Thursday Morning

Well Wednesday found us with another summer day for Florida with high heat and humidity but by the evening the sea breeze cooled things down to where it was quite nice outside. I workout on the pickle ball in the morning then did a few garden chores and after lunch read for most of the afternoon while I baby sat Eliza Faye so the girls could shop for new lamps.

The day started with me rolling out a little before 6 and I had pushed one of my ear plugs in so deep that Nancy had to pick it out with a tooth pick. Needless to say I disposed of that one for some newer ones as I've never had that happen before which made for a moment of panic with my head feeling as if I was in an altitude chamber. I did my morning routines that started with a cup of hot green tea laced with ground turmeric while I posted this ramble and then spent a few quiet moments with my Creator in thanksgiving for another day and then lifting up those by name I know and love and those who are hurting. I got word that Paw Paw was taken to the ER again as his blood pressure dropped while at the VA with a doctor. Hopefully he will regain some strength and have some quality of life in these his advanced years.

I headed out around 8 on my bike for a good hour plus workout on the pickle ball court and left with a wet shirt. I piddled around in the gardens hand watering and picked Amy a nice mess of kale for her Zuppa Soup she was making for their supper. Amy, GG and Eliza all came for lunch and afterwards they all took off to the mall. Eliza fell asleep on the floor watching a show so I sat and read a true murder story that took place in Panama with young Americans from N.C. The culprit and his wife murdered 5 fellow ex-pats and buried them in the jungle and took over their properties. They were eventually captured and both were arrested after they had fled into the interior. There were some big name folks in this story titled THE JOLLY ROGER SOCIAL CLUB.

We took GG  home then stopped at Home Depot for paint as Nancy now wants to change the color of the living room walls to match the floors. I'm hoping this will stop soon as she has new curtains as well for our bedroom, new lamps and comforter for the bed. We did find some P. Buckley Moss framed prints which we paid dearly for years ago in one of the closets and we hung them in our bedroom which made a nice addition as there was some blue in the print that matched the new pillow for the bed. Well I will paint the walls today(Thur.) while the floor installers are here as well as the new fridge is supposed to be delivered. This should be a busy day as I did very little on Wed. I did grill chicken breasts and we had them for our supper along with a fresh garden salad. The neighbors from across the street came by to see the results so far as they leave to go back to Michigan after being here since Christmas. It will be in the 30's when they get home, oh well. I could use a few cooler days and now I'm longing for the cabin and the cool mornings.

We settled into the Fox News channel after the cleanup and see where president Trump made a great impression on most of American with the new polling except for those who will never support him or the country. These are sycophants of the secular progressive left, democrats, millennials and illegals who are sucking off of the federal government handouts which just happens to be our tax money, LATER
