Sunday Morning Nov 12th

Well Saturday was a fun day and once again very dry and hot. Oh how we could use some rain but that not looking good in the future. I started the day with my usual before 6 rollout to my routines that start with some quiet times to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name. All seem to be holding since neighbor George passed away a couple days ago. We got ready and headed out to Brandon which is east of Tampa at 8 AM to watch the twins play in their last T-ball game at 9. It was a hoot and we so enjoyed seeing them learn a few skills and to which hand to actually wear the ball glove on as Huck came by to ask his mom a couple of times.

We spent an hour or so there then headed back to Pinellas to fill up at Sam's Club at 2.94 a gallon then headed home for a bite of lunch despite it just being around 11'ish. I knew we were heading to the Olive Garden for supper for my free meal around 5'ish. By the way they treated me very honorably as they did many of the veterans who were taking advantage of their offer. The meal was first class, hot and plentiful as was Nancy's meal. Our server was awesome as well and we tipped him generously.

I spent the afternoon watching some college football after hand watering the gardening until it was time to head out for supper. The Botbyl's cancelled on us as she came down with a head cold and will probably skip church today for the same reason. The church is honoring us vets as well after the second service with a luncheon for us vets and we only had to pay 5 bucks for our spouses or whom ever we brought with us. On Monday we are having our first small group meeting and dinner at the Walters House in Largo so we will be eating out again. So much for losing weight but I did get on the scales this morning before heading to Brandon and I was down 7 pounds. Now if only I can get that off and add a few more pounds to the lost it will be awesome. I feel it while playing pickle ball which cuts down on my ability to bend over or go after drop shots, oh well. I'm thankful I can still run and play and hold my own against players much younger than I, LATER
