Well Saturday morning saw us on the road to Brandon to watch our son Bobby coach and his son Gabe win their first game of the season against the number two team and they won big 11-3. Gabe had a couple of hits and scored and made some nice plays in the field as well as was the catcher for an inning; all of the kids love to put on the catchers equipment and walk out onto the field but due very little in the way of actually catching the ball behind the plate.
I started the day with 6 'ish roll out for a change as it's usually well before 6 but not this morning as it was actually near 6:30, yeow. I did my morning routines that started with a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble from the day before's activities and then I spent a few quiet moments with my Creator. I've been reprimanded once again for voicing my thoughts on FB which I find are biblical as well as letting my conservative thoughts about the liberal political class in America be known. I just tell the truth and that's just me, oh well.
I made myself a couple of soft eggs with grits and a couple of tomato's for breakfast for a change then I got ready as we needed to head out for the hour long ride. The traffic at 9'ish in the morning was more like rush hour traffic in the afternoon. The interstate was stop and go at times and on the way home in the early afternoon it was even worst. The new upgrades to I-4 are out dated as well as the area just east of the big bridge is a bottle neck as well. There was some poor engineering done on that stretch of the road where 4 lanes from the bridge merge to two lanes and another two lanes entered onto the two that have been merged from the bridge. They need to fire who ever designed that area. It's stop and go for nearly 2-3 miles in that area.
It was a bit chilly with the low humidity and strong breeze as we sat outside at the ball game. We were all looking for sunshine area to sit in whereas we usually are looking for a shady spot. The team played a great game and they won their first game of the season against a team with the second best record. Our team so far was the worst with no wins but that all changed in this game. Afterwards we met up with Katie's dad, grand dad and sister Kayla for a lunch in Brandon before heading home. I wanted to give the living room its second coast of paint as we still had the room in disarray with all of the wall pictures and curtains off and most of the furniture pulled away from the wall as well. I finished that job which took about half of the time less than the first coat of paint. I now need to redo the crown moulding with a brighter shade of white as the contrast isn't quite what Nancy wanted . I mentioned that when she picked this paint color but it was her decision so now I have to redo the trim, oh well such as it is.
We picked up GG and headed to the Ross's for a birthday supper for Sam. He wanted smoked ribs, corn on the cob, mac and cheese and salad. Nancy made the birthday cake. We had a delicious meal and the meat fell off of the bones. We all sang both to Sam and Nancy as it was both of their birthdays. We had a grand time and I even indulged in the cake an ice cream for a change as I'm maintaining the 180 mark rather consistent despite the meals out more frequently. By 8'ish I could barely keep my eyes open so we took GG home and then I jumped in the shower only to become wide awake. I watched the Lightning win in overtime in a shootout against a good Buffalo team which keeps their playoff hopes alive.
Today we honor our Creator with worship and a day of rest and I'm looking forward to both. We will soon be moving our place of worship to the Seminole area at the REC where on Easter Sunday we will have a service open to the public. Since we live so close we thought we would be a part of the launch team. We will have a campus pastor with our own live music but the message will be delivered via simulcast. We are looking forward to see what GOD will do in this area as our long term goal is to have several campus's in the county. Our goal is to help folks get closer to GOD, LATER
