Well Tuesday was a funday as we traveled to Sparta so Nancy could get a hair cut then lunch out with the Tracy's at JB'S pizza place. The girls did some shopping and Patrick and I ran over to the Wellness Center to check on my viability for Silver Sneakers from Blue Cross Blue Shield and his membership with the center. We then made a stop at Grant's Grocery to check on cash checking policy with an out of state bank. They were receptive there but with a daily limit on the amount over your purchase.
I started the day with a 6'ish rollout to a warm morning already in the upper 60's. It did get up to 80 and the humidity came back but we survived without having to turn on the a/c window unit. I did my routines that started with the hot cup of tea laced with turmeric and honey after my shot of apple cider vinegar used to wash down my handful of vitamins. I spent some quiet moments with my Creator in humble thanksgiving and intercessory prayers for several I know who are hurting with health issues, especially my mother in law, GG. She did have a better day yesterday and sounded good on the phone and is eating little better as well. She has an infection once again and it not able to do any PT which is a set back. On a sad note I lost another classmate and fellow football team member in Winchester and we saw where a friend of our from SFBC passed away overnight as a result of cancer. We have been praying for him for the past couple of weeks.
I hand watered the new beet transplants and some of them will make it as well as all the volunteer tomato transplants. I have no idea what type of tomato but they came up in the upper garden so I transplanted them in the raised beds. The runner beans are climbing the fence almost overnight and if they continue on this pace we will have fresh green beans in a couple of weeks as well as enough to give away. I can now harvest some of the lettuces that I sowed mountain style which is in a patch whereas in Florida I transplant them in to rows. I'm keeping the weeds out by hoeing and stirring the ground almost daily. We did get a quick down pour in the afternoon which gave everything a drink.
We had a superb pepperoni, onion and mushroom pizza and brought about a third of it home for lunch later in the week. We had some home grown tomato's as well as zucchini to use so Nancy made one of my fav's, zucchini pie for supper, yeow I love the flavor of these ingredients. After the clean up which I did as she cooked we took off on our daily hike to the top of the mountain. Most everyone is gone except for Shawnee who just arrived and with her mom visiting on their front porch. We headed on across to visit with Jetta for a few who was harvesting in her garden. She had a basket of beans, tomato's, onions and kale. Joe had started on enclosing his garage door by himself as Dean never came by when promised to help him, so I told him I would come by this morning to help him finish up the job as I have nothing planned for the day. It's supposed to rain today so we will be inside.
I tuned into the Ray's game on the internet and they finally won two in a row. I think they are probably out of contention to make the wild card spot for the playoffs as they are several games out of first place in our division. If you didn't see or hear the speech our president gave on Afghanistan its surely one of the best foreign policy speeches ever by a US President. Mr. Trump is right on with letting those in the field make decisions to wipe out the enemy and give full reign to these leaders in doing so. Maybe we will finally get the neighboring countries to do their part in ridding the terrorists by destroying their places of refuge in the neighboring countries. Trump also put North Korea on notice once again and China as well by economic sanctions, Great Job Mr. President, LATER
