Tuesday Morning Feb 28th

 Well February is gone and we are one month closer to leaving for the cabin the last of May. I'm so looking forward to the change in both temps and ambiance. However yesterday was a beautiful day with moderate temps and lots of sunshine with low humidity. I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my usual routines that always start with some quiet moments to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and lift several up by name for comfort and healing. Some have made great gains in their recovery of health and some are still holding. I finished up my talk with the Creator on the bike ride to the Rec a little before 8 where I played PB for 2 solid hours.

Sister Dee and Mike also came and played the whole time and really enjoyed the play as well. She and I actually won a set together and she mentioned that was the first time she had been on a winning team the whole morning. It was a good workout despite the play being not as good as with A players but I enjoy helping those who are learning as I taught tennis for years before becoming a PB player which I fine to have less stress on the knees, plus in doubles you don't run as much. I think it calls for more quickness than tennis.

I came back and hand watered the gardens, harvesting huge messes of leafy greens for neighbors and one for the gal at the REC and a huge mess for us as Nancy was making Zuppa soup for supper which requires lots of kale. The tomato's or at least a couple have been harvested from the Roma's which we add to the salad bowl. The new lettuce seedling are almost really for harvesting as the old plants are being used up. I mowed the front yard as the weeds were getting large and I did notice lots of new grass growth as it spreads to some of the bare areas.

After lunch I settled into reading the afternoon away until Mike and Dee arrived around 3'ish . Today will be their last day here before heading back to Woodstock, Va. in their camper trailer. We played some cards while the soup was cooking and then settled into a delicious supper of soup, salad and crusty bread with apple crisp and vanilla ice cream for dessert. Wow what a feed. They left shortly afterwards as they still had some prep work for an early morning start, LATER
