Well Friday turned out to be another beautiful winter day in Florida with the windows and doors open to let in fresh air. The birds were singing and it was just beautiful after a some what chilly morning. The nights find us with cool temps and the days now are warm with plenty of sunshine. The frost did in my cukes and touched the beans but I think every thing else will survive until it gets really hot in April. The tomato's are growing but not turning yet which is what they always do. I gave away a sack of Swiss chard, kale, beet greens and jalapeno peppers as well as some herbs to first cousin Tammy and husband Rich who came for an afternoon visit from the Parrish area where they moved to from N.C.
I had a doctors appointment with a blood specialist at the Cancer Institute in Largo who elevated me for the blood thinner Eliquis and had me make an appointment for more blood to be checked on Tuesday. He seemed very through and concerned for my health and was amazed at my well being for my age. I felt good leaving there with his expertise and judgement. There were some sad cases coming and going among those who were suffering for ill health.
Tammy and Rich visited for several hours and we caught up all thats happening with me and with them. Their girls are beautiful and smart but Megan a college graduate is unable to decide which course of life she wants to take and Brooke is still at Va,. Tech in Blacksburg, Va. We got our new bed for the spare room delivered and set up and now just waiting for Dee and Mike to arrive later this month for a couple weeks. We decided to order Outback for supper as I had a card with 50 bucks on it so we ate high on the hog. It was good but not nearly as good as Nancy's cooking as my spare tire will attest to, LATER
