Well the count down is at 6 days until we leave for the cabin. It's been a long 7 months since we headed back to Florida from the mountains but my heart is yearning for the natural in eye sight, yet my heart will be saddened from not seeing our son, daughter and grand kiddos until they come for a visit this summer and hopefully again for the Thanksgiving holidays.
Monday was a different kind of day with rain clouds in the area most all day. We did see a few sprinkles early in the morning but by 8 it had stopped and I was able to get in nearly two full hours of pickle ball play outside as the Rec is closed and their hours do not blend in with mine. I'm enjoying early morning play and the loss of some weight is good in the hot muggy atmosphere of playing outside. I was whupped as I rode home on the bike and then hit a hot shower as we were heading up to The Tracy's near St.Leo's for the afternoon and evening.
The Botbyl's drove so I got to relax and even cat napped at times on the ride up and back. We spent nearly 8 hours eating, visiting and playing games as well as did a little gun shopping for Patrick. He is interested in getting some protection because it Trump loses this election by fraud we will have to protect ourselves from the radical Left who want to take over our lives, take away our right to protect ourselves and create a world where we are subservient to their socialist ideology; in other words treat us like the Nazi's did the Jews in WW II. No way am I letting them control my life and Patrick has my way of thinking as well with protecting our selves with a firearm. We shopped shotguns which I think are better for making a statement when loaded with buckshot which leaves a wide path of destruction and so much easier to not miss your target, plus it makes a big bang and its not considered a concealed weapon.
We took finger food for our mid day snacks and then sat down to a beautiful delicious supper of chicken breasts, yellow rice, black beans and a fresh salad with brownies and ice cream for dessert. The girls had gone off to shop Cato's after lunch which they all like but they were told they could not try any clothes on in the store due to this virus; such an idiotic rule since you could take it home and then return it if necessary. Well neither of the gals purchased anything due to that rule. We didn't purchase anything either but got some good info for both Patrick and Dan who does not have a weapon either. We old fellers need to start thinking what the dem's will do to US(A) if they steal the election away from Trump which we pray GOD will forbid.
We did play a game of 6 handed Spades and the guys prevailed big and then after supper ,a best of 7 Sequence games and we(guys) won again in the 7th game. It was a nail biter at times but raucous as well. It was after 8 when we headed out for Seminole. There were dark rain clouds everywhere but our area looked bone dry, Oh well, LATER
