Well Tuesday was another hot and humid day here in sunny Florida with temps in the upper 80's, bright sunshine and blue skies. It was another busy day that started out with a before 6 roll out to my usual routines. I did my quiet time with my Creator after posting this ramble then headed out to the Rec on my bike for the first time in 5 months or more. Instead of the mountain top hike and talk with GOD I do it on the bike ride to the Rec for over an hour of good pickle ball play. We had several good players and then a few B players arrived but they mostly stayed with their own caliber of players which makes it nice for the rest of us. I occasionally fill in with them if they need another player for a foursome plus I like to instruct and give pointers for the game. I left with a wet shirt and headed home as Nancy wanted to make another grocery run at Sam's club.
I filled up at 3.11 a gallon but there is always a waiting line now to get to the pumps, plus the gas just across the street was at 3.43, what a difference in price especially if your filling up which I needed to do. We loaded up on meat with purchasing the major ones; chicken's both breasts and whole ones, pork chops, chuck roasts and ground beef plus a few other goodies. We like Sam's meats and some of their produce. I think we spent over 500 bucks in the last couple of day to restock the house.
I made a stop at Lowes which is just across the street from Sam's and bought several seedling's; collards, romaine lettuce, basil, a jalapeno pepper and a roma tomato plant. The price of plants is also out of sight with this inflation. On the way home with our goodies Nancy needed to stop at Publix again for some items before we got back home. It was lunch time so I settled into a peanut butter and onion sandwich with some celery on the side. I need to lose a couple pounds before seeing the doctor on Monday for a scheduled appointment. I'm hoping to drop a couple of these added pounds from this summer before then from pickle ball and working in the gardens in this heat and high humidity.
Amy was having us over for a supper of shepard's pie which was delicious. I held my self to just one serving and a small salad and one piece of bread and really I felt satisfied, instead of over eating and feeling stuffed. It was delicious but its time to get serious about these extra pounds. Fruit for breakfast and a lite lunch and stay away from the carb's or just one helping. Hopefully that works.
After getting back from Amy's it was time to watch the Lightning come from behind to win in a hard fought close game against a good Ottawa team and then it was shower time and some horizontal lab. I'm now in the bedroom with my own TV while Nancy stays up all hours of the night with her HGTV in the living room, LATER
Just some random pics from the summer now that I have them again for publishing.
