Friday Morning

Well Thursday was another cold and windy day that started out in the 30's but eventually warmed to the middle 50's. The wind still made it feel even colder but the sun was shining brightly which helped. I had to cover my plants again last night but we are looking at a warm up this weekend back to the low 70's by Monday for a high, perfect.

I did my morning routines that started before 6'ish with a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric after a handful of Nutrilite vitamins and supplements. I posted this ramble then spent some quiet time with my Creator in thanksgiving and lifting up several by name. The update on GG and Joe are better. Nancy spoke with her mom and its bitter cold there and there are some modifications to Eric's place to better accommodate GG in the wheel chair upstairs and away from the other patients in the basement area. I spoke with Joe(Helen's brother) and he sounded like his old self on the phone. I haven't been able to speak to Paw Paw in a couple days but no news is good news. I know it very cold up there and they did have some snow on the ground, don't know if its from the blizzard that has hit the northeast, unbelievable weather from those naysayers on global warming.

I got in nearly two hours of pickle ball at the Rec. after a frosty ride there on my bike. I bundled up but the exercise felt good despite the watery eyes from the cold. We had a huge turnout and some of us A players managed one court for nearly an hour until there was too many waiting to play so we let the B's and C's mix in with us.. I still worked up a sweat and then headed into the weight room for 15 minutes on the elliptical which finished off the exercise for the day, yeow what a workout that was at nearly a mile. I made a stop at the library for a couple of new reads then headed home to hand water the garden after removing the blankets from the plants. I let them soak up the sun until around 4'ish when the temps began to drop again and covered them for the night.

Nancy had a huge pot of vegetable beef soup cooking using my first batch of green beans of which there were a couple handfuls along with some kale and parsley all from the garden. The soup was perfect on this rather chilly evening along with some buttered saltines. They go hand in hand like peanut butter and jelly. Anyhow after a couple of bowls which warmed and filled the gullet I washed up the dishes and the pot then headed in to watch the Fox News and learned there is more uncovering of the crooked and corrupt last administration dealing with the Russians. This is where the Mueller investigation should go and now a former advisor of Trump has written a rather salacious book about the Trump and the white house after Trump fired him. When will those who want to bring down the POTUS ever get tired of being in the headlines on the fake news channels.

Well I flipped back and forth between the Lightning game and Fox only to watch them lose after overtime in a shoot out by a goal. They are still in the lead in the division but that was a tough loss in Montreal. Nancy put the flannel sheets on the bed and oh such warm and fuzzy comfort, LATER
