Thursday Morning Nov 23rd Thanksgiving Day 2023

 Well this year is coming to a close with Thanksgiving being the start of the holiday season and of course New Years Day the end of it, albeit the start of a new year. Where has this time gone and now so quickly. I started the day on Wednesday with my usual before 6 roll out to my routines of a quiet time to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and all my blessings which are many for my age and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing. Speaking of my age about 1/3 or more of by graduating class have passed on so I'm a very blessed man that I can still run, play, work and have my faculties and thats just what I did around 8 AM. I headed out to the Rec on my bike for the half mile or so ride to play pickle ball for two hours non stop. It was a great workout with three other really good players and I left with a wet shirt and made a stop at the library for a couple of reads by J. A. Jance on the way home. I love the way she writes with great down home life experiences set in the modern day world.

I came back and since it had rained during the morning I didn't need to water the gardens but did move some plants out of pots in to the garden proper and then hoed everything. I'll say one thing my garden has rich soil because the weeds and grasses grow over night which require almost daily hoeing. I need to harvest lettuces and collards this morning to add to the salad bowl as well as move more seedlings into 6 packs from where they germinated. I love keeping busy with gardening and if all make we will be giving away veggies.

After lunch I headed into the computer room where I spent the rest of the afternoon watching the news from Israel on the effort to eradicate the terrorists Hamas as well as the USA bombing some terrorists who are supported by Iran who have been attacking US in the middle east. We saw where the bridge between Canada and USA had an attack which maybe the start of the home land being attacked by terrorists who have come in with the open borders by this inept potus and his administration led really by the first muslim potus in America, Obama. We must seek real patriots to lead the nation who love the USA and not their pocketbooks which it obvious Biden and his crime family are doing. I'm not sure if we will ever have an honest election again but maybe we need a revolution to take back the nation from our enemies like the democrats, China and Russia as well as north Korea. It unbelievably how we have not stood up to the wokers in the congress and this nation, Oh well.

Amy had us over for a delicious grilled salmon supper and afterwards a game of hand and foot. We didn't play the fourth round as the guys were whupping the gals and it was getting too late for the older kids to maintain their interests. We will have tons of folks here this evening for a turkey supper and all the fixin's. It will be a day of football as well. We did watch the Lightning lose in overtime but saw some good college basketball before supper, LATER
