Well Friday was the start of the high heat coming back into the area with more humidity, but still the early morning and late evenings was quite pleasant to be out and about. 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, all seem to be holding with this post.
I headed out to the Rec after picking a couple of green tomato's and cutting a nice large head of romaine lettuce for a Canadian couple who I have befriended on the pickle ball courts and who in return brought me a fresh baked loaf of sour dough bread last week. We seem to have a real barter going on and we have now chosen sour dough as our bread of choice even before she offered a loaf in exchange for the veggies. I got in a good hour and half of play before so many were waiting it was no longer good to win because all 4 players had to exit the courts, anyhow I was whupped after playing a couple hours each of the last 5 days this week. I'll sure miss this game when we head out to the cabin in about 8 weeks.
I came back and piddled around in the gardens and yards hand watering and then harvesting lots of leafy greens and cleaning them for the salad bowl while Nancy was at her doctor's check up appointment. We were taking a large fresh garden salad to the Nymark's at 5:30 for supper and cards. The food was delicious with a couple of pizza and lots of finger foods and then we settled into actually 2 games of hand, knee and foot. The guys were so far ahead in the third round of the first game the gals conceded and wanted to start a second game. Well they were far ahead until the last round when we guys came from behind and blew them out of the water and again it was so bad for them we never even counted up the score. It was going on 10 when we decided to head home and we dropped off the Botbyl's.
I soon hit the shower and was ready for some horizontal lab as it was past my bedtime. Today we head over to Brandon and then Plant city to watch first the twins and then Gabe's baseball games, LATER
