Thursday Morning November 18th

 Well Wednesday was another beautiful day with a little more humidity that moved into the area. Nancy had the a/c back on for the evening and over night. It was perfect for drying two loads of laundry outside on the clothesline and for working in the back yard and gardens. I started the day much the usual with a well before 6 roll out to my cup of tea while I posted this ramble and then some quiet moments with my Creator and Lord giving thanks and lifting several up by name for comfort and healing. All seem as well as can be expected due to ages and health issues.

I headed out before 7:30 on my bike for the Rec for two plus hours of pickle ball with some good players and held my own despite being 10-20 years senior to most of these players. My edge is coming back and so is the stamina which is taking me a couple weeks to get back to the top of my game plus I'm slowly dropping a couple ounces daily. I'm eating healthy and smaller portions and no beer which I guess helps. Last night we just had a helping of fresh broccoli and a grilled bone in pork chop slathered in fresh rosemary from the garden. The rosemary bush must be at least 10 years old and keeps growing. I've cut it back several times and even started new bushes to give away and take to the cabin each summer. It dies up there due to the freeze but here, it survives without water and loves poor soil.

All of the transplants look good but several of the sowed seeds did not germinate which surprises me, but I'll have enough leafy greens for the salad bowl in another week or so. I may not have a lot to give away this season especially the lettuces and kales which were the ones that didn't sprout as of yet. The beets and Swiss chard seem to have sprouted as did the dill and cilantro which need to be moved up into larger containers.

Well Nancy was off shopping again and came home with the back of the truck loaded down once again with birthday presents for the twins and more goodies for the shoe box gifts for Samaritan Purse. We will head over to Brandon this afternoon to beat the rush hour traffic and have supper with Bobby who just got back from Arizona on business. This game will be the last for this season for him and Gabe before spring ball starts. We will be attending Ava's basketball games starting next week which will keep us busy as well. We spoke with youngest sister Dee for a couple to congratulate Mike on retiring. They will be traveling a lot as well to see their grands in Nebraska and N.Carolina. Dee still works part time a couple days a week.

That was about it for the day after the clean up from supper and a couple hours of NewsMax and Fox. The nation is suffering big time under this moron who was inserted and not elected legally into the white house. It's unbelievable there are still biased news networks who continue to cover for the corrupt dems and this inept administration. I'm one to voice my displeasure for these crooks and now I'm back in FaceBook jail for my comment on Crooked Hillary who is finally being exposed by the Durham investigation as the master mind to connect Trump to Russia with the false dossier, LATER 




Nancy purchased a picture called the Beach House for the living area.
