Well Friday turned out to be another hot sunny day after a very pleasant morning that found me outside on the pickle ball court for two hours with three other good player. What a workout and I left whupped with a wet shirt.
I had started the day with my usual 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 by name for comfort and healing. All seem to be holding at this time. I headed out on my bike to the REC and while it was the day when lots of beginners filled the inside gym with players, 4 of us headed outside in the crisp morning air to play the game. We had great rallies and I was able to win with different partners through out the morning. I was able to play 5 mornings this week and hopeful will be able to next week despite the heat coming back into the air. The afternoon reached 90 for the first time this year as we drove back from Tampa Bay Downs around 3:30.
We met up with the Nymark's after Nancy got home from her chiropractor visit which now has turned into another big issue according to him; more on that later. We headed to the horse racing track in Tampa to buy some horse feed but was entertained in the process with 6 or so races. I believe there was 10 but we only stayed for 6 and while I didn't bet or pick any horses, Nancy did all the choosing. None of them won despite her picks. Sheri bet on horses to show which meant they would come in either the first, second or third place. She won a few bucks using that method while Nancy bet her horses to win. Like I say we bought some horse feed but it was fun to say the least and Sheri had some deal with Groupon that got us in, some special seating , a 2 buck bet and 5 buck snack, plus a program all for 8 bucks each. Not a bad deal.
After we got back from the track I hand watered the gardens and then settled into reading until supper time which was grilled onions and peppers along with marinated chicken breasts, black beans and rice. What a feast and I have enough left over for a lunch, today. After the cleanup it was some laptop time before a hot shower and then some ROKU TV in the bedroom before lights out at 10, LATER
