Well the rain has moved out and the front did bring some much cooler temps with lows into the high 40's; however the afternoon sunshine warmed things up to the middle 60's. Wow, almost a perfect day with bright sunshine and blue skies. I was able to get in some garden work, picked another mess of green beans and harvested enough lettuces, kale, beet greens and a beautiful 4-5 pound head of cabbage for a fresh garden salad. I even blessed my neighbor Carol with a head of cabbage as well. She always comments on how beautiful and abundant the garden looks from her driveway.
I started the day with my before 6'ish roll out and then did my usual routines of a few quiet moments to honor my Creator and lift up those I know who need some extra considerations especially the loss of family members. I had my Fuji apple for breakfast then headed out on my bike for the Rec. We had three courts in action for pickle ball and I had a great hour and half workout that resulted in a wet shirt. Hopefully a few ounces of this belly roll left with it but after a supper at the Olive Garden later in the evening with those dang bread sticks, I think I added a few, oh well the eatin' was fabulous with Zuppa soup and salad.
Amy, GG and Eliza Faye came for lunch and little Eliza was somewhat under the weather with some ear discomfort. She has a low grade cold with hardly any fever, but some children's Tylenol helped with her discomfort and eventually gave her some relief. Hopefully it won't get any worse over the weekend as Tyler is back up in Reston, Va. for his job for the next couple of days. She acted a lot better by the time they left to pick up Ava and Sam from School. I made a delicious guacamole for lunch as well as a huge garden salad. I passed on the salad as I knew we were eating salad from the Olive Garden later in the day and stuck with leftover shrimp fried rice.
After they all left for the day I chilled and started a new read for the next hour or so. Patrick and Kathryn picked us up around 5 o'clock to head out to eat and then to a movie about Benghazi and what really happened in Libya. Three of the men who survived that slaughter of four Americans gave a true account of what took place. If we would of had some real leadership from the top down those men would probably we alive today and America would once again be revered as a force to never be messed with; but instead our top leaders allowed their death and only with some heroic actions and fighting the terrorist did several survive and actually leave the "hell hole". I was so disgusted with the inactions of our military who were ordered to stand down in making any effort to save these folks because our government was conducting an illegal weapons operation in the country which eventually armed the many terrorists who used these weapons to kill our people.
This administration is corrupt and are criminals in my book and should be held accountable and it wouldn't displease me to see this potus and his sec. of state charged in their deaths. We would never have known the truth of what occurred in that place as all of the higher ups lied about what caused this fiasco and then lied again about it in a cover up. This story is gut wrenching and I learned a ton of things that I didn't know about and once again we did learn of the courage of those few Americans who fought to their deaths to save the lives of so many. We wouldn't even send airplanes in the aftermath to pick up the survivors and the four dead Americans lay on the tarmac after leaving them alone for 13 hours to weather this storm. Finally a Libyan C-130 aircraft ferried the dead out; this was disgusting and totally reprehensible as they immediately started their cover up. I will never look upon this potus and his administration with anything but total disgust.
I'm so mad and ever person who loves this country should see what took place there from the perspective of the men who fought for so long without any help which was just minutes away. Our military showed such weakness and the world now sees how inept our leadership is and how we as a nation are no longer a force to be reckon with. Just look at how the terrorists are now spreading throughout the world and even in our own back yard. Wake Up America. I'm totally disgusted with this administration and those who support it and the Democrat Party. What happened to US(A) during the tenure of this potus. How have we let these people gain so much influence and disregard for the country?? LATER
