Well Saturday was another beautiful winter day with temps in the low 80's for the highs and maybe 60's for the low. It was another busy day that started out with my usual routines that begin with some quiet times to honor my lord, Jesus, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing. All seem as well as can be due to health and age issues. We headed out around 10:30 for Keswick school to watch grand daughter Eliza play intramural basketball and their team won by 20 points over another school team who are coached by the varsity boys and girls. Ava Mae has her younger sister, Eliza on her team and she plays much like her older sister. Lets just hope she doesn't gets as injured as much as Ava.
I piddled around in the gardens and harvested the last of the butter crunch lettuces and cleaning them for the salad bowl as well as harvesting some leafy greens for Amy and family who came by later in the afternoon. The heat is starting to take its toll on some plants as well as are the nematodes. I can see where the Swiss chard and the egg plant is suffering from their effects on the their roots which drain the nutrients from the plant and cause them to look like knots. Marigolds are a natural deterrent to them and while I have some growing I doubt they will be able to reverse their hold on the plants, oh well. March is usually when the heat gets so bad that most garden plants begin to die from the high heat and humidity.
We picked up Dan and Carol and headed over to the Nymark's for an evening of finger foods and games with 20 other folks. We met a new couple and renewed some friendships from past get togethers. I sat with 5 other folks who our son Bobby and daughter Amy went to school with their kids at I.R.C.S. They still attend church there but we never did. Anyhow we played hand, knee and foot and only 18 folks played with 3 tables of six. It was a hoot and the gals at the other two tables won but my table came from behind in the last round and won over some tough gal players. It was down to the last count and we prevailed with some last minute coaching by players who has already finished the games. It was after 10 when we finished and way past my bedtime.
We dropped the Botbyl's off then headed home to hit the shower for me around 11 and then some horizontal lab soon afterwards. It was a keyed up evening for me trying to sleep after that come from behind victory. Everyone is very persistent in their play and while we had a great time of fellowship the desire to win was evident. Today is corporate worship day at S.R.B.C. and then lunch out with two other couples, LATER
