Well Monday started out on the chilly side with temps in the mid 40's but soon warmed up to the low 70's by early afternoon with tons of bright sunshine and blue skies. I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my usual routines routines that start with some quiet time after posting this ramble to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and lift several up by name for comfort and healing. All seem as well as can be expected. I headed out on my bike to the rec for some 2 plus hours of pickle ball with all good players for a change and left whupped. I finished up my quiet time and talk with my Creator on the ride to the rec.
I worked outside in the gardens and yards until lunch as there was no humidity and the coolness made for great yard work. We called and spoke with baby sister Dee for a few after a lunch of some leftovers. I headed in to read the afternoon away until 3'ish when we got ready to head over to S.R.B.C.to help with the Christmas event for kids in the foster care program. What an event it was; a complete dinner with ham's, turkey's, mashed taters, dressings, gravy. mac and cheese, salads, fresh fruit, and tons of desserts, etc was provided for these kids plus a program where they participated, and even wrapped packages were provided to them. This was the girls event and we had 3 of them plus two staff members at our table. Nancy and another lady plus myself where there to make them feel welcome and I was the host which meant I was the gopher for the evening. The boys event occurs tonight but we will not participate as we have other plans.
There were ton's of volunteers and we got to meet and know many of them as we worked the kitchen before hand, carving turkeys and ham's as well other chores. I even sliced two of my fingers which got me out of that duty but not too bad. Band aides took care of the cuts. We started around 3:30 or so and left some where around 7:30 after the cleanup. What a great event the church does every year for these kids and we had a great time for our first service duty with the church. I was whupped by the time we got home and in the hot shower. I watched the NFL until 10 then it was lights out for me, LATER
