Well this week has just flown by and so has this month. We are having a big Mother's Day luncheon here on Sunday with all the family so we are getting ready for that and then a Kentucky Derby party on Saturday at the Botbyl's again with some fine eatin' among friends. We continue with our departure count down to the cabin.
I started Thursday out with a well before 6 roll out to my morning routines that start with some quiet moments to give thanks and lift up several by name and to honor my Lord. All is well except I did lose an old friend I knew before I met Nancy who passes away. He was a couple years my senior and a stand up man. I'm still friends with a couple of his kiddos. Other than Ed's passing everyone else seems to be doing fine. I headed out around 7:30 for the Rec on my bike for a good two hour workout will all A players. I worked up a good sweat and was whupped when I headed home after a stop at the library for another Vince Flynn book.
I piddled around outside in the garden and yards until lunch time then settled into reading the afternoon away. It's really starting to become hot and humid until about 5'ish in the evening when the sea breeze makes it quite comfortable to be outside. Nancy baked a salmon filet accompanied by some fresh asparagus for our supper. I had an apple with some peanut butter for lunch and a can of V-8 for my breakfast. I'm trying to drop a couple pounds before we head out in 3 weeks or so. It's really been a tough job to do but I'm determine to do it before I get to the mountains. I don't need to carry this extra 10 pounds up and down the hiking trail as well as up and down the yards, LATER
