Well Friday saw us with some wet ground finally and the grass seemed to just soak it all in and greened up almost over night. It will take a lot more rain to bring back many burned up lawns in the 'hood but mine where I've been watering is looking decent. The gardens sure loved the rain despite the hand watering twice a day.
I started the day much the usual with a well before 6 roll out to my routines that start with some quiet time after posting this ramble to honor my LORD, give thanks and to lift up several by name, all are holding as of this time. I headed out to the Rec on my bike for two hours of pickle ball play with a mixture of good and average players. I managed to partner up with several different players and helped them with their game as well as winning every set. I was whupped when I headed home to piddle around outside in the gardens turning over the weeds with sprung up from the rain. Nancy was at her morning Bible study group and got back around noon. We had a salad and then I settled into a new read titled LIFE ON THE MISSISSIPPI by Rinker Buck. What an interesting true story about traveling down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans on a hand built flat bottom boat like the early pioneers did in the 1700's.
We were walking up to the Botbyl's for supper with them and another couple we know from church; Nancy and Brian Walters. Their son Aaron and our Bobby attended I.R.C.S. together back in the days and he also became a pastor. They came for supper and brought us a game called "hand and foot" which is hard to explain but is a card game which you play as teams. The gals were winning until the last hand which we guys won. It took us about two hours to play the game and the scoring is the most complicated part of the game. We decided to do it again next Friday at our place and play the game again.
Well we tuned into the last inning of the Ray's game and they won once again over the White Sox's 3-2. We head over to Brandon this morning for Gabe's game and then to the Ross's for a birthday celebration dinner for Ava Mae who turned 16. It will be a family affair once again, LATER
