Well its summer time once again with high heat and humidity and it was quite prevalent yesterday. I started the day much the usual 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 as well as the loss of several FHP retirees who have passed the last day or so. Some I knew and worked with over the 30 years I was a member of that group of proud LEO's who severed Florida with pride. Most of those I lift up daily are holding with this post.
I headed out around 7 AM for the REC for close to two hours of pickle ball play and exercise and left with a wet head and shirt after winning all of my matches with different partners. Many players are leaving as they are snow birds so the numbers on MWF are lessening and the wait on those days is decreasing as well. I still love playing the game even if its with some beginners on those days as I'm mainly getting exercise while loving the game and helping them with theirs.
I came back and hand watered the gardens then mowed the yards and piddled around outside while Nancy was off shopping for Easter baskets for the grands. Once again my shirt was soaked by the time I finished so at least I'm losing some weight by sweating just not the spare tire. I read the afternoon away and then harvested lettuces for us that needed cutting as the heat is taking its toll on them and then some collards for a friend at church which we took with us at 6:30 for our Wednesday evening get together. Nancy was off after lunch for her high price hair do over, which did look great as it took out all the grey, but still at 145 plus tip, yikes.
It was after 8:30 before we got back to the house from church and then it was shower time and some ALONE on the bedroom TV before lights out at 10
