Tuesday Morning Dec 7th

 Well Monday started out foggy once again and on the way home from Ava's basketball game the fog rolled in again inundating the area. It was rather spooky driving home in traffic with such heavy fog and of course there are the idiots who drive with no care for fellow travelers. Some times I wish I had the patrol car again, oh well.

I started the day much the usual with a 6 ish roll out to my routines that start with the cup of tea while I post the day's activities. I'm off pickle ball for another week to give the knee some more rest but its doing much better but not quite 100% yet. I got my brace in the mail so I'll start riding my bike wearing it to see if the ligaments are strong enough to get back to playing. I have been on my feet working the gardens for hours at a time and it feels fine, anyhow I did my quiet time to honor my Creator and Lord giving thanks and lifting several up by name, all seem as well as can be expected.

Nancy was off once again shopping for Christmas gifts for the family and for a couple of needy families as well as for our Life group this weekend  where we will have a supper and then play some games with a small gift exchange. I watched a couple documentaries on Lost Civilizations during afternoon and the history of the beginning of great cities who are now covered in the earth and gone forever is amazing. The clay tablets that are recovered and deciphered of their existence is fantastic to learn about in the centuries BC. Much of the latter civilizations are recorded in Bible as well BC. It's so much more interesting than reading about them in a world history book or class I took years ago. The landscapes are also very beautiful and the relics which are just about gone except in a few areas.

We had our big meal around 1'ish as we knew we would be at the ball game until late and it was after 8 before we left. Ava'd team played a team which was better coached with very good players and while they lost by 5 points they played hard and she led the team in scoring and rebounds despite some very close calls which never went their way. We stayed and watched the boys and they got blown away by this school as well with players that looked like college players. We love watching the games and the crowd really gets into it as well.

Well that was about it for Monday as we continue to get ready for the holidays, LATER
