Well Friday was a busy day that started with a before 6 roll out to my usual routines of some quiet time with my Lord after posting this ramble to honor, give thanks and lift up several by name. One of those passed away yesterday but was expected as she has been terminal for days; but every one else seems to be holding. I headed out around 7:30 for the Rec despite it being very wet outside after a morning storm moved through the area. It soon cleared up enough to ride by bike and then the cold front blew in from the north with much cooler temps and strong winds. It is down into the 40's this Saturday morning.
I had a great workout on the courts and look forward to a day or two of rest but we will have three days off as the Rec is closed on Monday for MLK Day, oh well. I'll take a long bike ride weather permitting. We met up with the Nymark's at Cracker Barrel eatery for a delicious lunch. I had the fried chicken dinner and brought a piece home for lunch on another day. Two of us had the fish fry and one had the chicken and dumplings. It was a sumptuous meal to say the least and we were served nicely. Nancy had some tummy issues with the fried fish so we headed home instead of venturing out to check out the Nymark's park they are staying in. It seems now they will be able to stay in the park through the end of February as their renovations are being completed on their home a couple of doors down from Amy and Tyler.
I watched travel vlogs the rest of the afternoon and evening and found some really interesting and beautiful places on our earth as well as some interesting folks who inhabit it. We are a blessed nation and should think about those who want to destroy our culture and standard of living with their idiotic "wokeism" and socialist ideas. The fact our gov't leaders in the present administration is corrupt is bad enough but we still a chance to correct some of the idealism that is destroying us(a) with electing honest folks who care for the nation rather than their purses. America needs to wake up and hopefully this new house of representatives with some honest leadership will do that. We need to get rid of the MSM that promotes this current and corrupt administration as well.
Our youngest grand daughter Eliza who we call Lee Lee turned 9 yesterday and we will celebrate next weekend with a huge family dinner, LATER
