Well summer time is here but not with avengeance yet, but close with temps in the low 90's, but the humidity is starting to appear more every day to where it will be miserable to be outside in a few weeks and hopefully by then we will be in the mountains. The mornings and evening are still comfortable with the steady breeze off the water. I headed out to the Rec on my bike for close to two hours of continuous pickle ball play with several different partners winning all of my matches. It was good play despite a few intermediates in the mix.
I started the day with my 5'ish rollout to my routines that start with some quiet moments to honor my lord, Jesus after posting this ramble to lift up several by name comfort and healing. We lost another sweet dear lady friend who we had known for many decades as a business and church friend. She had been in a nursing facility for months and passed at an old age in N. C. yesterday. Margaret with her husband Carroll ran the first Pizzeria in Sparta for years and we introduced them both to Cornerstone Church and both eventually became supporters there until their passings.
I came back from pickle ball and worked out side in the gardens and yards. I finally had to use some Sevin dust on the cucumbers as the little green worms were destroying almost every one. I'm still harvesting a couple a day and did harvest a mess of both kale and collards for an old dear church friend who we team taught a Sunday School class at First Baptist of Seminole for years and is from Kentucky originally and grew up on a farm. She helped me with getting rid of the big oak tree in the back yard and is a dear sweet gal.
I ordered new capacitors for the a/c unit and hope to replace the borrowed one from Dan and get him a new one in return. The unit is running great since Sunday and the loss of the old capacitor which left us sweating for a couple hours and the news my old a/c buddy has fallen down the old alcohol trail after a divorce. I'm saddened for him and the issues he is facing.
Well we headed up to the Dan and Carol's which is just a few doors up and met up with Sheri and Steve and had leftovers for supper. We brought ham and a garden salad and Sheri brought some leftover chicken and tatters and there was some shrimp salad as well as some vino they were cleaning out their fridge as they will be gone for several weeks traveling. We got into a game of hand, knee and foot and the guys were winning through out the game until the last round and we could not get our 7's and that of course is worth 5K points and we lost when we were ahead by 5 K going into the last round, oh well. It was fun and the gals were winners for a change. We headed home and I hit the shower and then some ALONE show on the bedroom TV before lights out at 10 for me, LATER
