Well Friday was basically another work day except for the early morning hours when I headed to the Rec for and hour and half of pickle ball. It had been three days since I last played and it felt great to be back on the court. I did some yard work after the Rec. while Nancy was at her Friday Bible Study group then Amy and all three grand kiddos came for lunch and stayed most of the afternoon. The neighbor boy Phonix who is Ava's age came over and played with the kiddos outside.
The morning started with an early rollout around 5'ish as I was wide awake from Nancy's snoring and the anticipation of heading to the Rec. and all of the work I had planned for the day. I of course hit the sack around 10'ish so I'm getting plenty of rest for the night. I did my usual morning routines of a hot cup of tea laced with turmeric. It was rather chilly to start the morning with lows down into the 50's and it didn't get much over 65 for the day. The chilly breeze made it great for working outside despite the bright sunshine and blue skies.
I mulched up 7 large black bags of oak leaves from my neighbors yard and spread them in the garden for the earthworms to digest and make me new soil. That is the best fertilizer ever and I have an abundance of the leaves in the hood plus my own two oak trees. I pulled my first egg plant and Nancy fried it up for lunch. Ava and Amy love it as well and it was very tasty. I of course added fresh cilantro, thyme and basil to mine as did Ava along with some ground red pepper. The flavor is awesome and that held me until suppertime.
I did manage to sand down the old base boards outside under the oak and give them a coat of primer. They are cut to fit around the bay window seat which took me forever to make the cuts and so I saved them and filled in the nail holes with putty. I want to refurbish all of the base moulding and give it a fresh coat of paint as well. I headed down to Home Depot and ordered another couple hundred square feet to accompany the hundred or so feet of leftover flooring to do the bedrooms and closets. I now wish I had planned to do the whole house as we love the flooring and it has a lifetime warranty. It's very thick and made of tough vinyl and is clipped together with and 1/8 underlayment which makes for nice walking on.
Well we had visitors a couple of times during the evening to view the kitchen and flooring. We are awaiting the delivery of our new fridge as we have the old one in the garage. It makes for a little extra walking to retrieve anything cold but we are adjusting. Hopefully the new one arrives the first of the week along with the re-order on the flooring. Well after a supper of Brussel sprouts and rotisserie chicken from Sam's Club we settled into the Fox Cable News and see where Trump is giving the liberals and the biased media a fit. Never before have anyone defied them and they are besides themselves. It's about time to call them out for their biased reporting as they were the ones who gave Obama a free ride with out proper vetting about who he was and where did he come from and his associates. We now see that Obama is doing all that he can to destroy the Trump agendas in a nefarious behind the scene actions with his cronies in the the government. It's a disgrace and I think borders on treasonous actions.
This morning we are heading over to Brandon to watch grandson Gabe play ball. He has two games a week and it seems the Saturday morning games will be the easiest to attend then we will meet up with the Kool Peoples Club members for dinner at Bahama Breeze in Tampa. The Tracy's have closed on their house in Dade City and will soon be moving there which is about an hours drive or so depending on the time of the day with traffic north of Tampa, LATER
