 4km route, taking our time and shopping on the way. We came home on the cat walk and stopped to enjoy the view.
We got home and about an hour later went for another short walk to the end of the road. There, there was an amazing pattern of clouds – the Lord’s handiwork splashed across the sky. No one else could do this!
The other thing about today is there were a number of whales in the bay. They are elusive creatures who break the surface of the water randomly and you have to take what you can get when you see them. My phone is filled with plain sea photos that have been preceded by enthusiastic announcements of ‘there’s a whale!’ I think they were Southern Rights, but am not sure.
When they do raise their heads, or tales or fins, they are amazing to see!
Final photo is of Raiku…on my lap this morning. He’s all right then.
I also worked 6 hours & I remember my Dad who passed away on this day in 2008. 16 years.
1 Corinthians 9:25
Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
