Well Tuesday turned out to be a gorgeous day with temps in the low 70's but the sun was shining brightly with deep blue skies, ahh- typical weather for a winter day in the sunshine state but that's supposed to change a little in the coming days as another cold font pushes through the area. We are thrilled to see where the mountains are finally getting some relief from the bitter cold and freezing temps.
I started the day some what startled to see the clock by the bed flashing which only happens when we lose power during the night. I did hear rain dripping from the big oak so I knew sometime during the night the power went off. The flashing time was off by nearly and hour so by the time I checked the battery clock in the front room it was going on 7 which meant I was an hour behind my usual roll out to start the day. Well I just abbreviated my routines as I wanted to be at the Rec. by 8 as you can probably tell by the shortened post, anyhow all is well. I didn't have to hand water the garden as we received nearly an inch of rain and the plants look as if they will recover from the cold except for the cucumber plant.
I did my routines with a half cup of hot tea while I spent a couple of quiet minutes with my Creator and posted this ramble. The update on GG wasn't as good as yesterday as she was having some difficulty with her speech and forming sentences. I spoke with Paw Paw in the afternoon and he sounded good and was doing alright despite the cold and snow. They too were in for some warmer temps at least above the freezing level. I headed out after lunch to visit my financial advisor who has become like an old friend. I'm having to take a yearly withdrawal because of my age and he arranges that for me as well as looks after my affairs in the market.
Amy and Eliza came for lunch and is she ever a child with an imagination as she loves to play doll house with both Amy and grandma. She is going to be either an actress or a dancer as she loves to be the center of attention. She is so cute and so smart and with such good manners, but she can throw a fit at times in an instant. Amy is tough on her when she does this which is a good thing. She will be 4 on Saturday and we are planning a huge celebration with family as Bobby will bring his kiddos over to the party. That was about it for the day as we cleaned up some frozen smoked pork butt we brought back from the cabin for supper along with some fresh broccoli and cauliflower. I tuned in to Fox News until the Lightning hockey game came on around 7:30 then headed into the bed room after a shower to watch the first two periods which was tied at 3 each. By 10'ish I was ready for some horizontal lab as the two hours of pickle ball play in the morning had me worn out, LATER
