Thursday Morning Dec 15th

 Well Wednesday was another busy fun filled day as I first played pickle ball, worked in the gardens, entertained grandson Sam for lunch, went out to supper at a local barbecue house with two other couples and then came back and played cards until 9 with these couples By the way the guys beat the gals 2 straight games of Euchre after being down big to start both games.

I started the day with a before 6 roll out to my usual morning routines that start with some quiet moments to give thanks and honor my Lord while lifting several up by name for comfort and healing. All seem as well as can be expected. I finished up my quiet time on my bike ride to the rec for two hours of pickle ball with really good players and came back and worked in the gardens until lunch time. Nancy picked up Sam from school as Tyler was at the dentist as he was finished with his exams, so he was thrilled to be having a piece of grouper and some shrimp salad for lunch that Nancy bought the other day at Costco. He loves seafood and seldom gets it with the family as Ava is allergic to all seafood from her young days with amalgam filings and the mercury in them. Tyler picked Sam up after lunch and his tooth repair which will needs a crown.

Nancy was off once again Christmas shopping and then picking Eliza up from school and taking her home. I read the afternoon and watched some documentaries. We were picking up Dan and Carol and meeting Sheri and Steve at the local Willie Jewels barbecue house for a delicious supper of 3 meats; brisket, ribs and chicken with two sides which Nancy and I shared. It was plenty and a bargain. We came back and settled into Euchre and while gals were rubbing it in we came from behind to win on the last hand twice. We got to rub it in and then we played a new game for them called Smart Ass which is a question and answer game of where am I, what am I, and who am I. Nancy won and I was second in a close match. Lots of laughter.

Tonight we are meeting up with some old friends we met at the Christmas concert who we hadn't seen in 25 years and going to their house for supper and games. Should be a fun evening once again, LATER
