Well Tuesday was a mixture of fun and eating as we traveled up to the Tampa Bay Country Club near Dade City, actually I think the mailing is closer to St.Leo, anyhow our friends the Tracy's live there now and they introduced us to another couple from St. Louis, Mo.
I started the day much the usual with a before 6'ish roll out to my usual 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 several up by name. All seem well as I make this post. I headed out around 9'ish as this was one of the days we have the gym until noon so I go in an hour later and then play to noon. Now that we are getting short on players as many have headed to their summer homes up north I may start coming again at 8 on those two days for some extra work out.
We had some great play on the pickle ball court with 5 of us A players and we were all whupped by noon. I made a quick stop at the library for a couple reads before heading home to have a quick bite of lunch. We had a 1 PM meeting with our financial advisor who has become almost a family friend. He has made us some great investments over the years and been a great help with all of our decisions regarding our retirement. We are blessed.
The Botbyl's picked us up around 4 and we headed north on I -75 and the traffic at that hour was stop and go through Tampa at this rush hour and even north of the city the exit ramps were backed up for miles. It took us and hour and half which usually takes 50 minutes to travel the 50 miles or so. Anyhow we stopped briefly at the Tracy's to unload some fresh veggies from my garden then headed to their beautiful club house where the second Tuesday of each month an all you care to eat prime rib and shrimp supper is offered along with a beautiful salad bar and great veggies for 22 bucks a person. The food is prepared perfectly and I had my share of the rare prime rib and shrimp prepared two ways as well as you peel them.
We met a new couple who live just around the corner from the Tracy's and after dining we came back and we taught them the game called "dice". Nancy was the winner with several being close. Dan and I where terrible in rolling the dice and never got any where near the 10,000 points needed to win. Marie and Ed are in our age bracket yet he still works part time at Lowes to keep busy plus he plays golf. They seem like really fun folks and are looking forward to visiting the mountains this summer at the Tracy's. I'm sure we will have an opportunity to have them to our place for a visit and dining as well.
Well we got back to Seminole around 9:30 so it was shower time for me and the last inning of the Ray's vs Marlins game in Miami and we won 4-0. We still keep a game ahead of the Yanks in our division. Fox News is keeping us up to date on the investigation into the investigators which looks as if some dem's and crooks in the obama administration are starting to squirm with the cover up of Hillary and the attempted to coup of our duly elected Potus Trump being exposed, LATER
