Well Wednesday was another brutal hot muggy day here in Florida but I also hear its been unusually hot in the mountains with temps in the middle to upper 80's. Wow that is hot and now I'm finding the investment in the mini-split A/C last summer will be a blessing. It's supposed to get back to normal the week we arrive which draws closer each day. It's hard to believe nearly 7 months have gone by since we said good bye on that cold November morning.
I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my cup of green tea laced with turmeric and fresh ginger root as always, while I post this ramble then spent some time with my Creator. All those I lift up daily seem to be doing as well as can be expected as I've heard nothing to the contrary. Life is Good at this point in time. I got ready around 8 and headed out on my bike for the rec. where I got in two solid hours of pickle ball play then headed home to hang a load of laundry, harvest and clean the last of the collard greens and got them in the pot for supper while Nancy was off to another doctors appointment and to get a heart monitor for the next 24 hours. She has some racing of the heart A Fib or whatever its called and the doctors find all kinds of ways to soak up with excessive medical bills but she seems fine so I'm thankful for that. I hand watered the seedlings which are surviving in this 100+ degree heat and no rain.
She got back after lunch with of course a stop at the grocery once again. I sure hope we do not have to carry this stuff to the cabin but we always have at least 3 coolers jammed full when coming or going. Seems we have no common sense when buying groceries a couple days on either end, oh well. I piddled around catching up on some small chores; I called Skybest in Sparta and had my services turned on for next Monday but we will have to be there before 5 in the evening to make sure we have TV and Internet that evening as there is a circuit breaker in the basement that must be activated due to having the power off for 7 months. I also had the local paper from Sparta stopped from coming to Florida and back to our mountain address. It was just too hot to do anything outside so I napped and read nearly finishing another good read of short stories by James Patterson. Son Bobby mentioned that a 7 book series titled DARK TOWER is a must read so I'll look into that at the library in Sparta this summer. I don't get to read as much there as I'm usually working or piddling around outside.
We just found out Amy and family are coming to the cabin in July the same time Bobby and family will be there. That will be fun for about a week as they go on to Kansas to visited Tyler family. Amy wants to stop and see Paw Paw on the way as it's been years since she last saw him. I think Sam was just a baby. They will travel several hours and miles out of the way but she feels its necessary due to his advanced age and health concerns.
Well we tuned into the Ray's game and once more the manager over manages and the game which they should have won was tied when I turned the lights out around 10:30. I'll check the boxscores later to see who won. It would have been a sweep if they had some good relief pitching, LATER
