Friday Morning Jan 5th

 Well Thursday was a rather chilly day with over night showers and cloudy skies to start the day, but it eventually warmed up just a tad when the sun came out but that didn't last long and as evening wore on it got down right chilly once again. We didn't have the heat on as it was a damp chill, however after getting back from the basketball game around 8'ish  the house was nice and cozy compared to the gym.

I started the day with my 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 for comfort and healing. Ava is still having some double vision issues and she see's a doctor this morning to determine if she will need surgery to straighten out the problem. Hopefully it will do that on its own and she can get back to her playing the game. They sure could have used her in the first half as the team fell behind by 13 points but came back in the second half and won by 10. It was a close game until the last 2 minutes when the other team fouled a lot in hopes to get back in the game.

I got in an hour or so of good exercise on the pickle ball court with some good players but then just too many showed up on damp chilly morning and I decided since I still had some coughing issues to rest the body the rest of the day. I came back and had some breakfast then settled into some honey do's before spending the afternoon on the lap top watching Israel videos on the war  and reading until supper time. I didn't do anything in the gardens as it rained over night and the ground looked wet.

We ate some leftovers for lunch then had a frozen pizza doctored up with fresh mushrooms for our early supper as we watched to catch part of the middle school basketball game which they lost big to the catholic school in Tampa. They were a well coached team with team players and their varsity beat us last time as well in a close match. We play that school in a week or so here at home so hopefully that will make a difference as last time it was one sided in their favor despite our players coming from behind to go ahead at one time, oh well.

I tried to watch some of the NFL game but prime TV was not showing it and Nancy had the big TV in the front room so I watched the final in the ALONE show. Wow, was it ever a grueling cold final but the winner who stayed in the frozen north for close to two months walked away with a half million bucks, not bad for 60 days of being on your own and alone in a vast rugged landscape. I could have done that and would have loved to that as some of these contestants were not to smart. Country boys know how to survive, oh well its past my prime now at this age but I see myself doing many things different especially on procuring food by fishing and hunting, LATER
