Well Saturday was a little cooler with no sunshine except brief moments which made it feel even colder than the 50's. We had the whole family over to celebrate Eliza's 7th birthday early as Annsley and Gabe were with Bobby for the week end with a huge family spaghetti dinner she requested. She is such a sweet little girl and just full of energy.
I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish roll out to my cup of hot tea which felt good on this rather chilly and stark morning. I spent some quiet moments with my Creator and Lord giving thanks and lifting several up for healing and comfort. Many are still under the weather with this virus and even hospitalized. Nancy and I have managed to stay healthy thus far. We had a lite breakfast as we had lots to do to get ready for this family gathering.
I headed out to hand water the gardens and they seem to love this cooler temps for a change. I'm now harvesting lots of leafy greens for salads and the radishes are the largest I've ever grown. Afterwards I got busy and vacuumed the whole house and then we moved some furniture so the twins could have some extra room to play. I took down those portable beds for them which added some extra space for the older grands to gather and socialize. We were busy in the kitchen preparing guacamole and dressings etc. They all came around 2'ish and then it was a festive time until they left some time around 5:30. The dinner was delicious and plentiful and the cake Eliza wanted was one of my fav's; chocolate with white icing. Wow its been awhile and we sent the leftover home with her as we would have eaten it.
We had some good fruit of the vine before and during this Italian them supper. The meat balls were delicious and the twins devoured them. They are now off the formula and on whole milk as well as all table foods. Ryder took several steps on his way to walking alone and Huck is still crawling and fast on his knees. They were so cute and cuddly. It's looking like we will have them for three days and two nights sometime in March as Bobby and Katie go away with friends for a long weekend. That should be interesting as by then both will be walking. They are such a delight as is all our grands.
Well I tuned into some of the NFL playoff games. I do not agree with their political crap but do love the game and the local team from Tampa was playing in Washington. It was a late night game and while we should have blown them out because of various reasons we did just barely win. I do not think they will advance much further in the play off's unless they get some defense in the secondary which was as porous as Swiss cheese, oh well. It ended well past by normal bedtime which is 10'ish so this morning I had a hard time getting out of bed around 6'ish, LATER
