Tuesday Morning

Well Monday was a total work day until 4 ish when we headed over to Brandon to watch grand son Gabe play ball. The trip took us over an hour and half with the interstates clogged with stop and go traffic for nearly 20 miles or more. I will not take that route again at that time of the day. It wasn't as clogged on the way home around 8'ish but still the traffic was quite heavy even then. When are these snow birds heading home?

I started the day much the usual with a before 6'ish roll out. I had my morning cup of tea with Turmeric while I posted this ramble and then some quiet time with my Creator in thanksgiving and lifting up those I know and love for healing and comfort. I had planned a work day as the Rec. was closed for this national holiday. I headed to Home Depot to purchase 3/4 inch round molding to encase the new flooring against the wall. I bought about 250 linear feet but needed I figured about 350 but they were out of ones I desired that were already primed. I got the 16 ft. long pieces back to the garage where I gave them a coat of white paint and let them dry the rest of the day. Since I had the sponge roller out and in use with white paint I decided to start painting the doors and then the trim in the dining room which kept me busy the rest of the day and except for a lunch break I was on my knees painting until it was time to leave for Brandon.

We met up at Bobby's and he served us a delicious supper of grilled chicken breasts, grilled asparagus and brown rice. It hit the spot and was grilled to perfection. I don't know why I never grill asparagus but I'm going too next time instead of par boiling. We cleaned up after supper then headed to the ball field which is just 5 minutes away for a 6:30 start of the game. Bobby is the manager so he is there early getting the equipment set up and then we drilled some of the team members with grounders, pop up's and some throwing exercises. These boys are all 6 years of age and are just learning the mechanics of throwing and catching and have to be reminded which base to run to or which base to throw to as well. It's a fun time watching each player develop over time. The team played much better than on Saturday scoring 5 runs but the fielding was atrocious and they let 14 runs in by the other team. Everyone seemed to do better despite the loss.

Annsley was at gymnastics which is right next to the ball field so Nancy divided her time watching her with Katie. She has progressed enough to move up into the competition stage which was a big first for her. She was so excited to show us the letter informing her that she could move on into an advanced stage. She is so small and highly athletic for her age as well as extremely smart. We headed by to Seminole shortly after the game.

Well after a hot shower I watched the Fox Cable News(the real news channel) and then it wasn't long after 10'ish I was ready for some horizontal lab, LATER
