Well Saturday was a busy fun filled day that started much like every morning with a 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 several up by name for comfort and healing, all seem to be holding with this post. I headed out to the Rec on my bike for a good hour or so of pickle ball play and left whupped with a wet head and shirt which is always a good sign of the work out. I'll sure miss the work out after next week and all of those players which have continued to leave until fall and I have really become friends with. I'm trying to keep in contact with a couple through my blog I write daily, but Google seems to have made it difficult for it to be read for some unknown reason.
I came back and hand watered whats left in the garden which isn't much due to the heat and of course some of the plants have been in the ground since last October when we came back from the mountains and I planted my garden. I'm excited about starting it again in a week or so once I get the beds ready at the cabin. Steve my friend who has a summer place below us is up there now and took some pictures of the grasses that are knee high as well as the weeds in the beds, but there are some flowering plants showing off their beauty in some of the beds. That is always a big chore with getting them ready to plant but since I learned to cover all of the beds with pine needles in the fall that has cut down on a lot of the weeds and grasses.
Neighbor Dan and Carol our friends for 45 years picked us up around 11 and we headed north into Pasco county to visit old church friends at their new residence for a delicious pasta lunch and then card games called, hand, knee and foot. It is a hoot of a game and its gals vs guys and today was their lucky day and they whupped us in two close games. The game have 4 parts and it usually takes a couple hours to play and we did play for close to 5 hours after lunch. Carol brought a Caesar salad and Nancy brought my favorite, a banana cream pudding which we devoured about mid afternoon. It was after 5 before we called it a day and headed home which took a good hour and half. We came back the scenic route along the west coast of Pinellas county, one that brought back memories of days past for both them and us. It was nearly 7 before we walked down to the house from their driveway and settled in for the evening.
We did clean up some salad for our late supper and then spoke with a couple who now live permanently in the mountains and are our neighbors there. Seems the bears are out once again, eating up the bird feeders as they are caught on field cameras. I suppose I'll have to carry a pistol with me when working out doors as they can become aggressive this time of the year, oh well. I soon hit the shower around 10'ish and then some horizontal lab shortly thereafter. Today is corporate worship day at our local church as well as on line with Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg, Va. before heading to S.R.B.C. where we will be greeting folks attending the second service at 10:30, LATER
Well for some reason I was able to include some pics; the top one is of my son's family and the last one is of my daughters family
