Saturday Morning May 24th..3 days to go

Well I must say the heat and humidity is unbearable after the early morning hours and its nice to know in a couple of days we will see and feel some more moderate temps, so much so thats its almost wonderful for us and unthinkable for those we know and love to be here in Florida. I worked out side for a couple hours in the early morning and my shirt was dripping sweat and it hadn't even gotten past mid morning and last evening at 10 'ish it was still in the upper 80's, oh well.

I started the morning on Friday with my usual 5'ish rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet moments 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 with this post. After breakfast I headed out for a hair cut and skipped any pickle ball for a change as I said my good byes yesterday morning. After getting back I headed outside to mend the back yard fence from the tree damage a neighbor's tree did to my fence from the last hurricane. I was hoping his insurance company would replace those damaged panels, but no, as I never heard a word from them, anyhow I had to replace 7 panels which thankfully I had on hand from when I installed the new fence a couple years back and they were left overs. By the time I finished that job it was so hot and muggy and the heat index was close to a 100 degrees, yikes, so I headed in to the a/c and stayed that way cooling off for most of the rest of the day.

Nancy was off shopping for some last minute items so I watched the world news until lunch time and the since we had a "mountain breakfast " of sausage, eggs , sliced tomato and toast I had a handful of nuts until suppertime. We were due to be at our local church where Keswick School was holding their graduation ceremonies in our large auditorium for our grand daughter Ava's event. Bobby our son and family all came for the event which was packed with close to 800 folks as the place holds around 850 folks. It was a great ceremony and of course many attend out church as well and we all made those who do not attend here feel welcome. It started at 7 and lasted close to two hours. Afterwards we were to meet at a local eatery for dessert in Pinellas Park but the wait to get a table for 8 of us was close to hour and it already was close to 10 by the time we got there, so Nancy and I skipped out as did Bobby and family. who left from the church after the event.

After a shower it was close to 10:30 before I actually called it a night. Today we are supposed to go to USF to watch grand son Sam participate in a jiu jitsu event in the morning and early afternoon and then head to the Tracy's for supper around 5"ish. Sunday will be another full day with church and then a graduation party in the afternoon so that leaves Sunday night and all day Monday to get ready and leave on Tuesday morning around 4 AM, LATER
