Well Friday started out a bit nippy but soon warmed up to the middle 70's which was another perfect day with tons of sunshine and blue skies. I started the day much the usual with a well before 6 roll out to my routines that begin 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 of this post.
I headed out on my bike to the REC for two hours of pickle ball play and had a good workout leaving with a wet shirt. I got home and worked in the gardens until lunch time then settled into watching the news about the war in Israel. I did harvest a couple messes of collards as well as romaine lettuce and cleaned them and put a pot of collards on to cook during the afternoon. The other mess of collards I blessed a secretary at the REC who beat breast cancer and now is in remission. She loves collards and I gave her the first mess as well as pray for her daily.
The garden is doing as well as expected despite the lack of rain but the well is sufficing and keeping every thing green. I cut up a bag of romaine for Caesar salads and had one for lunch which was delicious. That has become one of my favorite salads although I do love the mixed greens with radishes and carrots in the mix with Nancy's home made Greek dressing with olive oil.
We had our some what big meal around lunch as we were heading to Tampa with Tyler at 4 to watch the Keswick basket ball game against a very good Tampa Prep school which is next to Tampa college and down town in the city. What a complex and they are building even more buildings. It was a close defeat but the ref's were very prejudice against out team and didn't seem to know what they were doing at times. It was the worst officiating I've ever seen and despite that at the end of the third period we had over come a 20 point deficit to be ahead by one point. After that it was our team against the other team and two ref's and we lost by 3 points, unbelievable. Katie and Annsley came to the game as they were doing a girls night out. Ava was outstanding on the court but the coach started a less competent player on defense instead of Ava which makes no sense, but this player's grand father is an assistant to the coach, oh well.
We got back to the hacienda around 8:30 and then it was hit the shower and some ALONE time for me on the TV. Today we are running errands and then spending the evening at home, I think as we have been gone every night this week, LATER
