Friday Morning

Well Thursday was a more relaxing day after a great almost two hour workout on the pickle ball court. I did a few little piddling jobs then read for most of the day as Nancy was gone when I got home from the Rec. driving GG around to appointments and than shopping. They eventually got back around noon and then Amy and the three kiddos came for lunch. I did hang out a couple loads of laundry as it was a perfect day for drying clothes outside. It was rather chilly to start the day and in the shade it stayed that way all day long. If you could find a spot out of the wind and in the sun it was quite comfortable. It's supposed to start warming up to the 70's by the week end.

I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish roll out to a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I did my morning routines which included posting this ramble then a few quiet moments with my Creator. Afterwards I got ready for a cold ride out to the rec. on my bike. Tears were streaming down my face from the cold wind which I thought was gone until next Fall; but I was fooled on this date in March when we usually have the a/c running. The wind really made it feel even colder but nothing like the mountains are experiencing. I sure hope it warms up some before we attempt to open the cabin up in a couple of weeks for an overnight stay on our way up to see Paw Paw before his surgery and then again on the way back to Florida.

We had a full house at the rec. and one court was kept open for the advanced players which kept me on the court for nearly the whole time and I left with a wet head and wet shirt, wow what a workout. It's taken me a couple of good workouts to get back my stamina back after being off for nearly a week due to the rec. being closed. We had some great rallies with some really good players all of which but one player much younger than me. I did some reading after lunch and relaxed as the warm soup left me drowsy. The kiddos where outside running around with the neighbor boy as they played a tag game. Even little Eliza Faye was right in there playing as well and the screams of the kids was a joy to my ears. Nancy took her mom home and Amy left so it was quiet once more and I headed out to hand water the garden. I needed a jacket in the shade of the big oak as the north wind was still quite strong.

Well Nancy made pot of Zuppa soup for supper which was delicious. My kale is so plentiful this year and we loaded the pot with lots of it. All of the kiddos love this soup and they along with GG will be here again today(Fri.) for lunch. We pick up Nancy's cousin Chris and husband Bill at the airport this evening then will eat out at our Asian eatery as they are down from Pennsylvania for a couple of weeks. Hopefully they can get a flight out as more snow is predicted for their area. They were right in the middle of that last storm. Well after the cleanup we settled into the Fox news and then I headed to the bedroom to watch the Lightning lose big time to the Toronto team in hockey. It was a blow out when I turned the lights out at 10, LATER
