Well Sunday was an awesome day of worship both on line and with our own SRBC. The weather was very nice compared to the last two Sunday's with warm temps and lots of sunshine and after church we met up with dear friends the Nymark's for lunch or brunch at a swanky eatery in Clearwater. More on that later.
I started the day much the usual 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. The lists get longer each day it seems, but all are holding as of this time. We had a lite breakfast before settling in to watch Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg at 8:30 and then we headed out around 10'ish for our local church. There was a huge crowd with mostly seniors but we did see some younger families attending which is a great thing. It was missions week and once again a pastor from Argentina brought the message and it was a great one as well as the one we heard on line. We hugged a lot of folks and shook many hands both coming and going as we worked the outside doors and welcome desk for any first time new comers.
We hurried home afterwards and met Steve and Sheri who were already out of their church and drove to Clearwater for our reservation at the Island Way Grill. My oh my the number of folks in that place both inside and out was mind bogging and the many types of food was unbelievable. I stayed mainly with seafood starting with raw oysters on the half shell from Virginia, boiled shrimp, crab salad and some some sushi to start with, then I moved to baked salmon, shrimp and grits, roast beef and finally some bacon and quiche. The last trip was for some small desserts. Needless to say I waddled out of the place as did everyone else. We dined for over an hour as it was buffet style and you could go back as many times for as much as you wanted. Everyone else did the same with different plates of what ever suited their tastes. It's pricey at 37 bucks a person or so but very delicious and quality dishes especially the oysters which were shucked in front of you and oh so tasty.
After that late brunch it was going on 3 before they dropped us off and it was time to vegetate until around 5 when I headed out to hand water the gardens. I never put another thing in my mouth except for my pills around 5 and I'm still full this morning as well. Thankfully I'll be on the pickle ball court this morning in hopes of working off some of these calories. I watched some hockey, college basketball and some "mountain men" show on the the TV before calling it a night around 10:30, LATER
