Well Thursday morning found me back on the courts for a couple hours after giving my left knee a rest on Wednesday and I played quite well with no pain, which is a blessing. I had started the day with a well before 6 rollout to my usual routines that begin with some quiet times to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name. I mentioned we didn't hear from our "mountain mom" Helen for a day and found out why. She had fallen and broken her hip and had emergency surgery at Elkin hospital where she is at present. Her son Rick must have flown up from Florida to be with her as we spoke with her last evening. She sounded strong and in good spirits but I doubt very seriously if she will ever be strong enough to live alone at her cabin. I hope she recovers enough at her age to be in no pain, oh well. Her younger sister Martha did the same thing and passed away a couple years ago. Everyone else seems to be holding at this time.
Nancy was off to her women's Bible class at SRBC so I headed out on my bike to the Rec with overcast skies and the threat of rain which it did pour at times during the morning. I got in a good workout after missing a couple days and the knee felt great which I some how tweaked on Tuesday. The ears are still blocked but not solid with moments of being open but I have a doctors appointment this coming afternoon to get them flushed out, despite everything I've done to help with getting rid of this ear wax blockage.
We headed out after supper to watch Ava play flag football at Keswick. It was a close game and the other team scored first but we rallied and beat them by 2 touchdown on another brisk chilly evening. The wind was so strong and after the sun went down it got down right cold.
All of the rain we got during morning kept the garden wet enough that I didn't have to hand water but did harvest another dozen or so tomato's and another egg plant and blessed neighbor Carol with it. I still have several small ones on the plant that should mature in a week or so. Well that was about it for a Thursday except I did watch the Ray's opener and it was not good as they lost to the Jay's at the Trop by 8-2 score. Not a good start for the opening of this season. The Lightning continue to win so they should make the playoffs despite not being the over powering team of last year, LATER
