Well Friday was a busy day for a change that started out with a well before 6 rollout to my usual routines that begin on this chilly morning with some quiet times to honor my lord, Jesus, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name and in thought for comfort and healing. All seem to be holding. I headed out early around 7:20 to the Rec for an hour and half of pickle ball play with 5 different partners and was victorious in all 5 games. I left with a wet head and shirt and didn't want to push myself too much, just getting back into the game, plus by this time another dozen or so less than advanced players showed up. That was one of the reasons I came early to get in some good play with more advanced players, anyhow it was a good work out and I seem to have regain my edge after being away for several weeks with my back and leg injury.
I got back some time after 9 and had a lite breakfast of some fruit which I now need to start doing each morning. I finished up some lap top work until lunch time and then headed out to hand water the gardens and harvest some lettuces and kale. It looks as if the garden survived these cold mornings with no evidence of frost which was great, unlike the mountains at our cabin which is covered in several inches of fresh snow and temps down in the single digits, yikes. We spoke with neighbor Shirley who sent us tons of pics and caught us up on the going on's there, since we left in October. Everyone is holding after some colds and the usual maladies that occur during the cold months. Nancy here is still coughing and the upper respiratory is still there but she is better after taking antibiotics and some OTC meds. She is still not totally healed but seems to be on the mend. Now our dear friend Sheri is down with the same stuff as well, and she and Steve are scheduled leave on a big boat next weekend for a couple weeks, oh well.
I started a new read and have about half of it read during the afternoon. I took my first power nap around 3'ish after nearly falling asleep reading for about 20 minutes. I've been busy catching up with Israel and the war against the barbarians in the middle east and also the devastation by the fires in California. The evidence is being exposed by the inept and corrupt democrats in that governing body and their disregard for the folks well being over their idiotic need to harbor criminal illegals and supply fixes for the druggies. The governor and the mayor should be indicted for these acts that left folks dead and homeless.
We headed out for Tampa around 5'ish after a delicious supper of a soup Nancy made, to watch our Keswick girls play a tough team from a catholic school. We were down at half time just like last night and rallied to win both games with just seconds to go. Our grand daughter Ava scored the last three points to put the team up by one point with just a seconds to go on the clock, she was at the foul line and made three out of four free throws. The officiating wasn't the best through out the game as they called twice as many fouls on us as the home team but the one foul towards the end they got right allowed us to win the game with Ava's free throws.
We came home in time to watch half of the college game and it was a close up until the end and the Buckeyes pulled it out decisively over Texas. The finals with be them and Notre Dame on the 20th neither of which I would have predicted due to their records, oh well on any given day and team can win, LATER
