Well Tuesday was another busy day that started with a well before 6 rollout to my usual routines that start with some quiet time to give thanks, honor my Lord and to lift up several by name for comfort and healings. So far all are holding. I headed out on my bike to the rec finishing up my talk with the Creator. It was a beautiful morning with the sun shining and the birds singing. I got in two hours of non stop pickle ball play with some really good players and left whupped with a wet shirt.
I stopped off at the library for a new read I had ordered by a new author Brad Thor. I'm just about finished with the 6 book series by Carr. I came home and Nancy was off once again with Sheri and Carol shopping at Costco who have memberships there. We just have Sam's Club which is close as Costco is 30 minutes or so away. I worked in the garden transplanting some volunteer squash plants and some radishes from the side garden but first I harvested a mess of collards and cleaned them for the pot. I cut up hickory smoked bacon, an onion a couple mountain grown jalapenos and garlic kernels and added a box of chicken stock to the pot with the cut up collards and brought in to a boil and them reduced the heat to simmer with the lid on for the next couple of hours. This pot was delicious when we ate it around 5 along with some fresh oven fried fresh fish from the gulf our neighbor blessed us with; grouper and snapper filets. Fantastic meal and oh so good for you. Our neighbor goes out with his buddies into the gulf and is always blessing us with some of his catch.
I was driving neighbor Dan to his doctors appointment around 12:30 so Carol could shop with the girls. We were back around 2'ish then I settled into giving the gardens a hand watering and then watching some documentaries before eating this delicious supper. I have enough fish left over for a sandwich the next couple of days as I love cold fish with mayo and onion. We headed out for S.R.B.C. where Keswick was having their elementary Christmas program as the auditorium is large enough to hold all of the parents and grand parents. The place was packed with several hundred folks and the program was delightful as the kids portrayed the Christmas story. It was an hour long program and we were back home a little after 8.
I tuned into the Lightning game and they were blowing away their opponents from Seattle who has a great record. Lightning won 6-1. I had showered and was soon ready for some horizontal lab after the game, LATER
