Well Tuesday was a fun day with once again nice weather. It was a bit overcast until mid morning which kept the high heat down and then a nice breeze in the late evening really made it quite comfortable to be outside. Nancy's cousin Chris and husband Bill came around lunchtime.
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 while I posted this ramble then spent some quiet time with my Creator in thanksgiving and lifting up several by name. All seem well as I write. I headed out to the rec. on my bike and got in two good hours of pickle ball play with the better players as we had the gym an additional two hours. Wow, I left whupped with a wet shirt. I came back and noticed where the old tree was the underground stump is the home to termites and they were swarming by the thousands. The lizards where having a field day but I quickly fill up the bean sprayer with insecticide and sprayed them. Hopefully that put an end to them for now.
We had a nice lunch of sandwich meat from the deli and lots of fresh garden veggies and dip.Then we decided to ply cards. They taught us a new game called 31 which is fun and fast but requires to start with three quarters. The last person in at the end of the game get the pot with the quarter. We played it again last night with Betsy and Gus who met us for supper at Millers Ale House. We taught them Euchre and the gals won the rubber match and then we played Spades and the guys whupped the gals handily. Spades is a more thought provoking game with partners in the mix. It was a great day of playing games and eating.
Millers had a Tuesday special of a sirloin steak which was delicious and tender for 9 bucks with a baked tater and slaw. It was perfect and prepared just right at rare to medium. Everyone had the steak except Chris who had the fish and chips and all of us were pleased and the price was right as well. We sat out under the porch area while waiting for Betsy and Gus and had an adult beverage and the breeze was perfect as we chilled and watched various sports on the many TV's. We all came back to our house for dessert and coffee and then played 31 a couple times. Nancy and Bill were winners.
It was after 10 when Betsy headed out with Gus and I hit the showers and watched some TV until 11'ish. I'm not a fan of eating late especially a large meal late in the evening so I tossed and turned most of the night, oh well. We will meet up with the Tracy's and the Botbyl's again this evening at the Bonefish was a birthday meal for Carol and Nancy so once again it will be a late evening meal. Oh well such as it is. Chris and Bill will leave this morning for the airport and then back to cold Pennsylvania, LATER
