Well time is just moving by so fast with Christmas here in less than a week and the New Year in two weeks. One would never know if from the weather as we have the a/c back on with temps near the record level and the humidity is high. Yesterday morning the fog was so thick even the birds were roosting and no where to be found. By the time I left the Rec. around 10'ish it had cleared off and the sun was hot.
I started the day much the usual with a before 6'ish roll out to a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble and then spent some quiet time with my Creator in thanksgiving and lifting up several by name for comfort and healing. Many of those are on the road to recovery so who know but only GOD if those prayers for others worked. We have lost a few friends this past year and some continue to hurt in various ways but I truly believe prayer makes a difference. The update on GG is some what promising as Nancy spoke with her during the day. She is settling in at Eric's place in Michigan. I haven't heard any more updates on Joe and Paw Paw since the last news which was good.
I got in two hours of pickle ball at the Rec. and we had a couple new players one which will fit right in with our group of A players. He is a retired dentist from Maryland and knows much about my home town of Winchester quite well. He usually plays outside but decided to try the inside game and he did quite well. There was another new couple and she has great potential and moves quite well who lives in the area as well. I left with a wet shirt around 10'ish and headed home to piddle around in the garden. Amy and Tyler were both at the house so I knew something had gone wrong at their house. The power company turned their power off to the trim trees, so since Tyler works from home he needed the internet. They stayed most of the day and left close to 4'ish.
Ava was singing and performing in her school play at 7 so we ate a quick supper with me using my new grill on a couple of burgers and had a fresh garden salad. I harvested and cleaned three types of lettuces, kale, beet greens and some Swiss chard. I cleaned them all and then used the salad spinner to drain the excess water and broke them all up into a huge bowl for Nancy to add onions, carrots, red cabbage, cucumbers and tomato's. The garden is loving these cool nights and warm days. I finally have half runner beans up which will climb the chain link fence as well as sugar peas on the other fence. They both are climbers and it helps with me in the harvesting process.
Ava was magnificent in her play and she was the best in her part with clarity of speech. While her part was small she has a great speaking voice and out shined her classmates in voice inflexion. She is a natural in front of a crowd both Sunday night in her church play and then again last night at school.
Well that was about it for the day except some interesting decisions with our internet provider who wants to raise my bill up again. Spectrum is going to lose me as a customer as they want nearly 175 bucks a month for my business. There is a company called WOW which will provide the same service for half that amount and I'm changing to them in the new year. I will lose the phone service but since we have the cell phone who needs a house phone, LATER
