Well you would never know its winter here as its been in the upper 80's during the afternoon with tons of humidity, so much so I spend the afternoon reading in the house with the a/c full on, oh well. It sure beats trying to stay warm with below freezing temps in the mountains. Tuesday was rather typical except for the evening when we visited with Sheri and Steve at their place for supper and cards and to celebrate neighbor and friend Dan's 71 big day.
I had a started the morning with a well before 6 rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet times to honor Jesus, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing, all are holding some better than others and some going down hill fast with severe health issues. I headed out on my bike to the REC for a great work out and some really good play with all A players and left after close to 2 hours of non stop play, winning most of my matches with different players. We play that winners split after each match so a couple doesn't dominate and its makes for good play. We have about as many women players and men and all are good players. I'm still the oldest of the group on these Tue. and Thurs. match ups but on M,W,F, there is a player a couple years older than me, but he isn't very good or active, oh well. At least he comes for some exercise at 82.
I came back and had a bite of breakfast with half an avocado and egg drizzled with olive oil and a slice of toast before we headed out to shop at Sam''s Club, Lowes and Publix. I filled up at 2.80 a gallon which is up from last weeks at 2.76, oh well. I'm looking forward to 2 bucks a gallon with all of the oil been produced with Trump's energy policies. The local gas was at 3.19 and I thought something is wrong because even at Sam's they had to be making a profit and the locals were ripping off consumers, oh well.
I bought some onion slips that are supposed to grow into vidalia like bulbs and transplanted them into the garden later in the afternoon when the heat some what abated, plus a cilantro plant. Everything in the garden seems to be growing and now I have radishes up and breaking ground in only 4 days, wow. During the afternoon I read for a couple hours and the true criminal investigation of a murder back in the 90's is starting to see some evidence pointing to the guilty. Its a great read but a long one as the two detectives are writing this story.
Well we picked up Dan and Carol and headed to the Nymark's at 5:30 for supper and cards. It was store bought lasagna, salad and key lime pie for dessert. Sheri's life long friend Sandy came alone as Jim her husband is not doing well with his health, so we played Michigan Rummy which is played alone instead of team play. Well Carol won both games which is tough to do but fun and you must be quick and thinking ahead of the various sets you need acquire to go down. It was 10 when we finished and headed home. I jumped into the shower as was in bed by 10:30 after an early morning rise, LATER
