Sunday Was Another Warm Day

Well after our quiet time and a lite breakfast we headed out to church where Nancy sang in the choir and then joined me in the nursery with the toddlers. We only had Ava so she got lots of attention and we loved every moment. After church I settled in to watch our Bucs slide further in the lost column and just about gave away any chance to make the playoffs. Actually the only decent player on Sunday was Garcia who gave 100% where the rest of the team maybe 75%. I guess I will have to pull for the Falcons as they are playing with desire and enthusiasm.
Nancy took off for the mall with her mother and sister. She later had to go to church and sing with choir for another musical. The rest of the day for me was one of a couch potato watching football. Its hard to believe the season has 1 more regular game.

Monday morning cooled down considerably so it was time to finally cut the A/C off. The day temps barely reached 70's; however its supposed to be in the 80's for Christmas. I shouldn't complain when I see all the snow and ice in the rest of the nation. I pedaled to the Rec. and got in 2 hours of pickle ball then a good workout in the weight room before stopping by the library. I picked a bunch of fresh greens, lettuce and my first cucumber. Did that make a great salad we took to Amy and Tyler's for dinner.Shortly after Amy left with Ava for her afternoon nap and old Air Force buddy, Mike Stirk stopped by with his wife Sally and son Brian. Mike and I were loadmasters together and he after his discharge went on to obtain his commercial flight ticket. He was a captain flying 747 with Evergreen Airlines out of New York City until about a year ago when he retired. His son Brian took over where he left off and is also a captain with the same airlines. They fly strictly cargo loads but all over the world. Brian lives in north St.Pete with his wife and 2 little girls. Mike now with his 2 grand daughters gets down yearly for a visit from New York.

Amy made a great chicken casserole, home grown broccoli, cauliflower for dinner. YUMMM!!! After getting Ava ready for bed we played a couple card games and were back home by 10 PM. Boy did it ever cool off with the temp at 51 with a steady breeze. It sure feels colder than that. Well will close for now. Later
