Saturday Morning Nov11th... Veterans Day

 Well Friday was a busy day that started out with a before 6 roll out to my morning 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. I got word that a neighbor in the mountains passed away overnight. He had suffered severely with that awful disease alzheimer for a couple of years and went down hill fast. George was a fine feller and would often come by to just sit and visit before he slowed down.

I headed out on my bike to the Rec a little before 8 and got in a good hour plus workout until too many beginners showed up to play which is OK for a few but just too many at one time takes away from your game. I headed out for home and then began working in the back yard and gardens. I transplanted some radishes I had grow in a pot into the side garden proper and then a couple of tomato seedlings in the same row that I will eventually once they start to leaf out transplant into a larger area of the garden. I had so many seedlings come up from the seeds I had saved from last winters garden that germinated and did not want to throw them away. I next transplanted some cucumber seedlings into the garden along with some kale seedlings and then hoed all of the plants already in the ground for a week or so. I'll soon have lettuces next week for the salad bowl despite no rain. Thankfully the well is doing great thus far.

I came in from the gardens with a soaked shirt as the day was getting hotter by the moment. It must have reached the upper 80's or more by the afternoon which kept me in the house after a lunch of cheese and crackers we brought back from Ashe County that is made there. Delicious and so creamy. That held me the rest of the day as Nancy was off with sister Betsy shopping once again. She decided she wanted a frozen pizza that she doctored up with fresh mushrooms for supper and with the last of the romaine we made a caesar salad to accompany. I watched all the news channels and videos on the war in Israel and they are kicking butt in the middle east. They need to totally eradicate the vermin called Hamas and Hezbollah as well as Iran and Yemen who are behind these Islamic terrorists.

Well after supper I tuned into the FOX network for a change for an hour then headed into to read until shower time at 8. Afterwards I watched some ALONE on the Roku until lights out for me at 10. This morning we leave at 8 for Brandon to see the twins in their last game of T-ball for an hour before heading home. We are heading to the Olive Garden for my Veterans Day free meal which we did last year with friends and the Botbyl's will accompany us again this year, LATER
