Well the big storm predicted fizzled out which was a blessing but we did get some rain for most of the day and at times it did get heavy, but nothing like the weather folks warned us all about causing several cancellations for the weekend. Anyhow the rain was a blessings and most needed.
I started the day with a before 6 rollout that saw me honoring my LORD with some quiet time and lifting several up by name for comfort and healing. All are holding as of this post. I drove to the REC at 8 to play some pickle ball and since it was raining everyone else did the same because no play was outside to the rain and we had a gym full that caused me to leave early. There was a mixture of players and so many waiting that the rules changed where if you were winners you stayed on the court but split and with so many after every match 4 new players got on the court, which really was fair when you have that many waiting so I left around 9:15 but I did get in a good hour of play and some exercise.
Nancy was just finishing up her breakfast and had made extra sausage patties so I fried a couple eggs and had a couple patties despite eating an apple on the way to the Rec. That held me until supper except for some snacks around 1'ish. Nancy was making a huge pot of vegetable beef soup for supper and Bobby and Amy's family were invited as well. All came except for Ava, Annsley and Gabe. Bobby brought some vino and crusty bread which went with the soup and garden fresh salad.
I read most of the afternoon finishing up a great read by Jance titled MAN OVERBOARD. She writes a great story which has many turns and I find her fun to read and wonder where she is going with the story which really is basic reality and can be such a real life issue. I recommend her for very good story telling. The NFL came on and I didn't see it on regular channels except the the NFL Network which I didn't realize I had on this TV bundle. I was surfing the channels and stumbled on the network in the fourth quarter of the Vikings game and watched them lose in overtime to the Bengals and then had the games on the rest of the evening until 9'ish when everyone had left for home. It was still raining and not a nice night to be on the road but Bobby and Tyler are still young enough to be out in this weather and they both had long drives home and to pick up Ava at her boyfriends house in south St.Pete.
We put the house back in order as I had earlier rinsed all of the dishes for the dish washer and the boys got a bath before leaving for Brandon. They have grown and matured so much for 4 year olds and Huck is quite the prayer and story teller. They do have their spats but basically are sweet to each other and loving. Eliza mothers them when she is around and they love it as does Sam. The kiddos ate together in the kitchen and really get along quite nicely.
Well today is worship day at SRBC. I will work the second service greeting and door holding the main entrance. Afterwards we have been invited to the Botbyl's for lunch and then it will be some NFL time. Thankfully Bobby took the last of the cookies home for the boys and all of the desserts except for a couple buckeyes are gone which Sam and I had one after supper. It was shower time around 9'ish and then some ALONE time on TV before lights out at 10 for me, LATER
