Well Thursday was another busy day that started with my usual before 6 roll out and then a couple hours of pickle ball, some gardening and then some paint touch up's to the kitchen cabinets as well as painted the window bench seat and hung some rugs out on the clothesline. Nancy is caught up with having the house just right for our Life Group on Saturday evening as 30 plus folks will be here at 5 to the start of a progressive dinner. We are doing the appetizer's before moving on to three other houses.
I did my quiet time and posted this ramble with my usual cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric. The updates are good on everyone as of today and the 12-14 inch snowfall is finally melting in Michigan. I spoke with GG while Nancy was out last evening purchasing just the right pictures to adorn the walls that match the new furniture. This woman is driving me crazy at times. Luckily neighbor Carol came down and helped us with their laser in setting the pictures on the walls in the right places, oh well. I will be glad when this redo is over and I can enjoy some tranquillity.
I had a great workout on the pickle ball court and was whupped by 10. It has really warmed up but the garden is loving these warm days and cool nights. Not really cool but in the high 60's at night. I harvested my first mess of sugar peas and they are so delicious raw on salads or just right off the vine. The new lettuce seedling will be ready in a couple of days as they are maturing quite fast. I now have blooms on the cherry tomato plant and the new jalapeno plant is budding as well with new blooms and soon to be peppers. The beets seeds are sprouting which is a good sign.
I grilled filets for supper along with fresh asparagus which was awesome. The filets are grain fed and at 5 bucks apiece for a 6 oz. steak its a real treat from Earth Fare, a new organic store in Seminole City Square. After the cleanup we hung pictures and paintings along with new lamps and finally she called Carol to help her with her decisions. I was staying out of the decision making; just doing the work and paying the bills. There are still some honey do's to do today after I get back from the Rec. but I think we have a handle on most of the projects. This group will be here for about 45-minutes to an hour and then we move on to a different house.
Well an old childhood friend messaged me who now lives on the east coast of Florida. His sister(Kit) and I were childhood buddies before I ever went to live with Paw Paw and I went to live with him when I was 5 or so. She and her family lived in the biggest house in Mt. Falls as her dad was a retired WWII colonel. Her brother(Sprout, as his folks called him is actually a Jr. ) is a couple years older than me and was very smart as was Kit his sister my pal. They both graduated with the highest grades ever in high school as well as in college. He mentioned he has some home movies his folks took of Kit and I when we were around the ages of 4 and 5 and would like to give me a copy. He went on to be awarded the Andrew Jackson presidential academic award while in high school.
Well I watched the Lightning beat the Red Wings and stayed away from the depressing school shootings. I feel the FBI let down those kids who were killed down by not doing their job when several folks mentioned to them he was a threat as a school shooter on social media. They were too involved in bringing down Trump and subverting the constitution and covering up for Obama and Hillary and the "deep state". I think they have blood on their hands for their ineptness and corruption with this fake dossier paid for by the democrats and Hillary. The biased MSM also has blood on them as well for not covering the scandal of the last administration and are complicit as well with the FBI and the DOJ for failing to do a proper investigation which eventually resulted in the death of these kids, LATER
