Well Thursday was a busy fun filled day that had a little bit of everything and ended with Ava's team winning big in their first regional tournament championship game at Keswick. I think they won by 35 points or more. Ava played well on both offense and defense.
I started the day with my before 6 rollout to my usual morning routines that always start with some quiet moments to honor my Lord, give thanks and lift several up for comfort and healing after posting this ramble. I headed out on my bike around 7:30 to the Rec finishing up my talk on the way with the Creator. We had a full house with mostly good players and I left whupped on my ride home against a strong head wind.
I grabbed a quite snack of a banana and some peanut butter to give me some energy then headed out to mow the back yard and then harvested a mess of leafy greens for a senior couple who attend all of the girls basketball games. Alice and David are such a sweet couple and all of the girls and their parents just love them as do we. They tell us the team is their family as they have none here locally and all of the players are always hugging them and making them feel so loved.
Nancy was off to her S.R.B.C. Bible study with neighbor Carol until close to noon when she got home. She fried up some bacon and we had BLT's for lunch which were delicious to say the least. I hit 184 this morning after getting back from pickle ball which is a milestone for me. I'm down from 202 to 184 but that number fluctuates. I'm staying below 190 constantly which is good. I would like to reach 180 but Nancy says I look too gaunt in the face, oh well. I'll shoot for 185 constantly which is good since I've lost much of my beer belly. She is on the GOLO which is an expensive mixture of stuff to loose weight but the big thing is eat less and watch the carbs and stay busy. She is back to walking the hood daily which is a plus.
Well Keswick played a team from south Florida and it was 22-2 to start the game as our defense played great stealing the ball and making their layup's. Ava didn't start since she is a 10 grader but did play in every quarter making great shots and assists as well as rebounding. She is one tough player and her team mates love her. We got back in time to watch the Lightning finally put a game together against the defending Stanley Cup winners the Colorado team with a 5-0 lead in the third period. It wasn't long after a hot shower that it was some horizontal lab for me. Nancy is a night owl so I didn't hear her come to bed, LATER
