Well Thursday was another beautiful day with nice temps and no humidity so the windows and doors were open after a somewhat chilly start in the upper 50's. It reached the low 80's by the afternoon. I had a busy day and finally got Nancy to make a decision on the vinyl flooring for the house which has helped to ease the tension regarding this make over or redo.
I started the day with an earlier than usual roll out somewhere around 5'ish. I did my customary routines that started with a cup of hot tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble. I then spent my quiet time giving thanks and lifting up those I know who are hurting or in need of some divine attention and our nation and new president and his administration. This last administration left so many land mines for President Trump with unauthorized funds going to the terrorist in Palestine and now the acceptance of illegal immigrants from Australia. It's no wonder the nation is in a fix with the inept leadership of the Obama white house for the past 8 years. Trump is moving quickly as promised and I see hope for the nation to once again be a beacon for those who seek a better life through hard work and justice for all. He has put the terrorist state of Iran on notice as well with their violations in missile testing, finally a Potus who stands up to these terrorists.
I headed out on my bike around 8 for a good work out on the pickle ball court for close to two hours. We had some new very good players which gave me a wet shirt by the time I left close to 10. I hand watered the garden and pulled weeds then transplanted the recently rooted Thai basil into small containers. This is the best basil ever for flavor. I noticed the squirrels have been eating from the tomato plants again with a couple half eaten green tomatoes scattered in the yard. I went to war on them with the BB gun. Unfortunately I only stung one who scampered off.
I cut a huge cabbage and Nancy and her mom, GG made stuffed cabbages with a red sauce for our supper over smashed taters, yeow was that ever delicious. Bobby, Amy and Eliza along with GG came for lunch. Bobby is working over on this side of the bay as he remodels houses for a company that buys houses sight unseen then he gets crews to do the remodeling. He is doing several in our area so we get to see for lunch a couple times a week. It's hard to believe he turns 36 today, so we ask ourselves where did that time go. We are planning a birthday celebration with a family dinner at his place next weekend with some smoked brisket.
I stopped of at Home Depot and returned some electrical outlets that were the wrong type and then picked up the right ones and Nancy decided to go with a flooring they distribute called Sawcut Dakota by Allure. I really like it and its a floating floor that clips together so it shouldn't be to difficult to install. I'm using one of Bobby's flooring contractors to install it. This will save me a couple thousand from the estimate from Flooring America. Every little bit helps in this redo that has now moved from the kitchen into the rest of the house, oh well. Today we are scheduled to have the granite countertops installed and then we will order the flooring on Monday. I want to give the cabinets one more coat of paint using a sponge roller to ease out any lines which are few and not noticeable.
After supper and the cleanup we settled into the Fox Cable News and the riots in California are unbelievable with the destruction at Berkley College in protest of free speech. What has led these millennials and liberals in an attempt thwart the first amendment to the constitution. These rioters should be prosecuted and jailed as they have become dangerous to our liberty and freedom while using the excuse to disavow the election of Trump, LATER
