Well Saturday was a bit nippy to start the day as the temp were down or up into the 40's but by late afternoon it reached the upper 60's, perfect day for a base ball game except for the wind which at times was strong especially on the open ball field. It actually blew little Ryder and Huck over at times as they came and were loving the opportunity to walk with several of kiddos at playing around the stands.
I started the day with my usual before 6 rollout to the cup of hot tea while I posted then spent some quiet time with my Creator and Lord in thanksgiving and lifting several by name. Kathryn is back home which is a great sign and haven't heard anything from others with any news. We did out usual social media remarks then had a lite breakfast before I headed out to hand water the gardens and then we got ready to head to Brandon. The interstate was packed going both ways and then again in the early evening coming back from Brandon. I just have a hard wondering where all these folks are headed throughout the day.
The weather was perfect for the game except in the shade you needed an extra wrap as the wind dropped the temps considerably. Katie brought the boys just after the game started and they had a ball as did Bobby's team. Gabe started the game pitching and held the team to a couple runs whereas we scored 5 to start the first inning and wound up with 13 runs to their 8. Most of the runs come off walks and bad throws but Gabe not only pitched a no hitter for 3 innings but did hit a triple which scored 2 runs, because of the number of pitches per game Gabe went to second base and their second pitcher could not find the plate and walked in several runs. Anyhow it was after 3 before the game was over and we soon headed home after helping Katie get the boys in their car seats. All of Katie family was there as well as Gabe's mom and her side of the family. Everyone is cordial but Susan the grand mother of Gabe on his mom's side who is and will always be a very anti social; needless to say we could care less but it's sad since its been close to 5 years since Bobby and Jill divorced.
We came back and I hand watered the gardens then we got ready to head over to the Nymarks beautiful home where our former pastor is now into another ministry and having to obtain his own funding. He made and prepared a stew like dish of chicken and dumpling which was O.K. along with some finger foods and a desserts afterwards. We agreed to help him as did all of us with donations for his living expenses which he must raise as he will be counseling pastors who are in need of support when going through troubling times. It's a non profit business started a few years back and has grown and Scotty has much to add to that program as he has experienced much of what these pastors are now going through presently. It was 8:30 before we broke up and then he came back for some leafy greens as he lives in our neighborhood and being from Mississippi he and his wife love collard greens.
Well I tuned into the Lightning game and they were definitely NOT on their game as the N.C. team was blowing them our 4-0 when I switched channels. Today we head back over to the Nymarks early, where 27 folks have signed up for the breakfast and Life Group that will meet to hear our message and then fellowship afterwards. We are hoping to start meeting on Sunday Mornings at the church even as they renovate the building. There is a huge kitchen there as well as plenty of room for more folks at attend, LATER
