Thursday Morning May 21st

Well we are 10 days out from leaving and with so much to do but we will travel to Brandon this AM for the next two days to assist with the care of Ryder and Huck while Bobby and Katie work. It's a night of mostly no sleep as its an unfamiliar bed but good eatin' as chef Bobby prepares two dinners for us each evening. We are going to miss watching the maturing of these two boys as well as the diaper changing, bottle as well as spoon feedings and the smiles and cooing sounds. These boys are growing and will soon be crawling and then walking, oh well.

Well it was another hot and humid day here in central Florida. I'm so looking forward to the change that comes with the mountains. We are barely above sea level here and will go to over 3000 ft living the next 5 months or so. I started the day on Wednesday much the usual although I'm starting to awaken earlier each day. It's a little after 5'ish instead of just before 6, oh well. I get this way every year as we draw closer to leaving. My mind works constantly throughout the night of what must be done before leaving and what I must do to get the cabin, gardens and yards in shape, but I love it.

I headed out around 7:15 for the Rec. on my bike to play at least 2 plus hours outside on the pickle ball court. I'm sure cleaning out the pores as I sweat so much during this period. We had good play and two players who quit because of this fear of the virus are now back with us as well and the play was great. I was whupped by the time I got back to the house around 10. Nancy was off for another doctor's appointment so I piddled around in the yards and gardens. I did spend some time after lunch on the History Channel's show Hunting Hitler while she was gone. It's a very intriguing investigation and one that shows Hitler did escape to Argentina.

Well we cleaned up the smashed taters and gravy along with a frozen chicken pot pie for our supper and I must say it was delicious to say the least. I piddled around outside after the cleanup, hand watering the gardens and yards until we could take a bike ride through the hood so Nancy could get some exercise. She of course was on the phone with friends and family until we took off on a good 30 minute power bike ride through the 'hood. We came back and I cut lettuce and cleaned it for the salad bowl. The heat is really taking its toll on the garden but the tomato's are finally showing some colors. The seedlings are growing and should be large enough to take with me when leave in 10 days. Its looking like the corrupt Obama administration is being exposed as well as his minions in the FBI and NSA. Such vile folks who undermined this duly elected potus Trump and destroyed the lives of so many as well as attempting a coup. I hope all of them go to prison at least and a few are hung, LATER
