Well one week from this morning we should be on the road north to N.C. I'm ready as the heat and humidity are heavy here in central Florida and no rain. The grasses are brown and crispy and yet a couple plants I still have in the gardens are surviving with twice daily waterings. I'm still getting a couple 'maters every other day and still have a dozen or so green ones maturing. I harvest them on Friday and get them ready for the travel on Sunday. I have a couple volunteer tomato plants I'll bring as well which I believe are the cherry ones and plant in the mountain garden.
I started the day with my usual well before 5:30 roll out to my routines that begin with some quiet moments to honor my lord, JESUS, give thanks for another day and to lift up several for comfort and healing, all seem to be holding. My friend Terry who is 70 and is going to be a new papa with twins as his wife is 35 years younger than him, picked me up in his Tesla and we headed to St.Pete to play pickle ball. That turned out to be a bust as no one was at the indoor courts and the outdoor courts were packed. So we enlisted a couple older gals from the outside courts who were waiting like us (and headed inside to play for an hour) which gave us a little workout and a wet shirt. Anyhow I was home by 11 and then I headed to Lowes for the new glass shower doors, one of which the box they were in was damaged. I hope the doors are O.K. as they were special ordered, oh well. Tyler came over and helped me to unload them into the garage.
After lunch I settled into some news on the war in Israel and then did some piddling chores around the house and this coming week it will be a total non stop chore to get packed and get the bathrooms empty so our friend Brian can remodel them this summer. Today Sunday will be our last visit to SRBC until next fall as the Wednesday and Thursday night events are cancelled for the next couple of weeks. We will have our small group meet on Monday at Carol and Dan's place for supper and last get together for awhile. This evening we are hosting Amy and family as well as Betsy and Gus for a mothers day meal and then on Tuesday for Amy's birthday with a supper and then we are through hosting until we get to the mountains when they will come on the next Saturday and leave Rocky for about 2 weeks, LATER
