Thursday Morning Jan 28th

 Well Wednesday started out with heavy fog through out the area for most of the day and then again it set in after sunset and then it rained with heavy down pours at times after dark. The moisture is most welcomed as its been a week or more since any rain and yet the cold has quickly moved on north and with that the humidity is making itself known; thus we have the a/c back on for probably until June when we plan on leaving for the mountains. I certainly would not want to be there now as they are expecting a winter storm once again with snow and cold temps.

I did the usual morning routines after rolling out before 6 to a cup of hot green tea while I posted this ramble and then spent some quiet time with my Creator and Lord in humble thanksgiving and lifting up several for comfort and healing. Our dear friend Kathryn is still in the hospital with covid but supposedly the doctors say she will eventually return back to the home and some what normal living but it will be a long drawn out recovery. Dan seems to be holding his own and is getting back to normal living. Those two seemed to be the worst for wear with this virus.

I headed out on my bike for two hours of pickle ball play at the Rec. with some good play through those two hours. Once again the stamina is returning as well as the play. It's funny how after missing 4 days in a row last week how quickly you get out of shape or your skills lessen but they seem to be back. Anyhow yesterday I never lost a game whereas on Monday I was losing occasionally; of course a lot of that depends on your partners as well and all of them are always much younger as I am. I'm the old man in the group and at times I amaze myself with the ability to play this game. GOD has blessed me with quickness and stamina.

I came home and piddled in the garden harvesting more leafy greens and blessing the neighbors. It seems the Bibb is coming to a head quickly so I'm giving away several heads a day and the collards as well are maturing so I picked a nice mess for neighbor Bobby. I'll harvest more today for our dear friends the Nymark's as we had supper at the Miller Ale House with them before attending prayer service at our new building for BridgePoint. We had close to 100 folks there for the meeting and its getting larger each week. We are excited about the renovations being done and that a service will be held before Easter.

That was about it for the day as it was 8:30 before getting back to the house and a hot shower for me. I soon watched some Life Below Zero in Alaska before shutting the lights off at 10 for me. Nancy is a night owl and comes to bed long after that hour, LATER
