Well Tuesday was a busy day with a good workout at the rec in the morning, some baby sitting, reading and then a bike ride in the late afternoon. It looked as if we may have had a light rain shower during the night as the road had some puddles which was great to see. The weather is still rather warm with 80's but the humidity has come back so the a/c is on once again, oh well.
I started the morning much the usual with a 6'ish roll out to my daily morning routines. After my handful of Nutrilite vitamins and supplements washed down with a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric I posted this ramble then spent some quiet moments with my Creator in humble thanksgiving for another day and to lift up several. The latest on Paw Paw is he is doing better but still in the hospital in Martinsburg, W.Va. Josie puts up posts almost daily as well as phones a couple times a week. The mountains where our cabin finally got some much needed rain to help with the drought but mainly to dampen the forests against fire. It's so sad to see the fire damage to the Gatlinburg area which officials think was arson. Many folks are homeless as well as a few have lost their lives and many businesses are gone as well.
I had one of the best workouts with 3 other A players on the pickle ball court for over an hour and half and left their with a soaked t-shirt and fatigued, yeow. I'm finally getting back into shape as I'm now playing almost everyday except Sunday and some Saturdays when the gym is closed for the basketball players and games. We have a small core group of good players starting to come back to the rec and that makes for some great play. I'm still at times mingling with some of the good B players which at least keeps me active. I'm in this sport for the exercise and helping others to achieve good play as well.
I headed home just before 10'ish to watch Eliza Faye as Nancy and Amy Christmas shopped for clothes for the grand kiddos. We had a grand time together and she mainly played with the Nativity scene under the tree and then fell asleep for an hour or so. She is such a cutie and so mannerly as well. She loves he snacks and I of course loaded her up with mini oreos. The girls got home just before 2'ish and I had to run out for a meeting with my financial advisor as I turn 70 1/2 In February as I must take a withdrawal from my IRA's. We set that up for the upcoming year. I've been blessed with a great advisor who helped me become secure in my retirement and who is a strong Believer as well.
Nancy and I took a nice long bike ride through the hood until 5'ish. We spoke with our "mountain mom" and she and her siblings had a good trip over to Tennessee for Thanksgiving Day dinner. She said they got some much needed rain and that more is on the way in the next day or so. It's been fairly mild so far with above seasonable temps but the lack of rain has been throughout the Carolinas and made for drought conditions and of course a fire hazard. Hopefully this rain will lessen that condition for all of the mountains and towns.
I grilled bone-in pork chops with fresh rosemary from the garden, yeow were they ever delicious and accompanied by Brussel sprouts slathered in mustard and butter. This in not only a very healthy veggie but so tasty as well. I tried to grow them one year but they take so long and they require so much space that is easier to just buy them. The collards will be ripe for picking next week as well as some lettuces. It looks as if most all of the recently transplanted romaine and bibb lettuces will survive and I can get them in the ground sometime later this week as well. I like for them to have at least 3 leaves before moving them into the ground. The tomato's continue to set fruit and it looks as if the cucumber are going to make as those seedlings have now added extra leaves. For some reason I don't have good luck with them here in Florida in this garden. The 1/2 runner green beans are sending out runners and will be climbing the fence I made for them and the bush beans are really making nice plants as well.
Well we tuned into the Fox Cable News and the radical Islamic terrorists have struck again in Ohio. Thankfully the campus cop killed him. Trump is so right on with his message to vet all immigrants from countries that are supporters of these radicals or deny them entrance until they are vetted. It's so unfortunate that we have politicians who care only for the PC crowd and not our citizens. THANK GOD Clinton didn't get elected as she wanted hundreds of thousands of these radicals to migrate to our nation without any vetting at all. Trump continues to infuriate the left with his appointments as he drains the swamp in D.C. Please pray for his willingness to clean the slime from within our politicians and let the country know just how sleazy this present potus has been for the last 8 years, LATER
