Well I must say Friday was one of the nicest days yet for this year; no humidity, lots of sunshine with temps into the low 80's by late afternoon. Awesome day. I got in a good 2 hour workout at a different location than the rec. for pickle ball with all top notch players, many of whom I had played against and with over the years. I held my own and won more games than I lost with different partners. It was after lunch time before I got back to the house and a bite of lunch.
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 spent some quiet time with my Creator in thanksgiving and lifting up several by name. I now have a new grand nephew just born to Halley Jo in Colorado. She and Cody now have two boys and both are doing well. Everyone else is doing O.K. to the best of my knowledge. I spoke with sister Pat who is caring for Paw Paw and she said he is holding his own as well with some minor issues but the VA is giving him good medical care.
I piddled around in the garden and the front yard as the new Crepe Myrtle tree is leafing out and the front yard grass is taking off spreading a nice solid green yard. I'm hoping it will stay this way since we have basically got rid of the St.Augustine grass which is susceptible to cinch bugs bugs and mold. Last year when we got home the front yard was brown and bare in spots. The garden continues to do great. I harvested lettuces, kale, beet greens and Swiss chard for a huge salad as we head over to Amy's this coming evening for a family birthday dinner for Sam. Tyler is smoking baby back ribs and all of grands will be together. Should be a fun evening as always.
I'm heading out to help with the Pow Wow Parade this morning representing BridgePoint Church in the community and then Nancy and I will be at a tent handing out small gifts and candy at the rec. on Sunday after church for BridgePoint.We want to be a partner in the community for special events and to welcome folks to worship with us. That was about it for the day as watched the Fox Cable News channel after supper. I did get in some read time in the afternoon but except for leaving to play pickle ball we stayed around the house, LATER
