Well Thursday was a mixture of fun, work and then visiting with family and ending with watching grandson Gabe and son Bobby winning their ball game in Brandon last evening. What a fun day. I started the day with my usual before 6 roll out to my routines that start with some quiet moments to honor my Lord and give thanks for another day after posting this ramble. All seem as well as can be expected for those I lift up daily for comfort and healing. Some have really improved as well. I headed out on my bike to rec before 8 finishing up my morning talk with my Creator. I had great play this morning and stayed for just over an hour of play, leaving with a wet shirt after winning several matches. I will play this week with just about an hour or so and hopefully next week stay the entire two hours for play as I build back my stamina and hopefully still have enough energy to do some yard work if this heat ever dissipates. It was another hot one yesterday and even at 8 at night it was still 80 degrees as we left Gabe's game.
I now have small lettuce seedlings breaking ground after just being in the ground 3 days. All of my seedlings are looking good and of course I'm hand watering at least twice a day with this heat. My new pump I installed last year is doing great with plenty of water coming from my shallow well. On our way to Tampa yesterday we ran into some rain but I don't think we ever received any here at home, oh well. This month is normally one of our driest months of the year. I'm getting the gardens worked up, removing all of the dead grasses and weeds which have no trouble growing here. I still have the small side garden to clean out and plant.
It was great to see the Triplett's grands and Huckson was so excited to see me when I picked him up at school. He was the most excited to see me as Ryder is a little more laid back. Anns and Gabe have put on a growth spurt and she is becoming a beautiful young lady and Gabe is such a handsome young man now at 12. His hitting and pitching won the game for the team last evening after a some what rocky start. He shut them down in the last two innings with no runs. Bobby and Katie are having their hands full of these energy full twins but they are so smart, sometimes too smart.
We got back home to see the Lightning lose in over time. After a shower it was horizontal lab for me around 10'ish. The traffic going and coming was just unbelievable and its like a parking lot on the main roads, LATER
