Well it turned winter once again which is quite unusual for this time of the year. This AM(thur.)it's 43 degrees outside which is almost our coldest morning of the year, oh well. The wind was very strong during the day which made it feel even colder than the 50's which was the high for the day. They were calling for a freeze just north of the Bay Area.
I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish roll out to my morning routines that started with a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble and then then spent some quiet time in prayer and thanksgiving for those I know and love. I headed out for the Rec. around 8 on my bike for a work out on the pickle ball court with a full house. We had three courts in action and when I left around 9:30 I was whupped with a wet shirt.
Nancy was taking her mom to a doctors appointment then out to lunch and some shopping so I had the house to myself. I wanted to give the bedroom doors a final coat of paint since no one was coming for lunch except Bobby dropped by unexpectedly as he was checking on a couple houses in our area. We had a nice few moments together but he is one busy person with this job as estimator for redo's on houses. After he left I finished up the paint job then settled into the Killing the Rising Sun. This is a must read read and probably no one knows of the vicious killings that were done to the captives by the Japanese unless you read the book Unbroken. Truman was correct in unleashing the Atomic Bombs on this island nation two cities which finally caused them to surrender and end WWII.
Nancy got back and made a huge pot of vegetable beef soup using fresh green beans, carrots, kale, parsley and tomato's from the garden along with lots of other fresh veggies. The soup was awesome and great for a cool evening. We had the Ross Family along with GG and we nearly finished this huge pot which was superb in flavor. After they left somewhere around 8'ish we settled in to the O'Reilley program and then watched president Trump at a rally in Tennessee where once again he reiterated much of what he said on the campaign trail and the crowd was cheering strongly for him and his message. I too think he is our last best hope to right this country and get us back on the nation we once were as a beacon in the world with our constitution that guarantees our freedoms and liberties and a government of and for the people, LATER
