Well Wednesday was another rather warm day with temps up into the 80's with tons of sunshine and blue skies. It was a work day after an hour or so of pickle ball first thing after my usual morning routines that begin with some quiet times to honor 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. I headed out on my bike to the Rec for some play with a mixture of A and B players and left with a wet shirt. Nancy was just eating breakfast so I joined her with an egg, half an avocado drizzled with olive oil on a piece of sour dough bread, yikes is that not ever delicious and supposedly good for you. Anyhow that held me until a salad for lunch and then another salad with a piece of pan fried salmon filet for supper. Truthfully I'm still just under 200 pounds for some reason as I can not lose these 10 pounds I'm carrying around. I quit drinking beer and now with us being so busy with church and basketball games during the week, its maybe two glasses of Merlot during the week, oh well.
I sweated while working in the gardens transplanting my jalapeno peppers and kale seedlings which have added some good roots since Saturday afternoon and now I'm starting to see half runner beans sprouting through the ground. All of the leafy greens as well as the tomato plants are growing and I'll be adding them to the salad bowl in a week or less. The garden is loving these cool nights and warm to hot days as I have tons of seedlings up from seeds in my two planters which I will move into 6 packs before setting them out into the garden proper.
I finished the book during the hot afternoon while Nancy was getting her hair colored and cut. THE IDAHO FOUR is a good read and it takes you right up to before the killer admits to his evil deeds. The book reads like a novel but very moving about the families and lifestyles of those four victims. The investigation turned on the DNA on the knife sheath left behind at the scene and then it was finally putting all the pieces together to arrest the bad guy.
Well we headed out after an early supper to SRBC for what was called a packing party for Thanksgiving bags for the needy or some not well off, for both our members and for schools down the road from the church in our neighborhood. We filled over 130 bags or whats usually called baskets with lots of everything for a turkey day dinner with even gift certificates for actual birds. It was a process with a couple hundred folks doing the filling as we progressed through the tables loaded with items then we added hand written cards in with the items and then prayed over them as well. It was very touching and we hoped to not only fill some tummy's but gave them a reason to be thankful and hopefully know that we want them to be filled with the love of Jesus through our giving and sharing our bounty, LATER
