Tuesday Morning Jan 24th

 Well it got cold again and the stiff breeze made it feel even colder than the 50's which started out the day and evening. I know 50's is a warm trend for some but in Florida with a northern wind its cold and so we bundled up to go out to Ava's basketball game around 5:30. I started the day with my usual routines of a before 6 rollout to some quiet time after posting this ramble to honor my Lord, give thanks and lift several up by name. All seem well as can be expected due to ages and health issues.

 I headed out on my bike to the Rec and on the way finished up my morning talk with the Creator. I got in two hours of constant pickle ball play and since I hadn't played since Friday I soon felt it on the way home in the chilled breeze. I piddle around in the gardens and noticed once again all of the rat poison had been eaten so I refilled the trays and set them out around the back yard. This time I added some old mole poison pellets as well I had stored for ages. I must have a family of rats to have eaten so much of the poison and to keep cleaning the trays two nights in a row. I'm anxious to see if they ate it again for a third night.

I didn't do much after a lunch of leftovers except read the afternoon away. I finished a Patterson book titled BLOWBACK which started out awesome but as it progressed I lost interest as it seemed far fetched. He usually writes down to earth despite fiction but this one ended out there, oh well. I have a new Brad Thor book titled RISING TIGER which seemed to be a page turner about China. We had leftovers for supper and then headed out to watch the JV and Varsity girls games at Keswick School. Both teams won big by 30 points against the all black girls teams. Our Ava played hard and scored as well. It was 9'ish before we got back to the house on this chilly evening so it was a hot shower for me and then some documentary on the Farmland until lights out a little after 10, LATER
