Sunday Morning Mar 24th

 Well Saturday turned out to be another busy fun filled day with nice weather except for a slow drizzle at the T-ball game for just a few minutes and then a nasty 10 minute rain shower at Gabe's game in Plant City. But over all it was blue skies and with plenty of sunshine and short sleeve temps. I had started the day with my usual before 6 rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet time to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name. All seem to be holding as of this post.

We headed out around 8 for Brandon to watch the twins play t-ball with son Bobby the coach. What an interesting bunch of 4 year olds who elected to play on his team. Some are very dedicated and a couple could care less about playing, but all are so cute in their uniforms which is really for the parents although Huck and Ryder now have badges in their uniforms for the fridge like big brother Gabe(bubby). We left the field and headed directly over to Plant City Recreation compound which is huge with several ball diamonds and soccer fields. The traffic to and from there on I -4 is like a parking lot on all 6 lanes. That area which was once agriculture has now become a bedroom community for Tampa and the traffic shows it.

Gabe won the first game and was starting the second game when we arrived. They blew a 7-2 lead before the rain storm which caused a 30 minute delay with a wild pitch and then some bad pitching. They eventually lost that game by a run. They will again play today but we won't be able to attend, first because of church and second because its over an hour and half away. Hopefully they play better with their pitching tactics.

We got back to Seminole around 1:30 and had a lite lunch before I settled into some college basketball and then Brian and Nancy came to give us a list of things he will need to remodel both bathrooms while we are gone this summer. Personally I like them the way they are but HGTV and Nancy want them remodeled which is going to cost big bucks. The good thing is Brian will do the work over the summer and we won't be there in his way and or be exposed to the mess. Anyhow he is a master remodeler as we have seen some of his work and is a church friend from way back when their son and Bobby went to school together at IRCS. I'm sure this will be the last time for me on any major remodeling here at the Seminole house. It will be a good selling event if and when we sell out and move to N.C. which I'm sure the way things are in this world we may have to, to be safe. Oh well thats down the road.

We all headed up the neighbor Dan and Carol's for a delicious supper of pasta, salad and crusty bread. Nancy Ellen brought a peanut butter pie from Yoder's which was delicious as well. We then played a game of hand and foot and the guys smoked the gals and then a game of Euchre and guys smoked the gals in that as well. All in fun for a change as they have been whupping us the last couple of times we have played. It was going on 9 when we called it a night because of church today, LATER
