Thursday Morning April 20th..32 days to go

Well April is moving along at a nice pace as we look towards leaving hot sunny Florida for the cool mountain cabin towards the end of May. The 21st is the target date for leaving so we have been busy with doctor appointments and Nancy had a major one yesterday with a heart stress test which she passed with flying colors. Praise be to GOD for this outcome.

I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my routines that start with some quiet time after posting this ramble to honor my LORD, give thanks for another and to lift up several by name for comfort, healing and safe travels as Bobby and Katie return back to the states tomorrow from Spain. All are holding as I make this post and we get daily pictures from Bobby. I headed out on my bike to the Rec for an hour or so of pickle ball play as Nancy wanted me to drive her to the stress test at 9:30.

I came back home after checking her in as it would be after 12 before I was able to pick her up. They allowed her to do the treadmill instead of the nuclear chemical test which made her feel even better about the test. All of results were great as the heart is fine after suffering that knife in the chest feeling a couple weeks back. It's her hernia and Gerd I believe that caused that pain from what she eats, oh well. All is well that ends well.

I piddled around outside hand watering whats left of the garden and found where a rat chewed up 3 of my large green tomato's on the volunteer plant over night so I set more rat poison out hopefully to deter them and kill those pests. The other plants are setting more fruit despite the sad look they are presenting from the heat and dryness despite daily watering. I did harvest a nice mess of kale and take to my one gal who is suffering from breast cancer and who works at the Rec. The new sod is showing green shoots and the weed killer is killing a few weeds but nothing like the bag promotes for killing 250 types of weeds, oh well.

I watched the Ray's play an afternoon game in Cincinnati and they won again in a shutout game 9-0. They will be home this weekend against the White Sox's and I'm going to the Sunday afternoon game with family. Hopefully they continue as the best team in all of MLB. The Lightning play again tonight in Toronto after winning the first game 7-3, LATER
