Well Tuesday was an eventful day and a first ever at the social security office in St.Pete for Nancy as she turned 62 and is now eligible for some money as well as driving a new Ford Escape which is now parked in the garage. (It's a loner from the Ford dealership where a recall was being done on my F 150).
I started the day out much the usual with a before 6 roll out to a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric and fresh ginger while I posted this ramble and then I lifted several up to my Creator by name. All seem well at this point in time. I headed out to the rec. at 8 and played for nearly two hours as we had an appointment in St.Pete around 11 for Nancy's benefits which as it turned could or should have been done over the phone and was completed while we drove back, oh well and there are those who want the gov't to control all phases of our lives. We stopped in Pinellas Park at the PDQ for a lunch which was very delicious and on top of that we had a buy one get one free coupon. The food was as good as Chick filet or I thought even tastier as we both had chicken breast sandwiches with fries/tater tots.
I had a 1'ish appointment with Walker Ford and we met our sales gal there who has become a friend. They had to change the door locks on the trucks as it was a recall item and would need the truck the rest of the day so she got us a loner for the rest of the day. I will take it back after pickle ball this morning then she will help us to set up the GPS that talks to you when you want to find a place on the map. We could never get it to talk to us, oh well. We are somewhat challenged when it comes to electronics, apps for phone etc. I learned one thing is that smart phone is a blessing at times as you can receive emails which allowed the Ford place to get an update card for my vehicle insurance as I had an expired card in the truck, oh well that saved me for getting the loner vehicle as the insurance company emailed them a copy of my current policy.
Nancy made a huge pot of Zuppa soup and the smell permeated the house causing my taste buds to water until we ate around 6. I harvested a beautiful mess of kale which she adds to the soup and the kale was gorgeous if kale can look that good. I hand watered the gardens and then set the sprinkler on the front yard until dark. The grass is so green and has filled in really nice since I've been fertilizing and watering it and even the back yard is doing much better. The gardens are winding down as the lettuces despite daily watering are bolting as the heat is taking its toll. I'm still getting tomato's from the one dominant plant but it to is fading with just a few green fruits. The other side of the garden where the squirrels love to break and chew the tomato plants is starting to give us fruit and we should have some for several weeks or at least until we leave in June.
Well the Lightning season is over and with them being the best team all year and I thought sure they would bring the Cup to Tampa, but they were smothered in 4 straight games by a team who never beat them in the regular season. I don't know if they rested on their record as it was the best ever but this Columbus team took them to the woodshed and slaughtered them. What's ironic is their coach was the same coach who took the Lightning to their first ever Stanley Cup win a few years back, oh well. The Ray's won again over the Orioles at the Trop with great pitching and hitting. I do not know if we are a Cinderella team but with our small payroll and inexperienced players we are in first place in a division that is the toughest in MLB, LATER
