Tuesday Morning Nov 15th

 Well this month is half gone and turkey day is just a week or so away and then Christmas will be here before you know it. Time just flies as you grow older but its a blessing when I think of all my classmates and USAF buddies who are no longer with us. I'm still able to run and play, hike and garden plus do most every thing from earlier days just not as long or as often, oh well.

I started the day with a 6'ish roll out to my routines that start with honoring GOD with some quiet moments after posting this ramble and finishing up while riding my bike to the Rec for some two hours of pickle ball. We had a mixture of A and B players but I was able to stay on the court for the whole time despite pairing up with some B players. I try to help them with pointers and some instruction as we all started out as beginners. At least we have players that can chase the ball which is better than being by yourself.

I piddled around in the garden and yards after getting back from the Rec as Nancy was off as I was getting home. She is finally doing some work out which she needs to help straightening out her achilles and keeping it in shape as well as to help with burning some calories. We finished up some leftovers for lunch and then while I digested I headed in to watch some WW 11 history documentaries on You Tube until it was time to get ready for company coming at 5 for supper and then card games.

I did transplant more pink tomato seedlings as some thing ate the the leaves from the earlier transplants. I now have sugar peas popping through the ground and the original purchased roma tomato plant has tripled in size. It seems it should be blooming in the next week or so. I'm still getting that intolerable spreading grass in the gardens despite digging it up daily when it shoots through the ground, so I guess to control it is by digging it up as the weed killer only kills the top shoots, oh well. I did dig up several weeds that were blooming in the front yard and trashed them instead of mulching them for a change.

We had baked salmon, broccoli and a crunchy salad for supper with some leftover cake and ice cream for dessert. I stayed away from the sweets but did have a glass of vino before eating along with Sheri. She and I love our wine but no one else partook. I'm down 6 pounds and trying for 10 since I got back as its so much easier to add than subtract. The gals took 2 out 3 Euchre games after losing the first game in a blow out. We guys must learn their signals, LATER
