Well I do have a ton to be thankful for during these past 75 years and while I've never known or met my bio father I have a Father who is the Creator and my Lord which has sustained me all these years. I'm totally thankful I have been a good, decent and loving father to my 2 kids and 7 grand kids. They are the true blessings of life and have added so much joy to Nancy and our lives along with the many friends both here and in the mountains.
I started Wednesday out much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my cup of tea while I posted this ramble and then some quiet time with my Creator and Lord giving thanks and lifting several up for comfort and healing. All seem as well as can be expected among these I lift up to GOD on a daily basis. I soon headed out on my bike to the Rec for 2 plus hours of pickle ball with some not as advanced as on Tuesday but I was able to get a wet shirt from the workout. I headed home and hung a couple loads of laundry as Nancy was shopping once again with Amy and Betsy for Christmas presents for the family and of course for todays big supper with Amy's family, Betsy and Gus. We will do the whole turkey day again on Friday at Bobby's with Katie's family, cousin Tammy's family and all of us because Annsley and Gabe will be there.
I worked outside in the gardens hoeing weeds, hand watering and resowing some seeds. I moved a couple of the transplants into the garden proper as well. I have collards and some romaine lettuce as well as some kale ready for the salad bowl which we will add after these two turkey days are over with the smashed taters and gravy, sweet tatter casseroles and stuffing have added some girth to the spare tire plus cheese cakes and pumpkin pies, oh well. I will go off my dessert diet for this weekend until we do it all again on Christmas a month from now. We are blessed with good cooks and in a nation where you can still find good foods. GOD has blessed America and we should all be thankful we are citizens of this great nation despite the inept administration now in control which so corrupt it makes me ill, LATER
