Well Friday was another warm day but not quite as humid as the day before with lots of sunshine and blue skies. I played pickle ball for two hours, worked in the garden and then headed over to GG's house where I cleaned out the gutters and the garage. I left before Nancy and Betsy who stayed and finished with getting the house ready to sell. We hooked up with the Botbyl's and the Tracy's for supper in Largo then came back and played Euchre.
The day started with me rolling out around 6'ish. I had my usual routines that started with a cup of hot tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble and spent some quiet time with my Creator in thanksgiving and lifting up several by name. The update with GG as Nancy spoke with her and Eric by phone are her breathing issues from fluid retention. She is back on oxygen as well as diuretics and another possible UTI. Seems this runs in cycles so there will be a couple days of setbacks despite the fact she got our of bed by herself and into the wheel chair which is a big plus. Sister Dee had a procedure on her hip which has been a pain in the rear(no pun intended) and that surgery went well as she is on the road to recovery. Everyone else is doing fine including Bobby with his sinus infections gone for now.
I had a great two hours of pickle ball at the Rec. with 5 other good players and left whupped with a wet shirt around 10'ish. I'll take the next two days off as the gym is being used this Saturday for basketball. I piddled around in the garden until it was time to head over to GG's and finish up some jobs too big for the girls. I was on the ladder and then in the garage with the blower cleaning it out. After bagging all of the debris and leaving it out for the trash I headed home to catch up on some of my chores. Afterwards I read for a couple hours until Nancy got home and then she was in the shower to get ready for an evening out with friends at the Bonefish Grille in Largo. I had my usual bowl of chowder with crab meat on top and an appetizer order of Bang Bang shrimp with an order of crusty bread, yeow very tasty and then we had several desserts shared by all. Dan Botbyl turned 63 today so it was a celebration for and about him.It was a good meal but a little pricey.
We came back to our humble abode and played Euchre and the gals won despite acting as if they don't understand the game at times. They played well enough to win two in a row. We sat around and talked for another hour watching some college football afterwards while Nancy looked at islands for the kitchen with the gals. All of a sudden she has decided she needs an island whereas we haven't had one for over twenty years. I finally relented and gave in so she is going to order it and then I will have to put it together. I'm against having one as everyone gathers in the kitchen no matter what the occasion so there goes our space; but against my better judgement and brow beating I gave in.
It was close to 10 when they all left as the Tracy's are spending the weekend with the Botbyl's. We are all getting together with our life group from BridgePoint this evening and the Tracy's are invited as well and will attend church with us on Sunday. I got ready and headed for some horizontal lab shortly afterwards, LATER
