35 degrees in our neck of the woods, compared to 46 degrees (it was warmer earlier) degrees at Timberline.  We have air inversions here in the Gorge that holds the fog and temperature down even though it is warmer and sunnier in places that should be colder.
Such is life here in the ColumbiaRiverGorgeous. 
Just watched the Army Navy game, good clean cut action with determination on both sides, Army ended up winning by one, but it wasn’t certain until the last chance field goal by Nave with 3 seconds to go, didn’t go through.
Got a salmon fillet in the large oven and scalloped potatoes in the small one.  Just about time to pull them out.
I don’t particularly care for fish, but Carla does and since she has to work on our anniversary tomorrow, giving her what she likes; turned out well, she was pleased.
The answer is 52 years.

John 15:5  KJV  “ I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”
This verse has been on my mind for several days.  How soon we forget when it comes to working under the leadership of God.
We see a need, we know what has to be done to help the person in need, so we tell God what to do.  Oh, sometimes we remember to say, ‘not my will but yours be done’ but do we really mean it?
I am a very impatient person.  It is a big problem for me.  I want to see immediate results when I pray.
Even though I have been reminded in both His Word and in my life, that it doesn’t work that way.
I jump in with both feet, if I don’t see God’s hand right away, and forget that without Him, I can do nothing.
As a matter of fact more than once I have gone forward without a clear direction from Him, just what “I” thought must be done – and many of those times turned out badly; or at least not what I intended.
Instead of humbling myself, I tried to ‘fix’ it and while it did work sometimes, others it did not. 
I need to wait on Him, I need to admit I don’t have the answer every time;, but, He does.
1 Peter 5:6-7  KJV  Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
