Well Sunday found us worshipping at Bridgepoint Church in St.Petersburg with about 5-600 other folks in one of the four services and which next month they will add another service due to the increased volume of so many winter visitors. Afterwards we headed to our favorite Asia eatery called Jade's Bistro where we had a delicious meal of spring rolls, sweet and sour soup, a baked veggie&chicken crock with rice and I had the Pho' which is a soup with noodles and lots of fresh herbs, Delicious. The owner Kim came by for a visit and afterwards sent us over to her folks place in Seminole who is quite the gardener who blessed us with some hot Asian peppers and a pepper plant for each of us as well a some star fruit. Later in the evening we headed over to GG's for a birthday supper for Nancy's sister Betsy who turned 62. The Ross family was there as well as Braden and Gus for a change.
The morning started with a 6'ish roll out for me and then my morning routines where I started with a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric that helped wash down a handful of Nutrilite vitamins and supplements. I then posted this ramble and spent a few quiet moments to reflect, give thanks and lift up several by name who need some divine healing. I haven't heard anything on Paw Paw's condition except he is back on a regular diet after a biopsy of his stomach or anything on Helen's brother Joe who was hospitalized in Tennessee. I should hear today how both of them are doing. I saw pictures where our paraplegic friend Eddie attended a Marine Corp Ball in Sparta. along with his family. That is great news for his ability to mingle with friends other than his his family. He is a fighter and will not give in to his lack of physical abilities.
The weather here is just so nice with low temps in the 60's and the high in the 80's with little or no humidity. We could use some much needed rain as can the mountains. There are wildfires all over the western areas of the Carolinas and we are hoping for some rain to lessen that threat in the mountains near our cabin. My garden is doing unbelievable with this mild weather. I do have to water daily but with the shallow well its no problem. A squirrel or some animal broke off one of my larger tomato plants overnight that had lots of blooms and I'm hoping I can save that plant. I will soon have a full garden and I'm ready for some home grown lettuces to start the harvesting which should be in about 10 days or so. I will put up some wire for the half runner beans to climb on today and get ready for them to start producing in a couple of weeks. Beet greens are ready for the salad bowl as is all of the herbs I brought back from the cabin.
Well I tuned into the Bucs vs Bears NFL game and we won big with a 36-10 victory. We were the only team in our division to win yesterday which keeps us in contention for the playoffs as of now. We had several family members attending that game which was played at home in great weather conditions. Katie's family are big Buc fans which is great for Bobby as he is a diehard fan as well. We had a delicious roast beef supper with smashed taters and gravy along with Brussel sprouts and green beans as well a fresh salad and crusty bread with a chocolate cake for dessert. I passed on the spuds, bread and dessert for a change which always adds to my spare tire. I'm trying really hard to limit my intake s well as my choices to help with this reduction around the middle. Now that Nancy has a new bike we can ride every evening and of course I'm back on the pickle ball court daily as well. You would think I would be a stick with all of the activities as well as the garden and yard work but the belly roll is still there. It's so much easier to acquire than reduce the added girth, oh well.
I see where the progressives are having a difficult time with the election results as they will have to give up some of their handouts. It's about time these wimps earned there way and became self sufficient in the real world although I feel sure the democrap(t) losers are paying these malcontents to riot and protest on the streets. We finally have someone who is beholding to no special interests or who isn't in control that is only there for the power which brings them money. I wish folks would ask how did the Clinton's amass such a fortune on government salaries? They were selling influence for money as seen in the corrupt foundation they started to launder money and garner vast wealth. Hopefully they will have to return those funds back to the people or nations who expected her to win and get favors as a result. She was pure corruption as a government cabinet member and yet there are those who cry foul that she wasn't crowned. We have a bunch of sycophants to these corrupt Clinton's and I hope Trump cleans the whole bunch out of D.C. while draining the swamp that has been there for years.
Well enough politics but I'm still at a loss for those who can't see how this past 8 years have lessen our quality of life and made us so weak an ineffective with defeating this cancer called ISIS. We have been hoodwinked in thinking America is recovering its economy with the lack of a workforce who is on the government dole and with so many not even looking for a job. The intrusion of illegals in the country and their free reign of terror that kill the innocent folks on the street. The working man has spoken with this election that was never to be and now lets get back to work and make our country great again, LATER
