Well Friday turned out to be another beautiful winter day after a some what chilly start. The temps reached the low 70's with tons of sunshine and then by late evening it started cooling off once again to sweater weather. Perfect with no humidity and no bugs.
I started the day much the usual with a well before 6 rollout to my routines that began with some quiet time to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift several up by name for comfort and healing. All seem to be holding as of this post. I headed out on my bike before 8 to the Rec for some 2 1/2 hours of pickle ball with 2 hours outside on the one court with 5 other good players and got in a great work out in the warm sunshine. It was close to 10:30 before I got back home to work outside in the gardens doing some transplanting of some seedlings and hoeing some weeds. I eventually hand watered everything and by then it was lunch time. Nancy had taken a morning hike as well and was ready for a garden fresh salad which was excellent. After lunch I vegetated on the laptop watching the war in Israel and then some survival video's that pitted man against the elements on an adventure of 4000 miles across Canada in canoe. Wow, what a video as he did something no one else had ever done during an almost 5 month journey fighting bugs, the rivers and occasionally wild life. It was self recorded using hand held Go Pro's cameras, etc.
I grilled some ground venison for our supper which was excellent cooked medium with some cheddar cheese on top and I had a bowl of collard greens that I cooked a couple days ago. They get better with age in the juice of smoked bacon, onion and chicken broth and some vinegar. After the cleanup we headed up to the Botbyl's to play cards with Steve, Sheri, Dan and Carol. Well, it was the night of the gals as they won both games of hand and foot for a change. That was a change as its usually us guys winning big over them. We got back to the house a little before 10 and I hit the shower and was soon under the covers for the night.
Today we travel down to south side St.Pete for Gabe's ball game at noon and then again at 4'ish. We will spend the day there for a change, plus its son's Bobby 43rd birthday as well. We will have all of the family here on Sunday for a big supper and celebration. Should be a great weekend but rain is expected for Sunday. This morning its so foggy out you can barely see down the street, LATER
