Well Wednesday was a day of gastronomic delights as we had an old favorite bacon, egg and onion sandwiches loaded with my fresh garden tomatoes and then again for supper we dined on smoked beer in the rear chicken with all the fixins' at the Cool People Club get together at the Botbyl's house.
Th day started much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my proverbial cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I composed and wrote about the day before's activities as well as spent some quiet time with my Creator in lifting several up by name for comfort and healing in this their time of need. Some I lift up everyday as their ages needs some daily reminders to Him. Everything is well as I haven't heard anything different from Paw Paw and GG is doing O.K. Helen is finally getting outside after this cold snowy winter and doing her thing which is riding her tractor and golf cart. The weather is perfect there in the mountains and I'm yearning to breathe that air that's never been breathed before as well as smell the good earth when tuned over from its winters rest and sow my vegetable and flower gardens. Pictures show the grass is green and I'm sure ready to bale for hay in my yard, oh well. I so look forward to playing farmer when I get there and get out of this afternoon heat.
I did my two hours on the pickle ball court at the rec. then took my bike the kids bought me a couple years ago to shop as the bearings in the hub were shot. A bike place said they could repair for a nominal fee so I left it then made a stop at the Keswick thrift store to drop off some items for resale. Amy and Eliza came for a delicious lunch of one of GG's famous dishes. It was so good with fresh sweet onion and a sliced ripe 'mater. Wow. We thought of her and how she was doing as she prepared this meal several times over the years. I think this was the first time we ever prepared it since she took ill over a year ago. She is back to reading which is a good sign as she was a prolific reader at one time.
I piddled around in the yards and gardens hand watering and pulling some weeds. I have several small black beauty egg plants setting on both of the two plants which are now 3 feet or more in height. The cantaloupes are blooming on two volunteer plants and I'm curious to see if they will set fruit as is a volunteer I think cucumber plant. The 'mater plants are producing and so far the fruit flies have stayed away from the Sevin dust which has made a big difference in the harvest. I'm steadily giving away to neighbors and friends.
The supper at the Botbyl's was awesome as Dan smoked two whole chickens and the 6 of us destroyed them with just enough leftover for a sandwich or two. We also had green beans and corn on the cob as well as a garden salad Nancy put together and then her coconut cake from scratch was a winner also. We headed out after the boys won in Sequence 2 out of 3 games, a game of Euchre and a round of OH -ell. It was an all boys night for a change' of course the girls accused us cheating even when we lose. They sound like democrat liberals.
We tuned into the Ray's game and it was a big loss to the Braves for the second night in a row, oh well. The Lightning play on Friday night so hopefully we will have something to cheer about, LATER
