Saturday Morning April 27th

 Well Friday morning found us at Keswick School for the Spring Music event for 3rd-5th graders of which Eliza is a part of and they did a great job both in coral and band. She will be a 5th grader next year and its hard to believe that Ava will be a senior and Sam a freshman. We left the school and ran errands to both Wal-Mart and then to pick up the third order of shower tile all the way north of Clearwater at a high cost compared to what I liked at Lowe's, oh well. Thanks to Betsy and her suggestions which get in the way at times.

I started the day with my usual well before 6 rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet moments to honor my lord, JESUS, give thanks for another and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing. All are holding with this post. We had to be at the school by 8:30 so we left around 8 as parking is hard to find with these school events. We saw some old church friends from BridgePoint whose kiddos attend there and it was great to hug their necks once again and catch up, albeit briefly.

We did some shopping at Wal-Mart then headed north to the tile place where we picked up 3 heavy boxes of tile and then made a stop on the way home at Sam's Club in Clearwater for a change. I gassed up at 3.26 a gallon and then purchased 3 sacks of solar salt for the water softner before we got back to the house and had a bite of lunch. I headed out to hand water whats left in the garden and harvested a couple of tomato's as well as an egg plant for our supper which was excellent. The rest of the day was spent watching the war in Israel and reading a James Patterson novel titled HONEYMOON. It's a real page turner as well with lots of intrigue.

Nancy was in the kitchen making a birthday cake for Ava Mae's 17th birthday party and supper today as we celebrate with family. We will attend a baseball game in Largo with Gabe and Bobby then the supper later in the evening with all of the family. Annsley will also attend after leaving work in Brandon and driving over by herself which will be the first time for her on the interstate alone. I tuned into the NHL game and the Ray's game in Chicago and they were losing once again to the Cubs 5-1 in the 7th. Their pitching needs some help in a big way, LATER
