Well Monday started out with some fog and warm temps that left lots of moisture in the air but no rain despite a cold front moving into the area. It looked like rain for an hour but then the clouds moved out and it made for a good day for drying clothes outside on the line. I started the morning much the usual with a well before 6 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. Our son in law Tyler's mom is in serious condition in Kansas with breathing issues so keep her Cindy Ross in your thoughts and prayers as she is in the hospital. All else seem to be holding as of this post.
I headed out on my bike to the Rec for a couple hours of pickle ball play and got in a good workout. I'm hoping with less portions and these workout I'll keep dropping a little from the waist line. I'm down to the 190 area and even hit 189 yesterday morning but that varies from day to day but 190 is the goal for now and then I'm hoping 185 eventually. I'm hoping that also drops the LDL cholesterol as well as it was a might elevated on my last blood draw.
I came back and piddled around in the gardens until lunch time. I did lose another tomato plant I brought back from Bobby's garden and it was doing so well and then it seemed to rot along the dirt line and died. Not sure what that was but maybe either too much water or plant food was the culprit. Every thing else is doing well. I brought back my poinsettia plant I won in the tournament on Saturday morning and replaced the struggling geranium plant I had on the front porch. I put it in the garden proper to save it. That will add some Christmas color as I repotted it and added some new dirt. After a lunch of left over steak from the other night I headed on to the computer to catch up on the war in Israel and the IDF is taking it to the terrorists after they broke the temporary truce. Such evil barbarians all in the name of some fake prophet who have duped millions of folks who want to rule their life and send them back to the stone age while killing innocents.
Well Ava's team was playing ball at home around 7 and we were told the JV girls were playing around 4:30 so we headed out to Keswick only to learn there was no team coming to play at 5:30 which was really the starting time so we sat in the gym along with several other fans and parents until 7. The girls whipped this nearly all black team by 50+ points and they never score another basket in the second half of the game. The score was 69 to 13. Our girls played quite well as did Ava. She is so good on defense as well as scoring a little but she makes lots of assists to other teammates. It was going on 9 when we finally got home so it was shower time and then some TV before lights out at 10, LATER
