Thursday Morning Dec 9th

Well Wednesday was a busy day that started with a before 6 roll out to my morning routines that start with the cup of tea while I post this ramble and then some quiet moments to give thanks and honor my Creator and Lord while lifting up several for comfort and healing. All seem as well as can be expected. I spoke with my uncle Paw Paw who turned 94 on this day and he sounded lucid and in good spirits. The conversation was short as he doesn't hear because he refuses to wear his aids which are provided by the VA. Pat his daughter whom he lives with took him out to a local eatery where he had his fried oysters and a salad. He is a good eater and always has been. I spoke with our "mountain mom" who is just a few months shy of 94.  She lives alone and hears quite well but she is having issues with walking but still drives weekly for her hair appointment and to the grocery store.

I had to get my truck serviced at the Ford place and wow was it ever busy at 8 in the morning. I spent a couple hours there as they serviced it fully. I spoke with the sales lady whom we have become friends with and she talked up the hybrid F150 and I think I may try one next year when the micro chips become available to car manufactures. China seems to have the monopoly on this facet for vehicles which has several hundred in each vehicle. When will the USA become independent again from China and their attempts to undermine our country, Oh Well.

I stopped at Sam's for gas on the way home and its 25 cents a gallon cheaper than on the market, but they were out of paper products once again due to hoarding from this man made virus. There were tons of folks in line to buy gas which reminded me of the gas shortage back in the 70's. I did stop at Lowes and found a jalapeno pepper plant and some onion seeds both of which I sowed and transplanted into the garden. It looks as if most of the seedlings I transplanted will make and I'll soon have the whole garden in veggies. It really turned hot here during the day with a strong wind and it must have blown in some rain as it fell briefly just after dark. We sure could use a good rainy day as its very dry here.

Nancy is still having tummy issues as she was continually on the throne through out the day. I sure hope I by pass this bug as we are supposed to attend a Christmas concert this evening for Ava and Sam at a church in St.Pete, LATER
