Saturday Morning Mar 15th

 Well this month is half gone already and we draw closer to leaving for the mountains in a little over two months. I'm looking forward to the hills and the cabin as well as old friends and neighbors there. The weather here is still quite nice with moderate temps and very little humidity thus far but its coming no doubt about it. The garden is still thriving and producing as I once again loaded up one of our supper friends with both collards and kale last evening. We had our community group here for supper and then some Bible trivia; the gals out answered more of the questions than we did among the 12 of us. The food was excellent and plentiful as well.

I had started the day with a 5:30 rollout to my 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, healing and for safety especially the school group from Keswick who are now in France. All are holding with this post and we received a picture of Ava with her friend Landon in Lyons, France. I headed out around 7'ish for the Rec and got in a good workout on the pickle ball courts with various partners winning most of my matches before heading home around 9ish to hand water the gardens and put up the new solar lights on the front of the house along with new house numbers. I'm just about complete with the make over except for a new side door and a new front storm door and then painting the front door a different color to coordinate with the blue paint on the house; which I believe she and our friends have chosen peach in color, oh well. White is my choice but I'm not the host of HGTV which seems to be the way to go these days.

I spent the afternoon helping Nancy get ready for our evening supper get together with 12 folks here in this small house. It was manageable and everyone had a good meal as well as fun answering questions about the Bible. We are all except for Nancy and Brian members of SRBC who were once the leaders of this group, but have since moved to Pasco County to be involved in our church plant there. They all left around 8:30 and then we put the house back together.

This morning we have to be in Brandon which is an hour away at 9 AM to watch the twins play ball and will get to see son Bobby and the rest of his family as well. It will be another busy day as we visit Lowes on the way home and decide on doors and purchase the new paint for the front door, LATER
