Sunday Morning May 11th..16 days to departure

 Well Saturday was a totally fun day that started 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 several by name for comfort and healing. All seem to be holding except we did hear that Dianne is home, but hasn't healed completely from all of her ailments which are life threatening at worst. I headed out on my bike to the Rec for a great workout for an hour or so with good pickle ball players and left whupped with a wet head and shirt. I came back and hand watered the gardens and back yard grasses and it starting to close the bare area which once held the big oak tree.

We got ready to head up to huge 70th birthday party about and hour north of us for Kathryn's 70th at their daughter beautiful gated community's club house which had a beautiful family pool. The ride took us an hour or so and we got there as Mission Barbecue was catering a beautiful luncheon of smoked brisket, pulled pork, ribs and smoked turkey breast plus mac and cheese, green beans, baked beans, Cole slaw and salad, what a feast. After the  delicious eatin' a very good cake was served later. The party was from noon to 4 at the club house but we left some where around 3'ish as the skies finally darkened and brought forth some much needed rain for that area, but none fell in Seminole, oh well. There were probably all totaled around 50 or so folks in attendance and we met the grand parents of one of Ava's classmates who is graduating with her, what a small world. Jo and Jim the grand parents once attended church with Kathryn and Patrick.

I did get in the pool with the younger kids and had a grand time swimming and playing with them for close to an hour. I'll get in two days of swimming this coming week as we stay over night at Bobby's place watching the twins and Annsley and Gabe while Bobby and Katie are off on a couple days to the Sarasota area with business and pleasure. We will pick up the boys on Tuesday evening from school and feed them as well as pick up Gabe from his school and then spend the night and take the boys to school on Wednesday and Thursday mornings after spending the days and nights with them. We will then come back Thursday morning after dropping the boys off at school and start getting ready ourselves for leaving for the next 5 months, oh well.

We ate a light super of just a sandwich before I retired to the bedroom for some NHL as the N.C. Canes whupped the Cap's from D.C. 4-0. Today Sunday is corporate worship day and we will be greeters once again which we will miss doing when we leave on the 27th, Oh well, LATER
