Well Wednesday was a chilly day to start with temps in the 50's and then it warmed back up to the low 70's with bright sunshine and blue skies. I helped out neighbor Dan with moving some furniture for the non-profit he and Carol work for from Largo out to the beaches. We then entertained Mark and Toni our friends whose mother lived across the street for supper and then it was games until 9'ish. I never sat down for the day and missed my after lunch nap and reading time.
I started the day much the usual with a before 6 ish roll out that started with a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble then some quiet time with my Creator in thanksgiving and lifting up several by name. All is well as we've heard nothing to the contrary. I got ready and headed out to the Rec. before 8 on my bike. It was a nippy ride but warmed considerably by the time I left around 10. We had a challenge court today with 5-6 good players and we plumb wore ourselves out. I managed to stay on the court for nearly and hour and half before getting booted after my first team loss. I was whipped by 10 and then headed out to Largo to help load two truck loads of furniture being donated to ETC(empower to change).
I got back to the house around noon and had lunch with Amy and Eliza Faye. She wanted to ride her bike afterwards so I followed her up the sidewalk several times as she pedaled really well. She still has to master the turning but is doing much better. She is just so cute and doesn't forget a thing. I heard her say to Amy which I had never heard before when Amy told her to do something and Eliza said "I was just fooling you, mom". I nearly cracked up and I wondered where she heard that from, oh well. After they headed out I checked in with city hall about getting a permit to take out the big oak that was dying and they said I had to have an arborist verify the tree was dying before they would give me a permit, oh well.
I helped Nancy with getting the house in order by vacuuming and then harvested lettuces and cleaned that for a salad for supper along with some vegan burgers Toni brought. She wanted us to try them and while they weren't beef burgers they were OK when doctored up with some mustard. The patty's were black beans with chopped onions and corn with cheese on top baked in the oven along with sweet tater fries. I harvested a nice mess of Swiss chard which they both loved and ate only for the second time here. He is a little picky but he mentioned he wanted to grow this veggie next summer in Michigan. We had a glass of vino while waiting on the burgers to bake.
After the cleanup we settled into a 24 round game of OH -ell which everyone seemed to enjoy and then we played 9 rounds of Golf another card game. I was the big winner tonight in both games. We listened to some great music while playing and then around 9'ish they headed out to the condo they are renting on the beach. We made plans to cook out once more before they head back to Michigan sometime the end of February. It wasn't long after they left I was in the shower and then some Hannity on the Fox News channel before lights out around 10'ish and some horizontal lab, LATER
