Thursday Morning Apr 10th

Well Wednesday was an unusual nice day with less heat and humidity as the front that came through and brought us so much needed rain, also brought much lower temps. Great after several days of high heat and humidity. It sort of reminded us of a cabin day in the mountains which hopefully we will encounter in about 50 days or so of which I'm excited about. I started the day with my usual routines that begin with some quiet times to honor Jesus, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing, all seem to be holding with post.

I headed up around 7'ish for the Rec in my truck for a good workout on the pickle ball courts winning most of my matches. Lots of snow birds have left and now there is no need to exchange 4 players after each game, as a matter of fact we only had 2 courts in action with only 10 players in attendance in 2 courts being used, wow what a change. Today I'll play again with mostly A players at 7'ish and they too are down as many have left for the season.

I came back and had a bite of breakfast before heading out to check on the gardens and hand water them before we headed out to Home Depot for the stain/paint for the new wood used to box in the old iron porch support post and the wood across the front of the porch where the iron railing use to be. Well, we or Nancy found one she liked so we purchased it and headed home so I could get started on the job which took a couple hours. I'll need to give it a second today. I also painted the new side garage door to match the house and then caught up on a couple small paint jobs as well around the new front storm door. It was a paint day at times using both stain, house paint and some trim paint so the brushes were constantly being cleaned.

I did harvest a nice mess of kale and collards to our neighbors who we have befriended after learning he has helped several of the neighbors with their insurance for both cars and house. Flo who is the mother in her 90's and who Nancy had spoken with several times along with Carol while at the mailbox and Tom her bachelor son live there alone. They seemed quite receptive of the fresh veggies and he had made it known he will help with the house insurance ordeal after a new company sent be an outrageous quote for house insurance, oh well.

We headed out to our local church around 6'ish for the Wednesday evening service and got back home by 8:30. I soon hit the shower and some ALONE time on the TV with lights out at 10, LATER
