Well Friday was a busy day that ended with us doing something we had never done before and that was attend a concert by the Florida Orchestra at Al Lang Stadium in beautiful down town St. Pete by the waterfront. What a beautiful evening to be outside under the full moon.
I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my morning routines that start with the cup of tea while I posted this ramble and then some quiet time with my Creator and Lord giving thanks and lifting several up by name, all seem well as can be expected. I headed out around 7:30 on my to the Rec. for some 2 hours of pickle ball and had a good workout before heading home. It was starting to warm up once again after a beautiful morning. I piddled around in the garden hand watering before our medicare advisor came by and signed Nancy up for when she starts in March. We both will be using Blue Cross Blue Shield as our secondary plan only she will now have a Plan G for her scripts. I'm so far blessed without needing those scripts except for the once for my eyes which is really a supplement but I get it half cost through the VA.
After he left we had some lunch and then I read until it was time to give the seedlings another small drink before getting ready to head out with the Nymark's and the Botbyl's to a new eatery in Sy Pete called Fresh Kitchen. It's bowls but you choose the contents and the highest price on the menu is 11 bucks and it all organic and free of all the bad stuff found in some restaurant foods. It was such a busy place and no waiting as you go cafeteria style and very delicious but the distance is so far from our house it would have to be when we take a trip down town. We left and then headed downtown to find a parking spot which is an adventure in and of itself. We finally found a 5 buck spot which is quite reasonable for the evening and most are at least double that but today we head to Bush Gardens where the parking cost is 6 times that at 30 bucks just to park, oh well.
We listened to the Christmas concert with just the brass section of the orchestra which was a little disheartening when we thought is would be the full group; but they were awesome as they played a variety of classical, hymns and Christmas songs and we the audience sang along with them with many of the songs they played. It was very entertaining especially after the intermission when we would know the music and what they were playing. The evening was beautiful with the full moon overhead. We got back to the house around 10'ish and then it was shower time and soon some horizontal lab.
Today will be another full day as we have to be in Tampa around 9:30 for 10AM opening to the gardens and then its a birthday party for the twins with several folks coming throughout the afternoon, LATER
