Well Tuesday was a bit chilly as I rode out early in the morning on my bike but eventually it warmed up and into the 60's; today its supposed to reach the 70's, Ahh now this is more like Florida winters. I did some test paints for the dining room and we found one Nancy likes so I will give it a coat today after pickle ball.
I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out to a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble then spent a few quiet moments with my Creator in thanksgiving for another day and lifting several by name for comfort and healing. It was brought to my attention a fellow graduate of my old high school lost her daughter and grand daughter to murder out in the mid west. Such a sad occurrence as the baby was about a year and half in age. Our country has some terrible folks in it and the disregard for life is almost as bad as the terrorist who kill indiscriminately.
I got in two good hours of pickle ball at the Rec. with some really good play and was worn out by 10'ish. It had warmed up by the time I left on my bike for home. I changed out new fan blades in the kitchen and in the toy room then painted several areas in the dining room to give Nancy some ideas. I headed to Home Depot to get another paint sample which I didn't think would go well but she wanted it and she did decide it wasn't right for the room; so we are back to the original color I chose, oh well. I did stop off at my lady barbers shop for an ear lowering and her first grand baby was there, what a cutie she is at nearly a year old.
Amy and Eliza Faye came for lunch and then afterwards she rode her bike around the block with Nancy and Amy trailing. The little girl across the street, Scarlett came over to play with Eliza for a few after I got back from my errands.Nancy's sister Betsy came by around 5'ish for a visit so I loaded her up with some Swiss chard from the garden as well as some hot peppers. After she left I grilled salmon and we had steamed broccoli for our supper. We spoke with Helen briefly to check on how much snow as we saw pictures where parts of the mountains had several inches. She had just a small amount and much of that was wind snow but it was cold there once again. Oh how they are tired of winter.
After the clean up we settled into the Fox News and eagerly awaited the speech by Trump on the SOTU. Well I must say this businessman is very sincere in his concern for the nation and there is no doubt this was a Godsend when he was elected by us the deplorables. Those on the left showed just how biased and disconnected they are with the folks they were elected to represent by not clapping or standing for their president. I was embarrassed for the those on the left especially the black members as they sat like zombies in the chamber.
The speech was awesome with resolve to get the nation back on the right footing and address the most pressing of needs for this great nation. The need to strengthen our military and borders is a must as well as to address the opioid epidemic that is killing needlessly and then putting our education system back on track with offering schools for specific job needs. Trump was a master at being non political when remembering and identifying the great folks who made this nation an icon in the world especially with those who served so bravely. The need to deport the criminals and give those who are here illegally as no fault of their own a path to citizenship. I certainly hope the dem's will cross the aisle to help address these issues and make America great again and stow away their hatred for this man who is very Regan like in his thinking, LATER
