Thursday Morning Feb 13th

 Well Wednesday was another almost summer day with moderate heat and humidity and its getting more like a typical summer day instead of a pleasant winter day, yikes and its still February. The mountains are having an ice storms with tons of tree limbs and even whole trees down everywhere as we got word from a neighbor who lives on our road. Hopefully the cabin is safe and secure and maybe they can check on it later.

I started the day with my usual now before 5:30 rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet time to honor my lord, Jesus, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name. All seem to be holding and we visited Helen  our "mountain mom" in the hospital waiting to have her gall bladder removed this morning. She seemed in good spirits and was really for the operation but looked very frail and thin. She was on a liquid diet due to the surgery this morning. Keep her and our grand daughter Ava Mae in your thoughts and prayers.

I did another hour and half of constant pickle ball play with mainly intermediates but a couple of really good players were in the mix. I managed to win all of my matches before heading to the library for a couple of new reads before heading home to hand water the gardens and replants some bean seeds that never germinated. I picked another handful of ripening tomato's as well before we got ready to head to Sam's Club for some items and to gas up at 2.94 a gallon.

Once we got back to the house and stored our items we took off to visit Helen in the hospital until after one. We nearly had a wreck as some fool made a left turn right in front of us. Luckily I'm always wary of intersections and I was able to avoid hitting him broad side, that was a close one and the brakes locked up on the truck which helped. Well we got bak and decided to have our big meal of the day around 2:30 or so as we were attending our mid week church service at S.R.B.C.

I grilled lamb chops which we love and they were so delicious and along with a garden salad, some yellow rice and broccoli. After the cleanup I retire to the reading room until we left for church around 6'ish. Our small group after the service was very small with just 5 of us whereas its usually 10 or so. Anyhow after getting home around 8:30 I hit the shower and then was watching some ALONE on the TV until lights out at 10, LATER
