Well Monday was a rather overcast warm and humid day when the sun came out after lunch. I got rained on when I left the Rec around 10'ish while riding my bike home from pickle ball. This front brought some cooler temps which is really nice at 57 degrees this AM, but its winter here in Florida.
I started the day with a well before 6 'ish roll out to my routines that start with the cup of hot tea while I post this ramble and then some quiet time with my Creator and Lord giving thanks and lifting up several for comfort and healing. All seem as well as can be expected. I had a good 2 plus hour workout on the pickle ball court and then learned one of our players was saying good bye and is moving to Jacksonville to be near family. He will be missed. We had three courts in action and we kept one as a challenge court for the more advanced players.
I got soaking wet on the ride home as the rain shower just began and lasted for an hour and then the sun came out and with it, high humidity. I soon worked up a sweat in the gardens pulling unwanted grasses and hoeing around the plants. I have a ton of pole beans adding leaves almost hourly and I'll soon be able to add some leafy greens to the salad bowl. I'm excited for some home grown greens and soon a mess a collard greens. I did lose several of the recently transplanted beet and Swiss chard seedlings but I left several in the ground to take their place. I moved up another 3 pots of cucumber seedlings and will set them in the ground today.
Nancy took Amy, Ava and Eliza Christmas shopping for clothes and Eliza was so excited with her new dress. Its beautiful and she is a clothes horse at the age of 8, oh well. They were gone for a couple of hours and then came back for lunch and Nancy made a batch of chocolate chip cookies. I passed on them again and I saw the 189 again for a change. I'm down around 7-8 pounds since getting home and I've still another 5-7 to go to reach my goal of near 180.
I grilled some ground venison that neighbor Gerald blessed us with before leaving the cabin and it was fantastic. I have lunch for the next couple of days and then it will be leftover turkey for a few days as we have a huge turkey to roast on Thursday as we celebrate Thanksgiving with Amy's family and Nancy's sister Betsy and husband. We will send plates home with them for their reclusive son Garrett and for Braden who is usually working over holidays.
I tuned into Newsmax to catch up on the news which is not good with this inept potus who is being a puppet to Obama and his division to destroy America and then it was time for a shower and to watch our Tampa Bay Bucs play the Giants. Our old QB Brady was on and we finally won a game 30-10 against a good team despite several injuries with our team. We may make the playoffs but have to get back several key players to so, LATER
