Friday Morning

Well Thursday was another hot muggy day with no rain in sight. The evening breeze kept it pleasant near sun down. We attended Ava's piano recital at Keswick in the evening and she did a magnificent job along with 30 or so other pianist who preformed.

I started the day out alone once again as Nancy spent the night at GG's. Hopefully that will cease now that all of her tests have come back normal and we think the reason she passed out was either getting up to quickly or because of dehydration which can cause a brief black out. She is still somewhat anxious about us leaving for the summer but already has a flight to Miami and then will drive with Arianne to Michigan for a couple of months. We took her with us to the concert and will take her to her many appointments this coming week.

I had my neighbor and good friend Dan join me at the Rec. for some pickle ball and he really enjoyed the game and got in a good workout Hopefully he will continue with the play. He for only the second time playing did quite well. I did my usual morning routines after rolling out at my usual 6'ish time. I did my quiet time and posted this ramble while having my morning cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric. Afterwards I got ready to head out for my workout when Nancy came home early as she has a hair dressers appointment. After pickle ball I piddled around in the garden and yard clipping some over grown shrubs and then I harvested three egg plants for our lunch.

I made a guacamole and then Nancy fried up the egg plant for lunch along with GG, Amy and Eliza Faye. The fried egg plant was awesome and I added some herbs and hot peppers to the top of mine along with some guacamole, delicious and filing. After lunch I retired to the reading room until it was time to grill some salmon filets for our supper. We picked up GG around 6:30 and headed to the school where we saw lots of our Bridgepoint friends who have their kids enrolled there. It was a fun time to see these youngsters preform and especially our Ava. Well after taking GG home Nancy decided she would spend the night in our bed as she insisted she would be alright being alone. She seems much more relaxed now that all of her tests were normal as her doctor informed her.

Well the Ray's lost again in an afternoon game and now go on the road for several games and we too will head out for New Orleans in less than two weeks and then to the cabin a day or so after we get back, LATER Here are a few pics from Ava's recital.
