Well Friday started out with temps down into the low 40's, yikes, never thought it would get this cold again this winter, but it eventually warmed up to t-shirt and shorts temps by the early afternoon. I skipped pickle ball as we had grand parents day at Keswick School for Eliza and then we took her to Chick Filet for lunch and then took her home. It was a fun time and we got to meet her sweet teacher who is a plant and garden lover. I started the day with my usual before 5:30 rollout to my 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. We haven't heard from our "mountain mom's" son Rick about any arrangements here in Florida before she is taken to N.C. for burial. I'm beginning to wonder if we ever will hear from him again, oh well. We did so much with her every summer when he seldom ever visited her in the mountains but maybe on holidays, oh well.
After taking Eliza home we made a stop at Sherwin Williams paint store and bought the paint for the house and then made an Aldi's stop which is almost next door for some items. Aldi's is now packed with shoppers and they have the best sourdough break ever with just a couple ingredients whereas Publix bread has so many ingredients it makes we wonder if its healthy, oh well. After getting home I had a bite of lunch then headed out to hand water the gardens before starting to paint underneath the front porch ceiling. I painted until nearly 4'o'clock then cleaned up the brushes for the day.
I grilled some lamb chops which were delicious along with some parsley tatters and broccoli for our supper. While I cleaned up Nancy headed over to the Ross House and fed Rocky and played with him for a few as the family was in Naples to watch daughter Ava Mae and her Keswick basketball team play against a very good team. Well this team usually wipes us out every year in regionals but on this night we won by 5 points despite the referees being very favorable towards the home team. It became very obvious by the end of the game they were favoring them with the fouls they called against us and not them, oh well. We prevailed and now will go to Lakeland for the state championship on Tuesday. We got to watch the game that was live streaming for the price of admission if we went in person, plus we didn't have to travel for 3 hours coming back late at night.
I soon hit the shower after the game and was down for the night watching some ALONE on the TV until lights out at 10'ish. Today we go to Brandon to watch the twins play baseball at 11 AM and then tonight we have a steak out dinner at church for the missions conference, busy busy, plus I want to paint a little, covering up those samples we painted on the exterior of the house that we aren't going to use, LATER
