Well Thursday turned out to be a typical Florida winter day with cool temps to start the day and by day's end it was still very pleasant outside with temps in the low 70's. I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my routines that start with some quiet moments after posting the ramble to honor my Lord, to give thanks and to lift several up by name for comfort and healing. All seem to be holding as I make this post.
I headed out on my bike to the Rec and finished up my morning talk with the Creator on the way. I played for over two solid hours of good play with all good players and left with a wet head, wet shirt and whupped. It was a struggle against the wind to get home and then I head out to hand water the gardens and front yard. That critter that has been eating my kale at nights has now turned on to eating my half runner green bean plants so I decided enough is enough and ordered some rat poison through the internet. I need to stop it and its buddy's now. I put Sevin dust on the kale and that stopped them from eating those plants but now they are attacking my beans and thats a no no, oh well.
We were heading down to Bradenton to watch Ava's basketball game so we decided to eat our big meal around 1:30. I grilled deer burgers which are so delicious and have another one leftover for today's lunch. We picked up Amy around 4:15 and headed down to Bradenton Christian School which has a beautiful campus south of the Skyway bridge. The traffic was horrible going down but had cleared out on the way home. Rich and the two girls Megan and Brooke came to the game and their neighbor is the coach of the girls basketball team we played. What a small world. Tammy was at a business meeting so she didn't get to see the game which was a barn burner and we won with just seconds to go after being behind in the final minute of play. Ava played great on defense and missed a couple of shots but her passing and rebounds were great which helped with the win. We beat this team earlier this year by 30 points but they came to play last evening. It was after 10 by the time we got home and dropped them off after a stop for some food for Ava, Amy and Nancy, Later
