Well Tuesday sure turned out to be a very nice day that warmed up considerably enough so that Nancy having one of her hot flashes had the a/c on during our supper party with friends. The heat was on to start the day and now even though its in the low 70's she has the a/c running, oh well. I started the day with a well before 6 rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet time to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift several up for comfort and healing, all seem to be holding as of this post.
I headed out around 7:30 on my bike to the REC for close to two hours of pickleball play with some really decent players and got in a great workout after being away for over two weeks. I was a bit stiff as the afternoon wore on and by the time our last card game ended I was really for a hot shower and some horizontal lab. I was beat afterwards but played exceptionally well during the session. It was great to be back on the courts and I received many "well wishes" and "we missed you" and hope your doing better. I won every match with different players through out the morning. I made a quick stop at library to return a read then pedaled home to work outside in the gardens hoeing every plant and taking the suckers off the tomato plants as well. Everything looks great despite those couple of rather chilly days and nights.
We were having the Botbyl's and the Nymark's for supper and then cards so we spent the afternoon house cleaning which meant I did the vacuuming while Nancy did the rest. I did get in some of the news on the war in Israel and they lost 24 soldiers during the day, so sad and I'm sure those barbarians are raping the women hostages and killing them afterwards as well as torturing the few who remain alive.
Well the salmon filet was delicious along with the pasta, green beans Sheri brought and the garden salad as well as the fruit cake Carol brought for dessert was all very tasty and healthy. We had a little fruit of the vine except for Sheri and Carol and then after eating we played two rounds of hand and foot. The gals finally won the first game in a big way and then we guys sneaked in and won the second game in the last round. It was a fun time and going on 10'ish before we finished the game and they all left for home. I was whupped so I hit the shower and then was soon in bed around 10'ish. The wound on the shoulder seems to be healing with no weeping so I left it uncovered over night and it seems dry this morning. I'll apply some salve on it before I head out to pickle ball this morning, LATER
