Tuesday is a great day

Wow, the good warm temperate weather is back and may last for the rest of the week. It reached 71 today and NO humidity. After my quiet time and a lite breakfast of Cheerios I jumped on the bike and headed to the Rec. It seem's the great interest in pickle ball has caused the Rec. directors to give us(pickle ball players) the gym for at least 2 full hours everyday during the week. Thank You!!!
Well we had 7 players today for 2 hours and we got in some great play; fast and furious. We are down in numbers this week which is to be expected because of the holidays. The Rec. is closed New Years Day but will be open the day after. I'm looking forward to the next 5 months of great play with all of our players. We even had 2 racket ball players today showing some interest in the game. We always welcome new players.
After pickle ball I harvested lots of fresh; romaine and bibb lettuce, beet greens, mustard greens, radishes, basil and parsley for a great garden salad for lunch. Amy and Ava came and we topped off the salad with last of the smoked chicken from Sunday. Wow, with olive oil, lemon juice and crazy salt that makes for a great dressing along with sliced beets and garbanzo beans. Man is that good eatin'.
Ava played outside with Phoenix(2 year old) until it was time for her afternoon nap. She is such a delight and we relish her daily visits. After they left Nancy and I took off to Sam's to pick up party food for tomorrow night. She is making tons of sandwiches, salsa and other goodies. Neighbors are making and bringing 4 or 5 different soups and then we will ring in the New Year with food and games. Sounds like fun.
Well will close for now. Later. Just in case I'm sure I won't blog tomorrow night I want to wish all a healthy and prosperous New Year.
