Saturday Morning

Well Friday was a busy day that started with a 6 ish roll out and my usual cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric after a handful of Nutrilite Vitamins. It was a bit nippy to start the day but warmed up close to 70's by the afternoon so we had the windows and doors open for fresh air. We had Amy and Eliza for lunch and then Dan and Carol for supper.

I headed out to the Rec. on my bike a little before 8 and got in two solid hours of pickle ball with 4 other really good players. I left with a wet shirt at 10 ish then headed home. It had warmed up 10-15  degrees since early morning and the sun was shining brightly. There was a stiff breeze most all day long which made for great clothes drying outside on the line. I hung two loads then worked in the garden hoeing, chopping weeds and transplanting more lettuce seedlings.

Nancy fried up two fresh black beauty egg plants for lunch and I harvested lots of fresh herbs to adorn them. Cilantro, oregano, parsley and some Thai basil, yeow did these ever compliment the egg plant and all from my garden. Even little Eliza loves this dish. We cleaned the platter. I settled into some reading and a nap latter as Eliza rode her bike up and down the sidewalk. It seems Dan and Carol are going refinish a coffee table for us they purchased second hand to match the decor with the new living room furniture for Nancy. I now need to repaint the dining room to match as well.

We had them down for drinks before a supper of chicken in a fresh mushroom sauce, fresh broccoli and salad from the garden along with spaghetti squash all of which was awesome and low in carbs. We are all trying to limit our intake of the foods that stick to our spare tires, oh well. Carol and Dan have both dropped a few pounds as we have tried to do the same but we aren't as strict with our diet as they are, anyhow after supper and the cleanup we got into 12 rounds of chicken foot domino's which took us up to 9'ish. After we said our good nights I hit the shower and was soon watching some Fox News when I must have fallen asleep a little after 10'ish. This morning Dan and I are helping an older feller from church move to a new dwelling and then we will probably eat out this evening, LATER
