Well Friday started out in the high 30's and nearly reached the 70 mark by late afternoon but the frost was everywhere as I rode out to the Rec around 8. It was another cold ride with watery eyes when I finally got into the gym, yikes this is not usual for here in the winter, oh well. Today Saturday its supposed to reach into the 70's and stay that way for the next several days.
I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish roll out to a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric after my handful of Nutrilite Vitamins. I spent some quiet moments with my Creator in thanksgiving after posting this ramble. The updates are all good as the cold temps are finally letting up but D.C. is in a quagmire as the obstructionist democrats have failed to cross over the line and assist the republicans in keeping the government funded. Such childish behavior and really their only idea is to destroy this Potus at the expense of our security. It makes no sense but I'm sure they will suffer at the polls next year for their failure to put the nation first.
I got in two hours of pickle ball play before stopping off at the library and picking up a new read titled DODGE CITY by Tom Glavin. It's a great read and based on true facts about Bat Materson and Wyatt Earp in the wild west days and the settling of the midwest. Lots of action, gun fights, cattle drive cowboys and the taming of the those rogues. I came back and uncovered all of my plants and then hand watered. I may lose the bush beans completely but that is about all. Some of the leaves on the tomato plants are dead and burned but I think they will come back. I headed to Home Depot after a lunch of tortilla soup to pick up some potting soil and organic Milorganite to use as fertilizer, then headed over to Amy's to get my ladder.
Amy had brought the grand kiddos by for lunch as they only had a half day so we all had soup except Ava who had taken lunch to school. Eliza wanted to ride her bike on our sidewalks and she is so excited she is able to master keeping the bike moving and on the sidewalk. She had difficulty at first with mastering both functions of steering and pedaling but now is doing it with precision. She hasn't learned to turn the bike yet while riding but she will soon master that function as well with the training wheels on.
I read most of the afternoon after the kiddos left for home and then Nancy made a delicious egg plant parmesan for our supper, yeow this has just become one of our favorites after passing on it over the years. A brat or Italian sausage goes great with the dish. After the cleanup we settled into the Fox News channel and the dem's are determined to undermine our Potus with their display of no cooperation to fund the gov't; they want to fund the illegals over the nations security and child health bill. I certainly hope the real Americans remember this next Nov. when many are up for reelection, LATER
Today at midnight the BOGO for ALL Nutrilite products expires..I can't say enough about these vitamins and supplements as they are the finest manufactured from our own organic farms in Michigan. They are a little pricey but are bogo and nothing in them is created in a lab or comes from another country. Check out our store on line at www.amway.com/JNTriplett. This bogo special comes from me and our team leaders and not from Amway itself. Our team leader purchases the bogo and then sends them to you free of charge at the end of the month; so take advantage of this offer because not only are the products first rate but the savings is great as well. We all should be taking a good vitamin because the foods now are not what they use to be as the soils are becoming depleted of nutrients by artificial fertilizers used today along with GMO seeds. What was used years ago was natural fertilizers and crop rotations.
