Saturday Morning

Well Friday was a fun day with pickle ball in the morning and reading for most of the afternoon. The heat and humidity are back so the a/c is on yet the wind has really been strong the past couple of days. Nancy was at her Friday Bible study class so I hand watered the gardens when I got back from the Rec. and then Amy and Eliza came for lunch.

The day started much the usual with a before 6 roll out. I had my usual cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble and then spent a dew quiet moments with my Creator in thanksgiving and intercessory prayers for those I know and love who need to be remembered. I lost another old USAF buddy yesterday who just didn't wake up according to his wife. Joe was quite a bit younger but had some really severe health issues. The last picture of him was he looked very old and debilitated; at least he went quietly during his sleep.

I left the Rec. with a wet shirt once again after a total work out for almost two hours. The ride home was against a strong north wind and I was whupped completely by then. The garden dries out so quickly with the lack of rain and this strong wind but the shallow well has saved me once again as I hand water sometimes twice a day. I picked more tomatoes, collards and herbs as well as some beautiful carrots the day before for the family supper tonight(sat.) We will have a house full.

We head over to Brandon this morning to see Gabe play baseball and will stop at the big Ford place to get some estimates on a lease or outright purchase of a new truck. Ours is 11 years old but still runs great and looks decent but we are considering a new one this year. We will probably wait until we get back from Virginia the first of April as we leave in about 5 days, LATER
