Saturday Morning Dec 23rd

Well Friday was another busy fun filled day with the Ross grands and their mom our daughter Amy over for lunch and then once again cookie decorating and baking. They sure had a fun time and I could tell by their energy they had their fill of sugar cookies and they put a huge dent in the pot of Zuppa soup and crusty bread which they all love as well as us.

I started the day with a well before 6 rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet moments to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing. All are holding. We have a close friend of over 50 years who is needing prayers for healing who has some form of cancer that we just learned about. She was a bridesmaid in our wedding and was sharing to Nancy last night over the phone about her condition. Keep Judy in your thoughts and prayers for healing as well as several others too numerous to mention in this post but most are in the mountain community.

I headed out on my bike to the REC for two hours of pickle ball and an old friend and her sister came for the first time to play at our Rec and while she isn't an A player she did very well and it was great to hug her neck. We had good play to start before so many came that I left a little early. I had got there early so I had a good workout with a couple of decent players and left whupped. I made a stop at the library before heading home to work outside in the gardens and yards until lunch time.

After the Ross's left around 2'ish I settled in to reading and watching the war on video's from Israel. They are kicking the butt's of the terrorists and I can only hope and pray all are annihilated in the end and that the bunch in Yemen also get their butt's wiped off the face of the earth and then maybe that will shape Iran and their proxies up enough to be civilized again, but that is doubtful since they are muslim which is a farce to begin with and barbarian in nature.

Well we ate lite for supper with a frozen pot pie and some green beans since we had soup and crusty bread for lunch. I have enough leftover for a bowl today for lunch. The garden is holding as of now and I fed every thing with some plant food and once again hoed up the weeds which grow over night. I'm hand watering just once a day. I noticed I have a couple blooms on the cucumber vines and more blooms on the celebrity tomato plant. There were two plants in one pot when I bought it so I topped one plant yesterday and put it in the ground. I'm hoping that with root and give me another fruit bearing plant. I should have plenty of tomato's once they mature to give away and hopefully bring to the mountains when we come the last of May, LATER
