Another Florida Typical Winter Day

It's difficult to imagine this time last year we had the a/c cranked on. It's been on only for couple days this month of November and we've even had the heat on for a couple of morning's to take the chill off. Last year it was so hot and muggy on Thanksgiving Day and to think tomorrow the counties north of us may have some patchy frost. WOW!!!

After my quiet time and Cheerios and banana for breakfast I headed to the Rec. for another good 2+ hours of pickle ball. Once again we had a full house with several new players. There was no time to sit around as we interchanged on the 3 courts playing with different players and at various levels of skill. It's hard to believe we are through until next Monday when the Rec. opens again. Nancy got her work out in after 3 PM.

Ava and Amy came for lunch and then the girls took off to visit G/Grandma Everett. I got a little gardening in; picked radishes and transplanted some new radish seedlings, planted some unknown flowers I brought back from the mountains thinking they were Zinnia seedlings. I picked a few spinach leaves as well as some mustard green leaves to add to the fresh salad for lunch. Wow was that ever a great salad especially after adding fresh basil to all the other fresh homegrown ingredients.

Nancy sauteed some fresh yellow squash with onion and we spooned that over white rice along with some fried talapia for dinner. YUMMM was that ever good. She forgot to add the fresh garlic but it was still a great dish. I added a little fresh rosemary to the fish and was it ever tasty.
Well tomorrow will be a big day with breakfast at church the first thing in the morning and then a trip over to Riverview to Bob's for a turkey dinner with all of our family and Jill's folks. LATER. Wow I almost forgot to mentioned I got a package in the mail from Virginia. I'm a lover of black walnuts and there in the mail was at least a pound or more of fresh shelled black walnut kernels. YUMMM and they are the best when added to applesauce cakes.Paw PAw(Dad) and his friend Adeline crackled them by hand and sent them to me. What a labor of love!!!
