A Beautiful Morning, A Little Rain then Turned Brisk











Tuesday morning was a little warmer to begin but dark clouds moved in quickly. After my quiet time and a lite breakfast of Cheerios and a banana I jumped on the 10-speed and headed out to the Rec. I got in 2 + hours of pickle ball with 7 other players and ended with a wet shirt. We had some great play. Hopefully we will have enough players tomorrow as the Rec. will be closed Thur. and Friday for Turkey Day. WOW, one get's addicted to that hard daily play.

Nancy skipped her workout today to go Christmas shopping with her sister and mother to Citrus Park Mall in Tampa. Amy and Ava came by after lunch and visited a couple hours. I loaded her up with fresh herbs for her spaghetti and meat balls dinner tonight. The oregano, basil and parsley are doing quite well. I pulled about 25 collard leaves and along with a little fresh kale made a nice pot of greens for supper. YUMMM!!! I added a spoon of ham base concentrate and that gave it the flavor of cooking all day with a ham bone. Nancy and I ate almost the whole pot of greens, we saved enough for Amy to have a bowl for lunch tomorrow.

Nancy got back around 5:30 and we had dinner(eating the greens and left over pork roast from Sunday). The air has cooled off once again and they are calling for down in the 40's here Thanksgiving morning. Wow is that a change from the past years. Tyler(son in law) will pick me up early on Thursday and we head off to church to help cook our annual Thanksgiving Day breakfast then we will head over to Bob's in Riverview for a turkey dinner around 4 PM.
So if I miss a little "keeping everybody informed"after tomorrow you will know I'm busy cooking, washing dishes, playing with both grand daughters and watching a little" are you ready for some football."

Hopefully all will have a fun time with family and to remember to be thankful for the men and women in uniform who are away from home and their families this holiday. Please keep the welfare of our nation in your prayers. GOD BLESS ALL. Later.
