Well we finally got some of that nice warm weather after a chilly start on Monday. It was another holiday so there was no pickle ball but I did get in a nice bike ride through the 'hood after lunch. Amy brought the grands and the pup, Rocky for a visit mid afternoon. He is just a big clumsy goofy loving dog and listens rather well. Nancy made chocolate chip cookies and they ate their fill and took the rest with them. I finally finished the dozen or so cinnamon raisin oatmeal cookies which are my favorite ever.
I did my usual morning routines that start with hot cup of green tea while I post this ramble then some quiet time with my Creator and Lord giving thanks and lifting up several for comfort and healing. Katie's grand parents both passed away within 3 days of each other so the family will have a joint funeral on Thursday in Brandon. He passed away first and while her health was terrible as well she passed 3 days later with grief as a major factor. Our dear friends Dan and Kathryn are still in the hospital after contracting this virus but their spouses Carol and Patrick seems to have overcome their issues related to the virus.
I did some gardening once again harvesting a nice mess of collards for supper and they were delicious to say the least. The salad bowl is constantly now filled with leafy greens and Nancy used some of my parsley for tatters with our supper meal. I just love harvesting home grown veggies and eating them. You always know what they have been treated with when home grown and I use no pesticides. We both are back into reading again and Nancy loved the Sparks book and this new old book I picked up at the library for her has her reading when a few moments are provided.
Well after the cleanup from supper I tuned into the Newsmax channel and caught up on the latest before switching to the NHL games and then finally into the NAT GO channel with life below zero. It's a great show on how folks live in different parts of Alaska and acclimate to their situations and storing up for the winter months. There is never a day there when your not working on something or getting ready for those cold winter months. I love their ingenuity but no longer a fan of being closed up with very cold temps. The winter adventure over the holidays took care of my desire to winter in the mountains and I can not imagine living in the cold frozen Alaska for months on end. Not for me but I do love the man vs nature aspect of the show.
Well it wasn't long after a hot shower I was ready for horizontal lab, LATER
