Well Wednesday was a fun day with a supper out at the Tracy condo in Clearwater where we met up with some old friends as well as met a new couple in their condo who was also a Viet Nam vet from back in my days. I went into country in 1966 and he in 1967 so despite I thought he looked older we are about the same age. It was a delicious Mexican theme supper with tons of food and some sangria as well. We dined and then sat around and heard war stories from several in the group but once I started sharing some investigations and how I completed them I was the star of the night. The stories just kept coming. It was a fun time and great to make new friends as well.
I had started the day with a before 6 rollout to my routines that start with some quiet times to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift several up by name for comfort and healing. All seem to be holding as of this post. I headed out on my bike to the REC for two hours of pickle ball play and got in a great workout before leaving with a wet shirt. It was still somewhat over cast and a chilled breeze kept it cool the rest of the day and into the evening when it began to rain. It's still raining lightly as I make this post which is much needed.
After getting back from the REC and having some leftover sausage gravy and biscuits which held me the rest of the day we headed out to Sam's Club to gas up at 2.94 a gallon which is up 50 cents from the last fill up and to purchase some goodies as well as few things on our list for both us and Amy. We also made a stop at Lowes and Publix as well for some seeds and some cilantro which the critter that has been eating in my garden at nights ate. We were taking guacamole and chips to the dinner party. I'm hoping the critter is a rat so I put out some rat poison under a cover to keep the rain off it and if its gone this AM then I know what I'm dealing with. I never heard of a rat eating leafy greens but I have seen fruit rats eating fallen oranges and grapefruit on the ground, oh well we will see.
Dan and Carole picked us up around 5:30 and we made the 30 minute drive in heavy traffic to north Clearwater and have some orderves and some sangria before dinner was served. The chicken enchilades were excellent along with yellow rice, refried beans and salsa and then she had her signature cheese cake with blueberry topping. Wow, what a feast. We left just a little before 10 and it rained lightly all the way home and the temps had dropped down into the 50's for a cool damp evening. I hit the hot shower and was soon in bed by 10:30 and I woke up to some congestion in my chest, but feel great otherwise. I took some natural cold remedies along with my regiment of vitamins this morning in hopes it doesn't get any worse, LATER
