Well the day started much the usual with a little before 6 roll out for me. I did my morning routines of posting this ramble and then some quiet moments with my Creator lifting up those I know and love who need some divine healing. Paw Paw is still one of those, however I did hear his voice later in the afternoon. He was unable to carry on a conversation on the cell phone as his hearing is terrible. They don't have a room phone at the VA some Josie has him speak on her phone. We managed a limited conversation with her interpreting. They are still waiting on test results from his inflamed hip and we won't know anything until we hear back from the doctor on what the next course of action will be. He is still somewhat bed fast and on the catheter which makes for limited exercise and rehab.
I headed out around 8'ish on my bike for the rec and got in nearly two hours of continuous pickle ball play. We have a new player who just moved here and is going to add to the list of A players. I had a wet shirt when I left and we are trying to get the play started a little earlier before 8 if possible. I came back and we set out to Home Depot and Nancy picked out a nice Fir Tree from the Grandfather Mountain area of N.C. I set it in a stand and let it fall into place before we placed it in the house for decorating later in the day. Nancy was off with her mom, GG shopping and running errands with her while I piddled around in the garden and yards.
I moved some romaine lettuce seedlings up into 9 pack's and then fed and watered most of the plants. The new Thai basil looks as if if it may survive as one stem is showing new growth. This basil has a licorice flavor and I had some in my Pho dish a couple weeks ago and the owner of the eatery told me to just stick the leftover stems in dirt and it will grow. I'm hoping it will make as the flavor is awesome in Pho and hopefully salads. After lunch I got down all of the Christmas tubs from the attic and then cleaned out the debris from the gutters as it actually looked like we might get some rain. It did sprinkle about 30 drops which felt like a flock of birds flying over head. The sun came back out and that was it for our wet weather. I never left the garden but did drag out the hose and hand watered everything. I have lots of green tomatoes set on the 2 plants on the side of the house. So far nothing has broken the plants off but the radishes never materialized and the recently resowed carrot seeds haven't showed any color either. Last year I had the best carrots ever. The Swiss chard is showing nice new seedlings about an inch in height and the lettuce seedlings are adding new leaves daily. Hopefully next week I can begin to harvest some.
Well I picked up GG and we had black beans and "gold" rice we purchased in Charleston along with sautee'd peppers, onions and the leftover flank steak, yeow with a jalapeno pepper on mine and some sour cream they were delicious. After the cleanup we watched the Fox Cable News and once more saw where an unvetted Somali refugee granted status by this present inept potus has injured several innocent folks in Ohio. Folks we have to use some common sense when allowing the "fox into the hen house". These radical muslim terrorist want to disrupt and change our way of life and we must vet them in a thorough way and if that means discriminating so what. We can not allow them in from countries that hate US(A). Trump is right on when he wants to stop all migrations from these countries until we can assure they are coming here to assimilate into our culture. The PC and leftist crowd will just have to get over it until we make certain they are legit immigrants.
Well we watched the O'Reilly Factor and he is right on on with his commentary on most issues that we are facing as a nation. The left is constantly with the help of the biased media going to make Trump's presidency a struggle and a difficult one; but I'm telling you the working class of America is fed up with the left and the PC(political correct) crowd and the slime in politics in D.C. His movement with this election should be a wake up call to those who constantly do their darnest to destroy our culture. This Republican Party had better govern now that we have both houses of Congress and the White House and tell these democraps to take a hike. We want our nation back from the influence peddlers, greedy politicians and race baiting folks who have no respect for our laws and law enforcement officers. The fact this potus glorifies the brutal dictator Castro is just one example of their leftist ideology and a disgrace to all of those folks he brutalized in Cuba over the last 50 years, LATER
