Thursday Morning...April 23rd

Well Wednesday was a busy fun day that started with a before 6 roll out to my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble then spent some quiet time with my Creator and Lord in thanksgiving and lifting several up by name for comfort  and healing. All seem well as I've heard nothing to the contrary.

 I got ready and headed over to a local church where 4 of us gathered for 2 hours of outside pickle ball play. It's the same players since the shut down started and none of us have shown any evidence of being contaminated or carrying the virus and besides being outside in the heat and sunshine is a killer of this virus. I left with a wet shirt and a pound or two lighter. I took another bike ride after hand watering the gardens while Nancy shopped again at the grocery store which I think there is more of a chance for contamination than outside on a pickle ball court.

She used up some Virginia bacon we bring back and freeze and had thawed out for the Zuppa Soup, so we had BLT's for lunch which is always a favorite. I grilled marinated chicken breasts for our supper and had our first mess of green beans to accompany them which were delicious. We head over to Brandon this morning (thur) to watch the boys as Katie starts her new job. She will be working from home so she can still give them some attention at times as well as pump milk for their bottles. The boys are doing much better and are almost back to normal after their scare with the infection; we still do not know how and where they received this bacteria that nearly cost little Huck his life. We still give thanks for the staff at TGH and for the many folks who prayed for them.

Well after the cleanup from supper Nancy and I took a long power bike ride through the hood. She needs to get her legs in shape for the hike up the steep trail that leads to the top of our mountain as we are hoping to be there the first of June. Actually we are planning on leaving May 31st which is a Sunday and usually the traffic is less than during the work week, LATER


 The green beans are pole beans and the taters are from peelings that sprouted in the compost pile that I replanted. This is our second mess of them and they are so delicious and creamy.
