Thursday Morning April 27th

 Well Wednesday was another dry and rather warm day with temps close to 90 by the late afternoon. Not much happening except the daily routines that start with a before 6 rollout to my quiet times after posting this ramble to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing. All are holding as I make this post. I headed out to the REC on my bike for two hours of pickle ball play and then headed home to piddle around outside in the gardens and yards hand watering and hoeing some weeds that always seem to grow wether it rains or not.

Nancy took off on her bike for a change to the REC to work out on the treadmill as the paved streets reflect the heat while hiking through the 'hood, so the a/c at the REC is much better for working out walking on the treadmill. After she got back and I had finished hand watering we cleaned up some leftovers for lunch and then I read the afternoon away finishing a great read of a true story during WWII and the campaign in the Philippines against the Japanese and this soldier survived to tell his story. Its titled A BRIGHT AND SHING SUN by Marcus Brotherton. The story has much of the atrocities done to Louis in the book UNBROKEN when he was also captured also by the Japanese

We had a meat less supper since we had leftover burgers and dogs for lunch and I wanted to try one of the volunteer butternut squashes I had grown in the side garden and it was delicious to say the least along with some yellow rice and broccoli. After the clean up we settled into the Ray's game and they loss again on an error that gave up a run. The bats were cold for most of the game or right at opposing players. That's two losses in a row at home when we had 13 in row for wins to start the season, oh well, LATER
