Tuesday Morning April 23rd

 Well the schedule changed for today due to Nancy's UTI and being on an antibiotic, so no endoscopy so then I'll head back to the Rec for some pickle ball play. I started the day on Monday with a well before 6 rollout to my routines that start with some quiet time to honor my lord, JESUS, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing. All are holding. I headed out on my bike to the Rec for over two hours of continuous play with a couple of decent players as it was open play, many of those winter snow birds have fled the area back to the north so we don't have as many on the wait list to play and actually a couple waiting would have given me a rest at times.

I came back around 10'ish an piddled around in the gardens as it was rather on the cool side with a stiff breeze. It's supposed to be down into the 50's tonight here which is very unusual for this time of the year as just a couple days ago it was hot and humid. I actually sat outside after lunch in the shade reading for a couple hours. I hand watered whats left of the gardens and then cleaned out the fridge in the garage as the drain pipe was allowing water to collect in the crisper drawers.There was so much ice in the top of the freezer which wasn't allowing the drain to be open. Hopefully after removing all of the frozen foods and putting them in a cooler and letting the fridge dry out and all of the ice to melt that I've solved that issue.

I drove Nancy to a couple grocery stores getting what she needs to prepare another cake for daughter Amy on her birthday which we will celebrate before leaving on the 19th (which is her actual birthday) and if we get to leave with all of the health issues Nancy is having and the reschedules, oh well. We still have lots to do before and if we leave, much of it surrounds purchasing items for the bathrooms redo's and putting the house in order. Just to mention, the last cake she made for the youth fund raiser sold for 150 bucks and the buyer called Nancy said it was the best they had ever eaten.

I picked up the Botbyl's around 5:15 and headed up to the Walters place where we were having our life group supper and meeting. Everyone was there for a change except Cindy's husband Bill who had an issue at their house. Thirteen of us ate outside on their patio as it was that nice and actually very pleasant. Everyone brought a dish to share and Nancy Walters made the main dish which was delicious. We had a good discussion on last weeks sermon at church and then we departed around 8'ish. I came home and tuned on the Ray's game which was a blow out for the Tigers, so I turned it off. Amy called and said they purchased a new used vehicle and was bringing it by for us to see. It's a 2017 Toyota Highlander and it looks brand new and the grands were so excited to get it. Wow what a great buy for them and now it should be great for their ride to Kansas the end of May, plus they will have room for Rocky in the very back.

Well that was about it for this day so I hit the shower and watched a little of the Mountain Men show on the ROKU until lights out at 10 for me. Nancy seems to be responding to the pill for the UTI and hopefully recovers, LATER
