Well Tuesday started out on the nippy side once again but did warm up enough to work outside in the warm sunshine before lunch and after pickle ball. I did my usual morning routines that start with some quiet moments to honor my Lord, give thanks for another day and lift up several by name for comfort and healing after posting this ramble. It was a well before 6 rollout to start the day and I finished up my morning talk with the Creator on the way to the Rec while riding my bike. We had 6 good players but were missing a couple regulars but the play was great and lasted until 10'ish when I called it a day and pedaled home against a breeze.
Nancy was at her eye check up which she received good prognosis since seeing some lights a few months ago. The doctor said she was in good shape in that category, now if she could just lose a few pounds she will be in better shape. She is taking a product which is supposed to help called GOLO. I'm not a bit supporters of these "miracle weight loss" supplements which I think is just a money maker for some folks. I think eat less, eat well and exercise moderately and stay away from sugar which has helped me lose about 10-12 pounds since coming back from the cabin. I can go at times weeks with out dessert but when something comes along like this coconut cake from Bobby's I can not resist it, especially coconut which I loved as a kid in the Mound or Almond Joy bars, oh well.
Amy and Tyler were leaving around 2'ish for Naples to watch Ava and Keswick play in a basketball finals so we had to pick Sam and Eliza up from school and take them home. Nancy stayed with them until it was time to bring everyone here for supper and then she went back and stayed with them until they got home somewhere around midnight. Ava's team won over a school which eliminated them last year. They won 60-45 and now will play for the state championship in lakeland which is some what closer, only about an hour away as compared to 3 hours from here to Naples.
Nancy made tacos which the kids love and as do I using a combination of ground beef and venison which they love as well. She also had made fresh chocolate chip cookies for them but they had so much Valentine's candy at school they held off until after supper. I passed on them because I still have some of the leftover cake in the fridge which is decadent, oh well. I did transplant some of the lettuce seedlings in to some larger areas of the garden so they can expand as well as resowed some half runner bean seeds where the pole beans were planted. They didn't do well this year which didn't bother us as we love the half runners.
I worked outside in the front yards pulling a 5 gallon bucket of weeds which has taken over the front yards. I do see lots of new grass growth as well but must keep these blooming weeds from setting seeds so I take a small shovel and pry them loose to the roots. Its a back breaking job but you can see the results after an hour or so, LATER
