Winter marches on in the deep south. It's hard to believe that January is almost over. We've had an interesting month, as far as the weather is concerned. We've had a low of 9 and a high of 75, a dusting of snow, a light coating of ice and tornadoes, all in the same month. Last nights low was 24 the high today is supposed to be 58 and then tomorrow we are expecting a high of 65 and thunderstorms.
Jacqueline's boyfriend, Daniel stopped by for a visit last night. He works third shift and passes within a few miles of the house on his way to and from work. They don't get to see each other very much due to conflicting schedules, but they talk on the phone a couple of times a week. He brought her a big stuffed Valentine Bear. She is thrilled with it of course. We are going to let her skip school on the 7th of February to go with him to see the Air Force Recruiter. He is interested in a military career and for several reasons we are hopeful that he will go into the Air Force. He has a dead end job right now, and I am impressed that he is thinking about the future and trying to improve his situation.
Randy seems to be doing good this morning. He didn't have a really good weekend, and seemed to be more tired than usual. He went to bed early both Saturday night and last night. He is trying yet again to quit smoking. It has been so hard for him to give it up. He has managed to cut down to 1 or 2 cigarettes a day, but even that is too much stress for his heart. I am so glad that I quit when I did. It will be 8 years in April. We both quit at that time, but Randy went back to smoking after being quit for 2 1/2 years. He has been unsuccessful in quiting since then. Only time will tell if he can do it this time.
