Sunday and Monday Morning

Well Saturday was a fun filled day with mostly sunshine but much cooler temps as the front really set in. We were getting ready for the big birthday celebration for Bobby as Nancy had to schedule it early due to his and ours social calendars. She had been in the kitchen most all day making two batches of sauce for the lasagna as one had to be garlic free due to Tyler's allergy. We had our nephew and his family as well as aunt Betsy came by after work. the food was excellent with awesome appetizers, garden salad and of course garlic bread and the lasagna. Nancy had enough to give away, froze one pan for later and leftovers for a couple days. She has no concept on how much to prepare plus she gave Tyler his whole pan to take home which I could barely taste the difference, oh well.

Sunday morning found me up earlier than usual for the load in at the college for BridgePoint Church. It was raining when I headed out and its did not stop the whole day long which is very unusual for Florida and it was a cold rain that permeated to the bone. We still had a good turn out for both services despite the dreary conditions but the cold was unbelievable. It was going on 1'ish when we got home after serving the second service so we heated up some of the leftover lasagna and feasted big again. I had skipped breakfast except for my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric so I was hungry and that meal held me for the rest of the day.

We had the heat on all day long which is quite unusual and by bed time we put an extra blanket on the bed. I got a call from an old friend who now lives in the pan handle of Florida. He is now a grand dad for the first time with a little girl, named Magnolia Grace. They were hit really hard by the hurricane in Oct. and the area looks like it was carpet bombed. He had major damage to his roof which needs to be replaced as well sheds, etc but all survived. We chatted for nearly an hour remembering the old days while on patrol in Pinellas County. He is also retired from FHP.

Well I ordered a new 8x10 shed for the back yard as this old one was crushed in one corner by the same storm when a tree limb blew down across the fence. It was old to begin with and rusting out but it was a good one. This new one is made of steel reinforced hard plastic so no need to worry abut rust. It's supposed to be here the 15th of Feb. Well that was about it for Sunday as we hunkered down to the rain and cold damp temps, LATER
