Friday morning May 3rd

 Well we are counting down to departure on the 19th if plans work out, so its becoming a little more busy with some preps and lists of things to do and to purchase for the bathrooms remodel while we are gone. I started the day out with a well before 6 rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet times to honor my lord, JESUS, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name. Eddie seems to have recovered some what and everyone else is holding. We speak with Helen daily and she seems to be getting stronger and is doing O.K. in rehab. She says Rick, her son is bringing her back to Florida until and if she gets better enough to go back to her cabin. Which I think is doubtful for awhile.

I headed out on my bike for the Rec around 7:45 and played pickle ball for nearly two solid hours with out a break as we had all good advanced players in attendance. It left with a wet head and made a stop at the library for a couple new reads. Seems it getting so hot after lunch about the only thing to do for the next 4-5 hours is stay inside and read or watch You Tube videos which I throughly enjoy, but a good book is also nice.

We are getting back into upper 80's and low 90's in the afternoon which makes it too hot to be outside unless your in the shade and I did that for an hour or so soaking my feet in white vinegar and listerine which supposed kills any foot fungus. Afterwards I headed in inside to read until time to head out and pick up neighbor Dan and head to our last mens Bible study meeting, which turned out to be a delicious steak dinner with baked tater, baked beans, Cole slaw, tater salad and a light dessert all of which cost us 5 bucks, Wow, what a feast and before the eatin' began we played a couple games of corn hole and I was on for the first time in 7 months and beat my opponent 21-4, wow. Its been a while and I'm looking forward to more play this summer since pickle ball will probably be out up there again unless I can get players to play in the morning.

Well it was shower time when I got home around 8:30 and watched a little of the "mountain men" show on the ROKU and then lights out at 10 for me. Nancy has to be driven to her endoscopy this morning , so no pickle ball play and then I see a dermatologist after lunch for a follow up. The VA cancelled all of my appointments until next November, but I'll see my civilian primary care doctor on the 15th. I'll need a blood draw next week for that so I'll be busy spending big bucks at Lowes's and trying to fit in all the suppers and get togethers in the next 15 days, LATER
