Sunday Morning Jan 22

 Well Saturday saw us with some overcast skies and slightly cooler temps and just a sprinkle of rain in the late afternoon before we headed over to the Ross house to celebrate Eliza's 9th birthday with family minus Bobby and Gabe who had baseball practice. Katie brought the twins and Annsley for the delicious supper and celebration.

I started the day with a sleep in for a change as there was no pickle ball until after basketball season for the junior league which uses the gym on Saturdays so I didn't do much until later in the morning except social media and the internet. I did head out to work in the gardens hoeing and weeding as well as feeding every plant as it looked like rain. I did get my rat poison so I set it out in lids under the protection of some garbage can lids from the rain and any moisture. I'm hoping they chowed down on it instead of my plants.

I caught up with an old school classmate about a fellow football player who's family name came up in an article in the local paper from the Civil War era and learned he became a school teacher as well as did she who they graduated together a year after me. It was fun to chat via the internet after 60 years of no communication between us. She is also a retired school teacher at the same school we attended and is a grand mother as well and still lives near where she grew up.

I took a nice long bike ride through the hood for exercise and then ate the leftover deer burger for lunch before settling in to do some reading and eventually the Lightning game which I learned they finally lost on this 5 game road trip in Canada. The NFL game was coming on as we arrive at the Ross house and Tyler and I watched the biggest part of the game. It was a better game than anticipated with the Chiefs against the Jax Jaguars which I thought would be a blow out but the second NFL game which I thought would be closer was a blow out for the Eagles against the Giants. I actually cut the game off at the Eagles leading 28-0 and watched a documentary before calling it a night, LATER
