Well Tuesday was a bit dreary with little or no sunshine with the light rain at times through out the day. It was on the chilly side as well with highs in the 60's. I don't believe we got all that much measurable rain but I didn't have to hand water as everything stayed damp.
I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric and ginger while I posted this ramble and then spent some quiet time with my Creator in thanksgiving and lifting several up by name. All seems as well as can ne expected as I've nothing to the contrary. I got ready around 8:30 and headed out on my bike to rec. for close to 2 1/2 hours of pickle ball play with the better players in the group. We have the gym and extra 2 hours on Tue. and Thur.
I left the rec. worn plumb out and pedaled home in a light mist. I did harvest a nice mess of carrots for Amy who was coming for lunch. I also pulled a couple small egg plants and a couple green tomato's for lunch as well. Nancy fries them together and they are superb and I doctored mine up with a fresh raw jalapeno pepper, parsley and cilantro. We each also had a bowl of leftover Zuppa soup. Eliza Faye loves this soup as well. After they left to pick up Sam from School I read for an hour and may have napped when I heard Nancy say what happened. We learned at the very same intersection where Amy rear ended another car a couple years ago Tyler did the same thing with the little civic. Luckily he struck a large pickup truck in the rear and there was no damage to the truck so the driver didn't want a report which saved Tyler's license and a ticket. He was able to drive the civic home but the hood and front end is damaged. The car is nearly 20 years old but functions well as a second vehicle. We bought the car for Amy brand new when she graduated from school and it's been a great vehicle.
I believe they could fix the car with some salvaged parts as the motor seems alright but its their decision. Anyhow no one was hurt except for some pride which we all can get over that. I worked many crashed like that over the years and some were very serious involving death and injury. I always gave the rear vehicle the ticket as its their responsibility to look back before starting forward from a turn lane, Oh well.
We just had a fresh salad for supper after the large lunch of egg plant, green tomato's and Zuppa and we didn't eat until after 1PM when Amy got here. We sat and watched the Fox Cable News after supper and then I headed in to shower and then watch the hockey channel. The Lightning was off but will play tonight Wed. and Thurs. as the season draws to a close before the playoffs. We will be in the playoffs once again with the best record in the league and hopefully bring the Stanley Cup back to Tampa, ALTER
