Tuesday Morning

Well I'm back on the internet which is almost like losing your where with all. It sure is strange we have become so dependent on being able to connect with the world instantly especially the first thing each day with posting this ramble. Since I could not get on the web I sat and read until it was time to get ready and head out to the rec. for some pickle ball.

I had a good workout on the courts then stopped off at the library was a couple new reads and one by Grisham which I have just about finished during the day and its titled WHISTLER. Wow what a good read and since it rained all afternoon thats just what I did. Its a must read especially for those who enjoy good investigative action. I called WOW and they said a tech would come by some time during the day to check out the problem and they did around 11 and was here for over an hour and did change out the modem and it corrected the problem but then it went down again so I'm on their wifi instead of my router which is fine with me but there is still an issue which the tech could not decide what the problem was so he said his boss was going to come by and check out the issue.

Amy and Eliza came for lunch and it poured rained off an on through out the afternoon and really down poured as she left to pick up Ava and Sam at school. We got ready as we were invited out to supper with another couple from BridgePoint along with the Botbyl's. I picked them up in the pouring rain a little before 6. We brought salsa and guacamole and Carol brought a delicious frozen strawberry pie. We sat in the Hurley's inter coastal side home watching the dolphins feed in the water while enjoying an adult beverage(some of us did) until it was time to chow down. Brenda had made pulled pork, baked beans, Cole slaw and pasta salad all very delicious. After eating we played chicken foot domino's as they had never played it before. We were there until nearly 9:30 and left in another down pour. We are sure getting our share of rain after being dry for such a long time.

The garden is loving these wet cool days with periods of bright sunshine. I noticed I have beets up from seeds in just 4 days and I will eventually take them with me to the cabin for the summer garden. I'm thinking of starting some Swiss chard and kale in the next day or so. The tomato's are coming so quickly and with so many. I picked a dozen yesterday and gave away 2 to 3 dozen over the weekend plus the one cherry tomato plant is producing out of control. My neighbors love them and so I give all of them away.

The Lightning were losing in the 6th game in Washington when I shut the TV off around 10:30 and now they will come back to Tampa to play the final game to see who goes to the finals in the Stanley Cup, Oh well, LATER
