Well Saturday felt like a spring day outside and at times in the sunshine it was down right hot. We took off around 8:30 for Twill Auto where we helped with the oil change for single moms, military moms and widows all of which is Free. This is a service we do for our house church group which is usually the Botbyl's, the Anderson and us. I think we did service 8 vehicles and gave their drivers donuts, juice, coffee and a free 10 dollar gas card as well. We were finished up just before lunchtime.
The morning started out with my usual 6'ish roll out to start the day and then my routines of a few quiet minutes to spend with my Creator, my daily discipline work book and then an apple for breakfast before we got ready to head out. We were eating big for supper so we settled on a lite lunch of a fresh garden salad when we got home from the oil change and a quick stop next door at Walmart for a few items. It was really warm outside and we kept the house closed up as it was cool from the overnight temps. I headed out to hand water the gardens and harvest a head of cabbage and a green pepper for the cole slaw Nancy was fixing along with the chocolate birthday cake for Eliza Faye's birthday supper later in the evening.
Bobby and Katie were bringing Annsley and Gabe over to Amy and Tyler's so they could stay the night with Ava and Sam, so we headed over to visit with them before they had to leave around 4'ish as Bobby was performing a wedding in Ybor City which is in down town Tampa. They missed out on an excellent supper as Tyler had a whole turkey in the smoker since noonish with lots of hickory wood. The meat was awesome and so pretty to look at but flavor was delicious. Amy had baked beans, mac and cheese as well with the cole slaw it made for some fine eatin'. I even had a piece of the chocolate cake with white icing which is very good and well worth ingesting the extra calories once in awhile plus it was Eliza's birthday cake. She was so funny as she loves to sing happy birthday. We had a grand time and the kiddos all play so well together and each set are occasionally interrupted as Eliza wants to be a part of each set. They played hide and seek and she runs with them as they chase around looking for each other. She is so grown up for just turning two.
We headed out some time after 8'ish and took GG home. We did manage to watch part of the Patriots knocking off the Chiefs and then I thought the Cardinals knocked off the Packers when I shut the lights out way past my bedtime. I will have to read about that after posting this ramble for the final score. We had a storm go through the area sometime overnight knocking off the power momentarily as the clocks were flashing this AM. IT's supposed to turn cold in the next day or so and even bring some freezing temps close to the area. That could mean some covering up of plants at night this week.
Well today we are taking Anns and Gabe with us to Element Church and meet up with their dad and then head out with him and Katie to see first hand the house they have put a bid on to purchase after they are married in April. The pictures are of a very nice older home with fantastic amenities and landscaping. We will meet with her parents and do a walk through with them after lunch out together. Should be an exciting day as they make plans for their future together and see the happiness on his face with a loving mate. We are thrilled for them, LATER
