Well Thursday was a day filled with a great workout at the rec. on the pickle ball court until lunch time, then some garden work and finally looking after Nancy as she had some surgery done on her jaw which means no chewing for a week so she takes most of her nutrients threw a straw. I went shopping for fruits, veggies, jello's and puddings and then made her a delicious smoothie for her lunch with some fresh kale from the garden.
I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric and fresh ginger while I posted this ramble then spent some quiet moments with my Creator. All seem well that I lift up daily for comfort and healing and I did get through to Paw Paw after supper. He seemed in good spirits despite a minor cold as I could heard it in his chest and he didn't repeat anything; quite lucid. The mountains had warmed up from the frost the night before and he mentioned it was rather chilly in W.Va. with cloudy skies. It has been the coldest Spring in memory for many despite all of the naysayers who promote this global warming hoax. There are seasons and cycles and for anyone to think man can change what GOD introduced into his creation is just another falsehood promoted by the liberals.
I had nearly 3 hours of pickle ball play with some of the best players I have ever played with and against. It was a total war with huge 15-20 ball rallies and the games were decided by one play or point. Needless to say I was whupped by the time I headed home on my bike a little after noon. Nancy was still at the dermatologist office having her chin checked for anymore basal cell cancers and thankfully none was found where she had the biopsy performed a couple weeks ago; they did however put several stitches in her jaw and bandaged it and told her no chewing for a week and no exercise as well.
She did well despite complaining about having no exercise for a week plus eating through a straw or food that can be blended or smashed down to spoon texture. We are planning on a sleep over for all the grands on Saturday night and then a huge birthday family dinner on Sunday so I'm not sure how she will handle that. I really think its too much to handle but she says I can do all the manual work as she is limited to any of that as well.
I ate leftovers on a bed of salad and she boiled fresh squashes down to tender pieces and was able to eat. She later had some ice cream. I think she has a chance to loose some weight but she doesn't think so anyhow she did rather well. The bandage comes off on Saturday and then she can get her face wet. We had to cancel our trip to Tampa for the grands school program which means we have to go next week for the awards ceremony oh well. I piddled around outside in the garden and yards after the supper cleanup, hand watering and pulling some weeds which are growing so fast. The new seedlings I moved into 6 packs seem to be doing well and now I must harvest jalapenos today as they are growing and reproducing. The tomatoes have slowed down to almost a couple every other day. The collards are starting to wilt and kale is starting to as well with this extreme heat. Usually by this time of the year the garden is finished due to the high heat, LATER
