Well Friday was another gorgeous day with very little humidity and moderate temps. The morning was excellent much like a Carolina morning. I could get use to morning like this and we will in a couple of weeks. I started the day well before 6 as I wake up around 5'ish thinking of all I need to do before leaving and what needs to be done when we get to the cabin. I did my quiet times honoring my Lord, giving thanks and lifting up several by name. All seem well as I make this post. I headed out a little before 8 on my bike to the Rec for and hour and half of pickle ball. Today it was mostly B players but I worked up a sweat as I'm getting back into shape. I've dropped about 4 pounds thus far with no sweets except some dark chocolate thats 70% cocoa which is great for the prostrate. Its not really sweet but I'm having a couple ounces daily for medicinal purposes. I'm trying to lose some weight by staying away from baked goodies, desserts and eating less, so far so good.
I stopped off at the library to return a book before heading home to work outside for an hour or so hand watering the gardens what is left of it and the grasses. The tomato plants have really slowed down but I do have several green tomato's I think I will bring with us to the mountains along with a couple seedlings. I harvested a really nice egg plant and have several more on the plant to give away. The jalapeno's plant is producing and I'll bring several of them along as well.
After lunch I settled in reading the afternoon away. Amy came by with Ava and Eliza for a short visit. We are heading over to Tampa this Saturday morning to watch Sam compete in a jiu jitsu tournament. He quite capable and is tough as nails and loves the competition. Tyler was a wrestler in high school and helps Sam with his love of the sport.
The Lightning won on Thursday night in overtime and now moves into the final game against the Maple Leafs tonight. They are in Canada for this final game to see who moves on in the next best of 7 games. Hockey is one tough sport with real athletes compared to football and baseball players. I love watching the game but have never played it, LATER
