Thursday Morning May 30th

Well Wednesday started out rather chilly with temps in the low 50's and a strong wind that stayed most of the day which keep it cool and helped to dry out the ground from all of the rain over the weekend. I started the day with my well before 6 rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet time to honor my lord, Jesus, give thanks for another day and to lift up several for comfort and healing. All seem to be holding and Nancy as well is seemingly better with her BP issues as the new medicines are being cut in half which helps. 

We made a run to Sparta in the afternoon taking some garbage to the landfill, a library stop, then off to Food Lion for some items and then to Walgreens. On the way out of town it was a stop at the meat market for some bedding annual flowers and some silver queen corn and finally a stop for gas at 3.19 a gallon. Whew, some many stops but when you live 30 minutes away from town you group all of your stops into one trip per week excluding church on Sunday and lunch out afterwards.

I did some piddly chores around the gardens both before our trip to town and afterwards. We finished up the delicious grouper that I had fried a couple days ago along with some fresh spinach for our supper. We were expecting Jake and Katelyn to come by and pick up the mower so Jake could replace the drive belts on the transmission and on the mowing deck but he got too busy and cancelled.

 We did plant the annuals into some of the different flower beds after supper and then I settled into the Rays game on the internet and they finally won a game in the last innings. Rocky, the bull mastiff is having a great time here with the cool temps and his ability to roam freely out into the woods with out being on a leash. He eats great here as well and looks forward to his twice a day meals. Today is the oldest of my three sisters(cousins) Josie's birthday. I think she is 6 years younger than me so that makes her I believe 71, anyhow Happy Big Day, Kid, LATER
