Well Easter weekend is upon us and for those who reverend Jesus, it is one of the most sacred days when our GOD rescues us from sin and gives us hope over death and for eternal life or for the unbeliever eternal damnation. Jesus is the gift, but one you have to receive, no strings attached just a belief in his love for us that he came to save the world and stand in our place for our sins.
I started the morning with my usual 5'ish rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet times to honor my lord, Jesus, give thanks for another day and to lift up to him, several by name for comfort and healing. I need to lift up both Nancy's brother and his wife who are in Michigan and both are having some severe health issues as both are in the hospital. Keep Eric and Dianne in your thoughts and prayers for healing. Everyone else seems to be holding with this post.
I headed out to the Rec on my bike as it was Nancy's Bible class and she needs the truck around 8:30 and it was pickle ball at the Rec until 10. I stayed until 9:30 for a change getting in over two solid hours of play and winning most of my matches with different partners. I really missed the Canadian couple Tim and LeAnn as they are gone for the summer and they were always the first to arrive and set up the nets and eager to play. I got there around 7'ish and was alone for the first 20 minutes so I set up a net in their place but them a few came in and we had some serious constant play for the next two hours. I left whupped with a wet head and shirt and then made a stop at the library on the way home for a couple new reads.
Nancy was gone so I got in some work in the yards and garden's mainly hand watering and harvesting tomato's and cucumbers and some weeding which is a pain, but a great sign your soil is fertile. I grow some great weeds as well as veggies and the soil is loaded with earth worms which is another good sign of great garden soil. I harvested a large mess of collard greens for my two garbage collectors when they came around to pick up my trash and still have more to harvest. I'm thinking about adding a mess to our Easter meal on Sunday when we have family over to celebrate the day with a ham dinner. Collards would go great with all the fixin's as well.
My neighbor who is an insurance broker/agent came over and gave me a quote on my next insurance contract for the yearly house coverage and he saved me 6 K dollars from what a company wanted to insure my old house. I did a wind mitigation and a 4 point inspection which costs me a 150 bucks but well worth it and it dropped my costs down from 11K to less than 5 K for the year. All of Florida is being held up for rates going up due to the last major hurricanes, but mine went out of sight and now its back to being some what reasonable. I've never put in a claim in all the 46 years I've owned this house, oh well.
Well we had fried red volunteer tatters from the garden along with a salmon fillet and some frozen peas and lima beans as we are trying to eat down the fridges and freezers as we get ready to be gone for 5 months starting the end of May. I headed out after supper to pick up neighbor Dan and we attended our mens Bible class at S.R.B.C. until 8'ish. After getting back I jumped in the shower and then some ALONE show on the TV until lights out at 10 for me, LATER
