Well Saturday turned out to another beautiful winter day here in Florida with mild temps and clear blue skies with tons of bright sunshine. I started the day with a 5:30 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 by name for comfort and healing. Grand daughter Ava Mae is healing and was at the game last night sitting on the bench with another injured player. More on that later.
I headed out to hand water the gardens and to harvest a mess of collards and some black cherry tomato's to take with us to visit old dear friends James and Ann who moved away to near the Brooksville area which is about 80 miles or so north of us on 20 acres with their son and his family. They actually live in a structure which resembles and at one was a barn. It's very nice and comfy inside and fits them perfect as she is a want a be farm girl who loves gardening and they raise chickens for their eggs of which they blessed us with a half dozen for both the Nymark's and us. We rode with Sheri and Steve and had a grand time as we first met at a barbecue house for a delicious lunch of gizzards for me and a sandwich for Nancy. A little pricey but delicious for a country eatery.
We headed out to their place and James took Steve and I on an ATV ride around the back roads near their place. They are out there with huge fields of horses, cattle, goats and even Llama's. Their place at 20 acres is the smallest around with some places in the hundreds of acres and majestic homes. We had a grand time catching up and they are diehard Believers as well. Their son and his family with now a brand new grandson live just a few hundred feet north of them on the same land. James is now retired whereas his son still practices physical therapy at a local hospital. He and our dear friend from the mountains are both doctors of PT and went to school together, what a small world. Jamie is out on the west coast applying her skills and who now has two kiddos, whereas Michael now has three.
We got back around 6 and headed out to Keswick shortly thereafter to watch the girls team win the district basketball championship against a tough team by 30 points once again. Poor Ava missed this game and another scheduled for Thursday night at Keswick which we will attend. It was after 8 when w got back home and it was shower time for me and then some ALONE time on the TV before lights out at 10, LATER
