Sunday and Monday

Wow was Sunday a great day of worship and family get together with Bob, Jill and Annsley. We ventured out Sunday morning to Tampa to worship with our son at Element. There was a good crowd once again and it seems he is attracting a few older than 50 in the mix. The majority is still in their 20's but with lots of young marrieds and 10 or more kids.

We met Bob and Jill at their house after stopping at Publix's to get a few last minute items for lunch. Bob grilled some amazing burgers with all of his spices. Lunch was a good one and to make the afternoon even better was a come from behind victory for the Bucs. Bob and I had some great father/son time as well as loving up on little Annsley Elizabeth. She has become very independent in her 1 year period of maturation, but such a delight.

Sunday brought lots of rain on the Tampa side of the bay as it rained hard at times and was drizzling when we left Bob's about 4:30. The Pinellas side got a little much needed rain. We spent the evening watching football and eating popcorn.

Monday morning brought clear skies with temp's in the 60's and a nice off shore breeze in the afternoon that reached the middle 70's. Perfect weather!!! My garden is doing fantastic as we are starting to harvest a little lettuce plus lots of herbs; basil, dill, oregano and rosemary. My tomato's are blooming and 1/2 runners are running. This is just great weather for a garden.

Ava and Amy came for lunch and spent the afternoon. Ava is such a delight and starting to talk more so every day. She understands all you are telling her. I find it so hard to imagine a government who would allow and even promote by running on a campaign promise the killing of unborn babies. GOD forgive us as nation who promotes and even makes laws to promote this unmerciful act.

All is well with us. I got in 2 hours of good pickle ball play(a wet shirt) this morning as there were 10 of us player's. The interest has grown and our players are getting so much better. The bad thing about this game is that it is addicting. Well I need to go and fire up the grille as we are having chicken on the barbee', brussel sprouts and something else. Take care, missing all. LATER . I left my camera at Bob's so no pics until he come on Thursday for smoked barbeq ribs.
