Well Wednesday was rather dull at times as I caught up on some small piddly honey-do's after my morning workout at the Rec. Nancy had doctor's appointment for herself then chauffeured GG to her afternoon appointment with a doctor. We had no lunch crowd today so it was quite around the house. After lunch of leftover beef a roni I read as it was to hot and muggy to work outside.
The day started with me rolling out around 6'ish. The new silicone ear plugs seem to be working as I now feel a little more rested from not hearing the "band playing" as loud from Nancy's side of the bed. I have a feeling I will be using them from now on and I'm tickled they are reusable up to a point. That is no doubt one of my better purchases in awhile. I did my usual morning routines of a few quiet moments to honor my Creator, lift up those I know and love and then posted this ramble from the day before for my grand kids to peruse long after I'm gone as to how we lived our life in our later years as grand parents. They really would have been interested in my younger days when I grew up on the small farm without running water, no telephone or television. Eventually we got cold running water into the kitchen but no bathroom or hot water ever( while I was still at home) except for what we heated on the wood stove which we did most of our cooking on and for heat during the winter. Farm life was always demanding at least twice a day the animals needed fed and cows milked plus I had to walk nearly a mile to catch the school bus (I did have shoes) but no matter the weather if it was a cold or wet or snow or hot walk depending on the time of the year until I was entrusted or old enough to drive the farm truck out to the end of the dirt road and leave it at the school bus stop, oh well!!! I could go on but will talk about that at a later date.
I ate an apple for breakfast then headed out on my bike to the Rec. for some nearly two hours of pickle ball play. I had a wet head and shirt when I headed out to the library for a new read titled MAD NOTIONS. Wow, what a read this is that took place in Gatlinburg, Tn. which is just over the mountains from us and the topography is much like ours at the cabin and that is about the extent of any similarities as this area is much similar to the Boone and Blowing Rock area with the tourist trade. This is a good read and goes to show you that really nice folks can wind up dead when allowing a crooked business man to take control of your business in this case a local bank that was involved in the procurements of drugs. There is murder and mayhem that shakes this community and of a beautiful daughter of the deceased who becomes diabolical.
Well we ate lite for supper as I wanted to finish up the dozen or so already cooked shrimp while Nancy grilled a Salmon fillet as we eating down the freezer before heading out next week. I cleaned and put a couple dozen sweet onions in the crisper as the heat was beginning to rot them. These onions are as sweet as an apple despite the strong smell and while the crop of tomatoes is about gone we still have enough for the next week or so. I have three of these tomato seedlings doing great and now have three better boy seedling up as well and one celebrity seedling up to take with me. The kale seeds never came up nor did the jalapeno seeds. I will purchase them as for some reason peppers take a long time to sprout. I will sow the kale when I get there as the mornings are still quite chilly and the afternoons are barely out of the 60's. I need the soil to warm up to the 70's for good germination plus the cold weather plants will love these temps.
Well we tuned into the Fox News and watched O'Reilly in between the Ray's game which they won again with their bats and pitching coming to life over the Blue Jays but the Lightning looked lethargic at home and lost to the Penguins 4-2. They are now down 2-1 in the best of seven games. That was about it for the day as it was shower time and then some horizontal lab around 10:30, LATER
I want to wish my beautiful daughter AMY a happy birthday today. She is a beautiful GOD loving mother of three Ross children and we are celebrating this day this evening at our house. She is 33 years of age today and where did that time go???
