Well since I haven't posted anything since Saturday morning I will catch everyone up on the happenings. Saturday itself was a busy one that was mostly fun and games with some fine eatin' thrown in the mix twice during the day and oh my what a beautiful winter day in Florida. The humidity was null and void and a slight breeze kept it comfortable in the 80 degree temps. I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish roll out to my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric and ginger while I posted this ramble then lifted up several by name to my Creator as well as gave thanks for my many blessings.
We were scheduled to give Dan and Carol a ride to the airport and they head north for about 10 days to visit family but they were heading into a polar vortex of all things with snow and below freezing temps, yeow. It's been years since they have driven in those kinds of conditions and they were a bit apprehensive. We just dropped them off and headed home to get ready for our first trip to the Walsingham Park for a volunteer cook out for the BridgePoint gang. I did some garden watering while Nancy put together a Cole slaw for the event. We had the usual burgers and dogs plus an assortment of salads, slaws and too many other various dishes to mention. The weather was perfect and the coolness of the breeze in the shade made it great for getting out and into the sun to play some "corn hole" We played and ate until nearly 2:30 then headed home to get ready for the Life Group event at the same shelter.
We or the church did three events that day so we got our money's worth which lasted from 9 in the morning until the park closed at 7 that evening. There were over a hundred for the volunteer cook out and probably only 20 at the most for the later event which was bring your own meat to grill and a dish to share. We brought bone in pork chops and parsley taters as well as the left over Cole slaw and a delicious Oreo pudding dessert, yikes was it ever the hit of the event. We also played "corn hole"until it was time to leave at 7. We did do prayer requests and closed in prayers as well. It was a grand time of food, fun and fellowship and we got to know several in the group more closely which is mostly blue or white hairs. I think Nancy maybe the youngest gal and I maybe the oldest or close to it guy; when did all this happen.
Well we couldn't ask for better winter weather as the north and even the mountains is having another winter day with snow and freezing temps. The earth is warming is such a huge fabricated lie to take money away from Americans and give to the world economy which just makes me sick. We Americans need to stand firm and look out for our nation and vote these malcontents who want to change our nation into a socialist society and make us a third world economy with taking our wealth and giving it to those who want to rule us. The last administration nearly completed that ideology with their take over of the justice department, signing us to the Paris and Iran accords which would have destroyed the nation both economically and militarily by giving those who chant death to America daily the ability to have nuclear weapons and eventually wipe us out. I will never know why these political leaders have not been charged with treason.
Well on Sunday it was up early for me as I rode my bike to the college for the load in and set up for BridgePoint Church. We or I started early in the morning and we both were there from 8 until 12:30 when we left after setting in on the first service and then working in the Kidspoint area the second service. I was in a room with 16 kids in the age range of 3 to 5 and what a handful a few of them are. We had a teacher and two of us volunteers which kept us on our toes. I think we will break the class up as that was just too many for one class and with a couple disruptive kids it makes it difficult to control the class. It's a very structured class with a great message and activities but a few of the boys need to be separated. You can tell which of the kids have no discipline at home. I got to know them fast and eventually had to use the time out form of discipline, oh well.
It was Nancy and Sam's birthday as she turned 62 and is now social security available and Sam's last year in the single digits. He turned 9 and is a great young man with awesome manners and attitude. We all met at the Japanese Restaurant in St.Pete where we were entertained by our chef Gus and dined on everything from soup, salad, grilled chicken, steak, shrimp and scallops. It was delicious but Nancy wasn't crazy about the smell on her clothes afterwards as there are flames and smoke from the grill. We came back to Amy's and had birthday ice cream cake with Sam and then met his new pet a lizard he named Link. We all held him and he looks like he came from the desert of the southwest. The kids really like him and they buy live meal worms for him to eat as well as kale which I have plenty of. It was a great two days of fun, eatin', and fellowship, LATER
