Well Saturday was a total fun day with mainly family and it was a blast although it little hot outside as we watched a couple of ball games with son Bobby and family as Gabe was playing in a tournament. They lost the first game in the last inning but won the second game and now today Sunday they will play a single elimination game which could be two more games at most. They all came back to the house for a delicious supper Nancy had prepared a day ahead of lamb shepherds pie and a double chocolate cake as we celebrated both Gabe and Annsley birthdays.
I started the day with my usual 6'ish rollout to my routines that start with some quiet time to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing. All seem to be holding as I make this post. I had some fruit for breakfast then headed out to hand water the new seedlings and put them in the ground in their pots until they get established, then I put them in the ground proper. I decided to take a 5 mile or so bike ride through the hood to get some exercise which isn't quite like hiking the steep driveway but it did get my respirations up and gave the legs a work out. I came back and ran the vacuum cleaner over the whole house and helped Nancy with having every thing ready for when the family comes for supper after the ball game.
We headed out around 2ish for the ball park in Clearwater and wow what a nice complex but we were in the sun for most of the game. Thankfully there was a breeze and an over head covering that helped with the hot direct sunshine. Nancy and Katie with the boys headed out after the first game so us guys with now Tyler and Sam stayed for the second game which didn't finished until close to 6. Annsley also went with the girls and the little guys.
Well supper was awesome and has to be the most favorite of everyone as all the plates were cleaned and we had enough leftover from the two huge pans Nancy made to give everyone another helping for later. We also sent the cake home with the Ross's despite it tasting so good. I'm off desserts unless its a special occasion for awhile as I need to lose a few pounds. I'm already down a pound or two since getting home but I think that is water weight despite drinking lots during the day because of the heat. Well after Bobby gave the boys a bath they all headed out for Brandon and of course the Ross's live close by. Annsley was driving Katie big Expedition and Ava was driving her dad's truck home. Annsley is now solo driving so she is a big help in the mornings while driving her brother Gabe to school and then herself. Ava hasn't got her permit and has showed no real interest in driving alone. Sam and Gabe have just about reached equal in height and of course Leelee or Eliza still mothers the twins who are now maturing as well. It was great to see them and of course lots of hugs and they all love and enjoy each other.
After they all headed out somewhere around 8'ish we put the house back in order and I hit the shower and watched the World Series until 10. Arizona was winning when I turned in for the night but that was the same scenario last night but the Rangers won in the extra innings, LATER
