Tuesday Morning Dec 12th

 Well Monday was a busy fun day that ended with our life group from church having supper at our neighbors and then down to our place for dessert and games. We had 10 of us there and we had lots of laughs and got to know each other a little better.

I started the day with a before 6 roll out to my routines that start with some quiet time to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift several up by name. All are holding as of this post. I headed out on my bike to the Rec. for two hours of pickle ball play with good players and left whupped with a wet shirt. The storm from the night before brought in much cooler temps and a strong breeze and it was a job pedaling the bike into the wind on my way home. I piddled outside in the gardens hoeing, weeding and feeding the new seedlings. Everything is looking good thus far and I potted up two more tomato seedlings from old seeds I had stored from prior gardens. Not sure what they are but will find out if they make.

Since we were having a group later in the evening Nancy put me to work doing some extra cleaning, vacuuming, etc. Everything was in order for serving desserts of which she made two. Cheesecake two days in a row will not be good for my weight loss effort but I did eat lite the rest of the day prior to supper time, Oh well such is the season for sweets and fancy eating. I'm still around 190 but hoping to reach 185 as my ultimate goal and its hard to do the older I get. We had such a fun time and we played 3 rounds of "hand and foot" teaching the game to a couple who had never played before. The gals won which made for easy living as well.

We did a dirty Santa gift exchange which found several gift exchanges by some and it was a hoot. Nancy got back one of the gifts she bought for the occasion and I ended up with some pop corn, hot chocolate gift that I will give to the grands. It was going on 10 before we called it a night as everyone was getting tired, some more so than others. We missed Ava's game and tonight we have Eliza's concert at SRBC, so its another full week of activities, LATER
