Well Monday was another beautiful day with bright sunshine and after a cool start the temps reached the upper 70's. Just absolutely a gorgeous day. I played some pickle ball, did some gardening and read before we walked up the street to meet with the Tracy's at the Botbyl's for a delicious low or no carb supper with a grilled turkey burgers, salad from the garden and a veggie tray with home made dressings and NO dessert. That is our new mantra for this group as we lessen our use of alcohol(vino), low carbs and no sugary treats.
I started the day with my usual roll out around 6 to a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric and fresh ginger root while I posted this ramble then lifted up several by name while I gave thanks for another day and all of my blessings. All seem well except for friend Eddie who is still in the hospital in N.C. and the fact he is a paraplegic. I'm surprised he has made it this far after the accident that left him with a broken back and neck and confined to a wheel chair for the rest of his life. He needs prayers and a miracle so if you find a moment lift up him and Kimberly for comfort and healing.
I had a good workout on the court then stopped at the library for a new read in another new trilogy by Dennis Lehane who was recommended by son Bobby. I started it and already know its going to be an author I will read all of his writings which are quite a few. I headed over to Amy and Tyler's to pick up the ladder and give them some fresh harvested lettuces as well as a couple tomato plants that I didn't have room for in my garden. I have 12 or 13 of them and one has 5 tomatoes set already. I also gave Dan another three for his garden box All of these I started from seeds but one which I bought. The garden is doing great with these cool nights and warm day but it does require watering at least once a day. I need to set in the garden the 24 bib lettuce seedlings I moved up last week into 6 packs as well as move some romaine seedlings into 6 packs for a week or so.The half runner bean plants are sending out runners for the chain link fence and the collards are almost ready for another harvesting.
After the supper at the Botbyl's we headed home to watch the college game between Alabama and Clemson and I had a feeling Clemson was going to be hard to beat despite the record of 'Bama beating up on everyone this year. I kind of favored them from the start and wow did they ever perform with a freshman QB and some awesome receivers. It was really a blow out when I turned the lights out at the end of the third quarter and the Tigers held 'bama scoreless in the second half.
Tonight I head to Tampa to meet up with son Bobby who has tickets to the Lightning game in the box seat area which comes with food and drinks plus an awesome view of the ice. I sure hope they continue being the best team in all of the NHL thus far. I haven't been to a game in years and this arena is first class plus looking forward to some father/son time. He is doing so well with his job as he takes on more responsibility for this corporation that will probably go public sometime in the near future. He does have to travel around the country but he seems to love what he is doing and that is managing people to get the job done. I'm thrilled this job opened up for him instead of the law enforcement route which at one time he was interested in doing.
I got lots of hugs from the grand kiddos when I visited the Ross household and especially from Eliza Faye as she is just full of love for us. She is so cute and now that she is going to be 5 this month and in school a half day she is really maturing. All of them looked as if they grew the two weeks they were gone, LATER
