Well Friday was a busy day as we started to really putting the house in order for the next 5 months. I worked outside in the yards and gardens as pickle ball was cancelled for the new summer camp program at the Rec. I did ride there around 7:30 and we got the word the gym was closed for us pickle ballers and the rest of the summer except on Thursday night and Saturday morning. I'm leaving at just the right time as playing outside in this heat is just too much, oh well.
I started the day much the usual with a well before 6 roll out to my routines that start with some quiet time to honor my Lord, give thanks and lift up several by name. All seem as well as can be expected. After getting back from the Rec I went to work in the gardens tearing down my tomato plants, pepper plant and kales. I harvested nearly a 5 gallon bucket of mostly green tomato, and a gallon of jalapeno peppers as a nice mess of kale. I bring all of these with us along with several tomato good size seedlings, jalapeno seedlings and a rosemary plant I started by a cutting as well as several marigold seedlings.
That kept me busy until lunch time then I helped with the house work as we get ready to leave in the early morning hours. There is lots of packing to do today and then Amy will cook supper for us this evening.The Tracy's invite us along with the Botbyl's to their hacienda for supper and to celebrate Kathryn's 67th birthday today. We had a Florida lobster(bugs) supper with pasta, Cole slaw and corn on the cob. Delicious and it's been years since I've had a lobster. Their daughter and husband go to the Keys each summer and harvest tons of them. We played a game of Euchre afterwards and guys whupped the gals 10-1 as Dan was on fire, LATER
I'll be away from this keyboard for a couple of days and hopefully looking out into the backwoods yard on my next post. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers for a safe uneventful trip over this memorial Day holiday.
