Well the heat is back but with a little humidity, but not terrible yet and yes we have the a/c on now and will probably until we leave for the cabin the end of May. I'm getting excited just thinking about a change in altitude from this flat land to some mountains, hills and lots of trees, oh well and of course old friends we have made over the years. It will be different knowing our"mountain mom" Helen is gone but within the presence of the lord.
I started the morning with my usual before 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 and healing, all seem to be holding with this post. We had sister Dee and hubby Mike and their pup Sophie coming in the afternoon for cards and supper of which we each won a round of cards but the gals had the most points. I grilled a fresh salmon filet which was excellent along with some rice pilaf and home grown beets all accompanied by a garden fresh salad. Later after digesting for an hour we had some home made banana pudding which was excellent as well. A fav of everyone but Nancy who made it especially for us.
I headed out to the Rec at 7'ish for a good 2 hours of pickle ball play with mainly good players and left with a wet head and shirt. I sure wish I could drop a few inches off this spare tire but at least I'm getting plenty of exercise on the court and building back my stamina for the work coming up this summer in the mountains. I made a stop at the library for a couple new reads as well before heading home to work in the yards and gardens mainly hand watering both.
I did harvest 3 nice beets and got them ready for the pot for our early supper around 4'ish and later harvested two nice messes of kale for Dee and Mike to give to Kelly, their daughter and family as well as a mess for a friend at church later in the evening. Dee and Mike left around 6 and then w got ready to head to our Wednesday evening service at our church which was mainly about the Brazil mission trip that took 6 teens there for the first time. After the worship music they talked about their experiences and how it changed them and their love for the folks in that area of the world where Christ is becoming known with missionaries that our church supports.
We got back around 8:30 and it was shower time for me and then some ALONE on the TV before lights out at 10, LATER
