Well Saturday was a busy fun filled day that started with my usual before 5:30 rollout to 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 to be holding with this post. It was another chilly start to the day and Nancy once again had the heat on to take the chill out of the house; as for me I love it cool to start the day. It eventually warmed up enough to make it quiet comfortable to be outside as we headed over to Brandon to watch our twin grandsons play baseball. They are now using a pitching machine to bat from and get 5 balls to either hit or strike out. We scored 12 runs and won the game 12-9.
The game started at 11 AM and it lasted until around 12:30 and their team won as both of the boys got hits and scored during the game. Bobby is the manager/coach as is Gabe and two other dads. They have a couple of really good players besides the twins and have now won both games. We learned the next game for Ava's basketball team is at 1 PM in Lakeland on Tuesday and the twins play again that same evening so we will go to Ava's game then stop and visit with Bobby and Katie for supper and go to the twins game later in the evening around 6. That should be another busy day but we so enjoy the games of all of our grand kiddos.
We got back to the house after a stop at the Berry Barn in Dover for a late lunch of a hot dog and a strawberry shake which was made right from their field of strawberries. We bought a flat and will share them with family today(Sunday) at the birthday dinner for both Sam who turns 14 and Nancy who turns 68 on the same days. Bobby's family will come for pizza and salad from the garden and grandma Nancy is making a cake today after church and of course we will have the berries as some of the family are not cake eaters.
We headed out around 4:30 for our church where we were having a filet steak with all the trimming for a huge get together in honor of the 5 missionary families attending. The dining hall was packed with a couple hundred folks and the steak was fabulous and at a good price of 6 bucks a person. Each year this one butcher shop supplies us with awesome steaks and I think we purchased 250 filets. We have several grills going and of course lots of folks supplied the trimming. We didn't work it this year as we had too much going on but did attend and ate well.
It was going on 8 before we got back to the house and it was shower time for me and then some ALONE time on the TV until lights out at 10, LATER
