Well Saturday was a fun day that started with my usual well before 5:30 rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet times to honor my lord, Jesus, give thanks for another and to lift several up by name for comfort and healing, all seem to be holding with this post. I headed out after day break to hand water the gardens and to then spray some sealer on the walls of the house which is supposed to help with holding the new paint I'm applying to the house. We headed out around 10:30 for Keswick School to watch grand daughters Ava and Eliza participate in the finals of youth basketball of which Ava is the coach and Eliza plays like her big sister which is very aggressive. Their team had one of the best records during the year but lost the first game by one point and that made them with the best they could do with a third place finish after winning the second game big They just could not get any balls to fall in the first game. It was exciting to watch many of these players move up to middle basketball next year and then of course Ava graduates and moves on to college next fall. Hopefully she can play there and get over her injured back which kept her playing to minimal those last couple of games. She did play in the state finals for their division and the team that beat them won it all for the title. She is no doubt one of the top players for her team but injuries hurt her play down the home stretch.
After leaving school we made a grocery and shopping stop at Wal-Mart before heading home for a bite of lunch and afterwards I headed out to paint for a couple hours. I just about have all of the white trim finished on the house for at the first coat and will really get busy next week as the Rec is closed for the whole week which means no pickle ball and painting all day long. I'm hoping to finish up during the week and then order a couple a new doors as well as lumber to box in the front porch for updates that Nancy thinks we need as well as new front lights. She watches too much HGTV and is always coming up with changes and is about to wear me out, oh well. I truly love painting and now when ever I'm on a ladder she is right there supervising and giving me instructions and reminding me constantly of my age and how a neighbor nearly 10 years younger than me fell and broke his foot and I know she means well but I'm old enough and been around enough to know not to fall off a ladder.
I grilled peppers and onions and we had them along with brats also grilled for our supper as Amy, Ava and Sam all came to eat. Tyler had taken Eliza on a daddy/daughter event to the strawberry festival in Plant City to see and hear Lauren Daigle for the evening. We had a fun time with Amy, Ava and Sam as he turns 15 tomorrow on Nancy's birthday who turns 68, wow where did that time go. We visited and then they took off for home and I soon hit the shower and was watching some ALONE time on the TV until lights out at 10 for me. This pickle ball all last week along with the painting and gardening is at least keeping me busy and helping with getting back my stamina. We will sure miss all of our evening basketball games but now I learn we will be watching Ava play flag football a couple times a week and then Saturdays to Brandon to watch the twins play baseball. No grass growing under our feet.
In about 11 weeks we head off to N.C. for 5 months and I'm looking forward to the change in scenery but will miss seeing all of the grands weekly despite them all coming some time over the summer. Today is corporate worship day both on line at Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg and then with our local S.R.B.C. where Nancy and I will work the front doors greeting folks with hugs, smiles and hand shakes which I love doing, LATER
