Well Sunday started very early for me as I rode out on my bike to the college which is next door to the Rec. at 5:30 AM for the load in for BridgePoint Church. We are so good at it with several volunteers I was back home before 7 to get ready to head out at 8 for the first service which is at 9. It was a bit nippy at that time of the day and it stayed in the 50's most all day and over cast which made it feel even colder. We had two services and both were well represented with more new faces every Sunday.
We served the first service as Nancy was helping in the Kidspoint area with the 3-4 year olds and I was a greeter outside at the front door for both services but managed to slip in the auditorium for the message and some awesome praise and worship music. We headed out after the second service and got back to the house around noon for a bite of lunch which featured our leftovers from the night before's supper out. We chilled the rest of the day or I did on the couch watching the hapless Bucs once again lose to the division leading Saints. We have no QB or any pass defense so I'm, sure our season is over with just 3 wins for this year. There are just too many mistakes and lack of hustle on the team in my humble opinion, oh well. I know I would never spend money to go and see them play so poorly on the field.
Nancy has the fever for putting out Christmas decorations so we open the artificial tree box that she ordered months ago and I put the stand together and the tree. The final results are not quite what the picture depicted for the cost of this tree but it will be fine once she gets all of the decorations on. The several live trees were a mess that turned brown and the needles fell off in the first two weeks the past couple of years. Hopefully this tree will pay for itself the next 10 years or so as I think its a perfect fit for our small living room.
We had a garden fresh salad for supper which was delicious to say the least. I'm harvesting tons of green leafy veggies for the salads and if my three areas of cucumbers make I'll be giving the away. The radishes are up as well and the three other lettuce seedlings are doing well also. That will give me 4 lettuces, Swiss chard and beet greens for those garden salads we so much love. I did give the garden garden a hand watering after lunch but there has been no sunshine since Friday morning with this cold front that brought some welcomed rain so the garden has not dried out, LATER
