Well Friday turned out to be another beautiful winter day in sunny warm Florida. I'm amazed the north is still getting snow and freezing temps as we are now starting to keep the a/c on full time. I think we ran the heat one morning to take the chill off but its been that kind of winter here. The garden loves this weather with cool nights and warm days and some almost too warm but March is here so we can now expect the humidity and hot days to be here until next October, oh well.
I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish roll out to my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric and fresh ginger root while I posted this ramble and then lifted up several by name to my Creator for comfort, healing and a relationship with Him. All seem well and even Eddie is back on the mend as we spoke with Kimberly yesterday. The electricity is back on in W.Va. where sister Pat who is caring for Paw Paw was without it for a couple days, yeow that is hard to imagine without heat and the comforts of home but the reverse happens when storms strike here in Florida with no a/c for days.
I got in two solid hours of pickle ball play at the rec. then headed home to piddle in the gardens harvesting lettuces, another egg plant and sugar peas to take with us to Bobby's later in the day. We were expecting some fresh shrimp from a vendor but for some reason they didn't make it as we were not on the main schedule. This seafood house is now marketing their catch here in Florida and from our friends they say it is delicious, fresh and reasonable and they deliver to your house, anyhow we waited for them to bring shrimp but we had to leave for Brandon. We left a little after 3 which made for a 2 hour drive for 50 miles the traffic was that bad on the toll road which was stop and go for 15 miles or more. I do not know how the folks in that area stand the congested roadways.
Bobby had grilled chicken breasts in place of what was supposed to be grilled shrimp and we brought the rest of the fixin's which were perfect for poor boy sandwiches. We headed over to the ball park and watched Gabe and his team win big with great hitting. I ran the scoreboard and met a real nice dad from the other team who travels around the world installing and maintaining of all things cremation ovens. We sat and talked in between plays as he did the score book and me the score board. Gabe's team won 15-7 with some good hitting and infield plays. It was nearly 8:30 when we finished and headed home. The ride was much more enjoyable home than the ride over.
I soon hit the showers and caught up on the news from the FOX Cable news then hit the sack around 10'ish. Today Saturday with be another busy day as I take the Botbyl's to the airport this morning then we have two functions at Walsingham Park for BridgePoint which is near the house. One is a volunteer party and the other is our Life group get together. Should be some fine eatin' as well, LATER
