Well Monday was a mixture of play and work but the weather was much like a spring morning in the mountains at the cabin. The cool mornings and warm afternoons and the birds are so happy with their noisy chatter and singing they are almost annoying. The fuzzies are here with the new green leaves popping out and the little green worms hanging from the trees are so spring time.
I started the day with my usual 6 ish roll out to a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble then I spent some time with my Creator in thanksgiving and prayer for those I know and love who are hurting. I spoke with Paw Paw and he seemed in good spirits as he gets ready in two weeks for a total hip replacement at Walter Reed Hospital in Maryland. It's one of the best VA Hospitals for this procedure as is the VA facility here at Bay Pines in St. Pete. I'm heading there this morning(TUE) for my yearly blood work after a morning fast. We are heading up to see him on the 2nd of April before undergoing this major surgery. We will spent a night at the cabin on the way up and then again on the way back. I will open up the cabin from the winter and maybe get some work done for a day or so on the way back. Hopefully the hard freezes are over for this year but just last week they had temps in the single digits but only for a day or so.
I headed out to the Rec. around 8'ish and spent nearly two hours on the pickle ball court before leaving with a wet shirt. We has some great play and I managed to retain my winning ways during that whole time and was relieved when I finally got matched up with a less experienced player as a partner and lost to two A players. It was a good workout to say the least. I made a quick stop at the library for a couple new reads then headed home. I wanted to finish the second coat of paint on master bedroom before the lunch crowd arrived at 12:30.
After a lunch of left over soup I set the outside door frame and put new weather stripping on it and puttied it in as the old was starting to dry rot after nearly 30 years. Afterwards I took the rest of the afternoon resting and read until suppertime. I started a new read titled Big Cherry Holler which is a sequel to Big Stone Gap. I love the way this author Trigiani tells a story about the every day common folks and their trials and experiences in a community with the characters that are so real to life. We spoke with our mountain mom Helen for a few while I grilled marinated chicken breasts for fajitas with sauteed' green peppers and onions from the garden as well as fresh tomatoes, cilantro and Thai basil all from the garden, Yeow fantastic eatin' and oh so good and healthy.
After the cleanup we settled into the FOX CABLE Channel and then watched a Trump rally in Kentucky. He is certainly attempting to do what he had promised on the campaign trail but is fighting with the corrupt elitist politicians on both sides of the aisle as well as the past crooked administrations of Obama and Hillary who have the mainstream media as sycophants. It's disgraceful that activist judges are doing their best to leave the nation vulnerable to radical Islamic terrorist who are entering the nation as refugees and immigrants without proper vetting just so they can oppose Trump. I certainly hope all of this corruption is brought to light for the American folks to see what has been done to this nation in the name of liberal secular progressive legislation and that Trump will drain the swamp completely. He is our last best hope with the help of GOD to turn this runaway train of destruction around, LATER
