Wednesday Morning

Well Tuesday was a definite change in the weather pattern as we had great temps with little humidity and a breeze form the east. There is no comparison to the winter storm that has hit the northeast although I don't think it's as terrible as the weather folks forecast. I headed out to the Rec. for pickle ball and good wet shirt before heading home on my bike. Yesterday was the first day in awhile I didn't have to hand water the gardens as we had a deluge of rain the night before.

I started the day much the usual with a before 6 ish roll out to temps which had dropped to the high 50's over night. I had my morning cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble then spent a few quiet moments in prayer and thanksgiving with my Creator as well as lifted up several by name for healing and comfort. I did speak with Paw Paw before supper and he sounded good and we chatted about his up and coming hip replacement in April. He is looking forward to us coming up and visiting and being there when this procedure happens. He said he's eating well and resting and getting about somewhat on his own but needs assistance whenever he walks without the wheelchair.

I picked up GG and brought her for lunch along with Amy and the three kiddos who are off on spring break. I finished gluing the quarter round in the bathrooms and worked out a method to adhere the dishwasher to the granite countertop as it had been screwed into the bottom laminate to keep it from falling forward when the bottom tray was pulled out. I used some Fuze which is a liquid nails to hold a piece of wood against the granite then set a couple of small screws into the wood. So far that seems to be working or the other method would be to drill into the granite with a diamond bit and then set a screw, oh well. I'm just about complete the redo except to repaint the master bedroom and I want to repaint the doors into a couple of the rooms giving them a good coat of primer before painting.

Well I managed to get in some reading time before supper and the Killing of the Rising Sun is a fantastic read and should be mandatory for all students of history especially the millennials who seem to have a different philosophy for success with their privileged attitudes that everything should be given them without any hard work or effort. We have created a class of "snowflakes" dependent on the government thus a socialist inspired lifestyle who are unable to accept reality as has been seen in their recent protests and riots of the election of Trump. They are a disgrace to those who have sacrificed, died and honored our traditions of God, family and liberty. They are even now protesting the freedom to voice any opposition to their opinions; of course they have such limited role models with the likes of the Hollywood crowd and the dem's in congress who have no backbone or love to see the nation be great. It's such a shame that we finally have a leader who loves the country and wants jobs, respect from our adversaries, the ghettos an intercity crime stopped and the drug traffic destroyed and everyone given the chance for an education so they can succeed. What's not to like about this new Potus and his ideas to make us Great Again. In all honesty Trump is much like a stern parent and these "snowflakes" are so use to getting their way they can't handle it.

Well Nancy cooked up some 1/2 runner beans, taters and ham in a broth much like a soup which was delicious on this cool evening for supper along with a fresh garden salad. After the clean up we settled into the FOX Cable News until the Lightning game came on so I hit the shower and then watched the game until overtime which was around 10'ish. I'm not sure who won but the Lightning have been rallying for a chance to make the playoffs with lots of unknown players who are rookies, LATER
