Sunday Morning

Well Saturday turned out to be another gorgeous day here in central Florida. We are just about 5 miles as the crow flies from the Gulf of Mexico. There was a sea breeze which kept the temps and the humidity at bay despite the bright sunshine and blue skies. We are so fortunate this time of the year as we noticed the blizzard conditions in the mid west heading toward the eastern seaboard at a rapid pace. The snow is a welcome relief to those drought areas especially for the wild fire conditions.

I started the day with my usual 6'ish roll out and my morning routines. I was planning on pickle ball again this morning so I posted this ramble then spent some quiet time with my Creator in thanksgiving and lifting up those I know and love who need someone extra praying for them. I'm a firm believer in the intercessory prayer and I know lots of believers who feel the same way. Today is a special day set aside to honor our Creator and if you are one of those folks who are fortunate enough to not have to work or be on duty take some time to honor, worship at a church gathering and give thanks for our blessings. There are many who are hurting in our families and amongst our friends so lift them up to GOD and also lift up our new president elect. I know in my heart this was a divine revelation that he was elected to lead our nation from the secular progressives who have just about destroyed our way of life. This is not going to be easy to do as we are a divided nation as seen by the demonstrators, media and this outgoing administration.

We had some new and good players on the pickle ball courts this AM and I managed a wet shirt for about an hour and a half. I headed home around 10'ish to piddle around in the garden and noticed I now have a row of Swiss chard up. This is one of our favorite leafy veggies and so good for the body with its medicinal effects in combating diseases. The sugar peas are also up and the recently transplanted lettuces have put on a second leaf. Almost every hill of beans are up with second leaves as well. Kale is up in a container so I must transplant it into larger 9 packs later in the week. The garden is nearly full of plants and seedling all except the carrots which do so well here but my seeds must be old. They were last years so I need to purchase new seeds this coming week.

Nancy was shopping which is her favorite job so I had a lite lunch alone and then sat and waited for her to return home so I could wash off the Carolina dust from the truck. We were driving over to Bobby's around 4'ish for an Amway supper and meeting and taking Dan and Carol with us. We had 20 or so folks there and Bobby had a delicious meal of Greek food and all of the homemade sauces that accompany that meal. He is such a splendid chef and loves preparing and planning these get togethers. He and Katie's new home is beautifully decorated and so large but we mostly gathered in and near the kitchen which is like when everyone comes to our house. The kitchen is the central gathering spot and probably the smallest room in their house. They did a beautiful job redecorating it and Katie is so good at making even the small things great especially her desire for close work when painting. She puts me to shame with her ability to paint so precise. It's a big joke between us as she pushed me out of the "cutting in" of some rooms we were painting before they moved in.

We got back to Seminole somewhere around 9'ish or later and since I'd showered before we left it wasn't long until 10 came upon us and my eye lids were closing. There is something about the hour of 6 and 10 which has become so dominate in my life. I need to break the cycle and play more games at night. We will have a house full this coming week with family visiting from Miami area over Thanksgiving and hopefully after the kiddos are down for the night we can have some card games. We love the holidays with awesome food and fellowship with family, LATER
