Well this month has just flown by especially as we have been so busy with basketball games at night, sometimes three in one week. Last nights game in Tampa was a bust for our girls as they were man handled by a well coached team with very good players and it was a big night for this school as well as many of their seniors were playing their last game. They definitely were a cut above our division but we kept the game close for the first period even taking a 4 point lead to start the game. That was the end of our good play as we were missing a point guard and ball handler which hurt the team and one senior, oh well. District playoffs start on Tuesday and we should win our district class of 2A handily.
I started the day much the usual with a before 6 rollout to my routines that start with some quiet time after posting this ramble to lift up several by name and to give thanks for another day. I finished up my talk with the Creator on my cold bike ride to the Rec for two hours of pickle ball. It was a chilly morning with temps in the high 40's and a stiff breeze which made the ride even colder. It eventually warmed to the upper 60's by lunch time and was pleasant out until darkness fell then it cooled off rapidly once again.
Nancy was off to lunch with neighbor Carol and a friend they knew from church so I piddled around the house doing some honey do's and then had a great salad for lunch. I harvested and cleaned another mess of the leafy greens to take with us to the game as there is an older couple who comes to all the girls games and everyone especially the players love them. They have no immediate family here so they have adopted the girls basketball team and really its the other way around. They are in their middle 80's. It was read the rest of the afternoon away until 4'ish when Tyler picked us up to head to the ball game in Tampa. The traffic is unbelievable this time of the year as tons of folks are here to escape the cold weather up north. Tampa and it surrounding are huge with new constructions and housing while roads are still clogged with traffic. It took us an hour and half to get there which was around 40 miles at most, oh well.
We got back to Seminole around 8:30 or so and had a small snack and then it was shower time for me and some documentaries before lights out around 10, LATER
