Well Saturday started out much the usual with a 5'ish rollout, seems I don't need as much sleep for some reason as I'm usually wide awake come 4'ish, some of that is due to Nancy's snoring but of course she doesn't believe that, even with my ear plugs in, oh well. I did my usual morning routines that start 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. All seem to be holding at this time.
I headed out to the Rec at 8 o'clock as it doesn't open until then on weekends for some really good pickle ball play. Two new younger men arrived who really were nice players and while I managed to hold my own with them, actually winning with them and then beating them with new partners. They were the best I've played against in some weeks and I hope they come back next Saturday. Since we don't go to Brandon for the twins baseball games as their season is over and they lost in their final tournament, so I'm back on the court on Saturday. These guys were 40 years younger and with such quickness, but I managed to win critical points which was exciting. I whupped out after 5 matches and headed home on my bike with my head and shirt soaked, oh well. It was fun to say the least.
I piddled around outside hand watering and harvesting some cucumbers and tomato's the fruit flies didn't ruin. I'm having to pick the 'maters before ripening or the flies destroy them and now they are even starting on the green ones, oh well. I'm dusting the cucumbers and that seems to help but now I need to start on the couple tomato plants again with Sevin dust as a couple of the side garden plants are still holding lots of green 'maters. I'll harvest a couple messes of lake and collards for church friends this morning and take with me to share at church.
I started a new read titled THE MOUNTAIN SHADOW its a sequel to SHANTARAM which was an awesome read authored by Gregory Roberts. Lot of the story is factual about his life much like an autobiography with the setting in Bombay, India. Its a real page turner and there are lots of pages with this book as well at over 800 pages much like the first book. I managed to knock out about a hundred pages in my first sitting and only stopped, because we had a dinner event at Amy and Tyler's with the whole family as we celebrated Ava Mae's 18 th birthday with delicious beer can chicken and other dishes, plus Nancy made our family favorite chocolate cake with white icing which is the best ever.
I skipped watching the Lightning finally winning against the Panthers in south Florida due to the book and its story, actually I didn't realize the game was on TV until later in the evening when we got to Tyler's house and he had other NHL games on TV. Speaking of TV and going to have to get a streaming device for the cabin as the local TV is no longer available but the internet will still be there. I'm leaning toward the Roku system and even using it here in Florid as the price of cable just went up to close to 300 bucks a month with internet, outrageous just to watch TV, oh well.
We got back from the birthday celebration around 9'ish and I hit the shower and then some ALONE on the bedroom TV until lights out for me at 10. Today is corporate worship day at S.R.B.C. where we will greet folks and make them feel welcome with smiles, hugs and handshakes. Praise GOD for the empty tomb we celebrated last Sunday with the Easter services, LATER
