Well Thursday started out very mild but eventually warmed up to the 80's with high humidity. It was a play morning on the pickle ball court for an hour and half and then work outside until lunch time. After lunch I chilled until it was time to see my chiropractor for a tune up which I now believe I'll do every month.
I started the morning with a 5:30 rollout to my routines that start with some quiet times to honor my lord, Jesus, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name and now once again grand daughter Ava has reinjured her back at practice and is in a lot of pain. She missed the game last night at school and a day in class as well. Pray for her for healing and comfort. All others seem to be holding with this post.
I got in a great workout on the court with all really good players, many of whom are much younger than myself but I was able to win most of my matches with different partners but by 9'ish I was finished as the stamina is coming back but not a 100%. The cold and cough really caused me a slow down but its coming back just taking longer the older I get. I'm amazed at the healing and ability to play and work hard again thanks be to Jesus.
Well after pickle ball I decided to straighten up the small tree in the front yard which I planted in the stump of the big oak a few years ago and it always leaned a little. I put the hose on it for an hour and devised a plan to tighten up the trunk pulling it up hill using a rope and then a floor jack. I could always move it a little by hand but could never keep it in place. So far its holding with a prop and a tight rope. Its not pretty looking but hopefully it will hold once I get it stable, oh well.
We headed out after a supper of salmon and pasta to Keswick School to watch the girls basketball team in a district title game demolish a team from Canterbury School by 30 points. The girls were all concerned about Ava as were many of the parents. Hopefully she can get back to school today as she is taking some college courses and can only miss a couple days of classes. She missed a couple days when she first hurt her back a month or so ago.
Well I hit the shower after the game and was soon watching ALONE in the bedroom until lights out at 10 for me. I'll be back on the court at 7:30 for hopefully an hour and half and then I'll help with getting the house ready for our supper tonight with two other couples from church. I'll do baby backs on the grill and then we will pull the rest of the supper and then play cards, LATER
