Well Tuesday was a busy fun filled sports day that started around 7:15 AM and ended around 8 PM as we traveled to Lakeland, Brandon and then finally home before 9. Wow what a busy day and we went or I went from pickle ball, to girls basketball, then flag football and finally with baseball with the twins before heading back to Seminole. It was a fun day and one grand parents love being with and watching their grand kids perform on the court and on the fields.
I started the day with my usual before 5:30 rollout to my morning routines that begin with some quiet moments to honor my lord, Jesus, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing. I did lose another high school class mate but everyone else seems to be holding. Haven't heard any word on whats going on with our "mountain moms" funeral arrangements as of yet but we do know she will be buried next to Roy in Winston Salem, N.C. We will not make the trip but some day hopefully will do a grave site event as we did with her years ago after Roy passed. Everyone else is holding as of this post.
I headed to the Rec for a good hour and half of top rate pickle ball play with all good players and managed to win every match and left whupped with a wet head and shirt. It was still overcast and wet from all the rain on Monday so I didn't have to water the gardens but did have a lite brunch of and egg and avocado sandwich with a sliced garden fresh tomato on sour dough bread which held me until we picked up Culver's around 6 in Brandon after leaving Gabe's flag football game which his team won by 40 points.
We headed to Lakeland and found this majestic sports complex which was unlike any venue I've ever been too. The Keswick girls basketball team was playing a highly ranked team from southern Florida and wow were they ever great on the court with their play. It was a blow for them against our team in the semi finals of the state championship. Our team played hard but were over matched by these scholarship girls who were recruited through out the country and with the first year coach, it showed by the final score with a 30 point win over our girls who have played together for years. It was a feat to finally get to this game in the championship game for the state in our division. We had a great turnout of fans with over a hundred in attendance whereas only a handful for the other team, oh well. We did win in the department with fan support.
We attended Gab'e tournament round in flag football at Belle Shoals school and he played awesome with receiving several scoring passes and they only gave up a score with just seconds to go in the game; it was a 46-7 win for them. We brought Gabe with us from the game and picked up some fast food on the way to Bobby's where we ate and then headed to the ball field to watch the twins play. We stayed for 4 innings then left as it was getting cold out and we had another hour to get home in the dark and the traffic. They were losing when we left for Seminole and the ride wasn't too bad with no back ups on the interstate for a change.
I grabbed a shower and then some ALONE time before lights out at 10, LATER
