Well it looks as if this eclipse held no surprises as the moon covered the sun for a few minutes. There were some big predictions but it seems as if it was just another day in time, sort of reminds me of those scammers on climate change and all of their dire predictions, oh well. I started the day on Monday with a 5:30 AM rollout which has me awake at that time daily now for some reason, so I get up and do my morning routines that begin with some quiet time to honor my LORD JESUS, give thanks for another day and then lift up several by name for comfort and healing. All are holding as of this post. We did speak with Helen and she seemed in good spirits unlike the last time we spoke with her.
I headed out around 7:30 on my bike on this some what cool morning to the REC for some two hours plus of pickle ball. It was a mixture of some good players with some intermediates but mainly I was there for the exercise and got plenty. I came home and piddled around in the gardens once again harvesting some tomato's and finding several the fruit flies had made their presence known. I buried at least a dozen they had ruined into the ground. I harvested some lettuces and then gave away another egg plant as well as more lettuces and tomato's last evening to some in our life group.
Nancy was in the house cleaning mode as we were hosting 10 folks for supper and then talk about Sunday's sermon with our life group. Our group had everyone at least once to the cabin over the years except for one couple whose son played in our Bobby's band back in the days when they were in high school, so many in our group go way back in history together. I helped with the house cleaning by vacuuming and some other honey do's.
I grilled burgers and dogs for the main entree and everyone else brought a dish to add to the plate; tater salad, Cole slaw and baked beans and Carole made a delicious lemon cake which I had top pieces. Lemon is a weakness for me and I just love it. Well it was after 8 before everyone finally left and we put the kitchen back in order and I hit the shower and then watched some basketball on the ROKU in the bedroom. I managed to make it through to half time but then it was lights out for me at a little after 10, LATER
