Well Sunday was a superb day;both at Element Church and at the Nursing pavilion. Bobby had a large crowd with lots of newbies, tons of children and several pregnant ladies. Wow what great teaching he did. Nancy and I are in awe of his abilities as a dad, pastor, musician and a leader as well as a chef. We got back from Element around 12:30 and stopped at Subway for a foot long for lunch as we knew we had to pick up Dan and Carol at 1:40. Subway is good inexpensive eating for lunch and healthy as well.
The nursing home ministry is a awesome way to make these folks(patients)feel needed, loved and cared for. We have a couple who are over 100 years of age. Many are infirmed; missing limbs, some are in various stages of dementia and the majority have no family as they have out lived their relatives. We sing hymns, pray with and for them and give a 10-15 devotion then push them back to their rooms. Actually I think we workers are more blessed than they because we realize some day we may be in their same situations and can relate to someone other than a health care worker giving a few minutes to love on them. We will miss that program when we head to the mountains.
After the nursing home we just chilled the rest of the day watching the Ray's whup the BoSox's for the 3 rd win in 4 games. We caught up on some reading and cooked a small steak for dinner.
Monday was the usual with our quiet time and me heading out to the Rec. for some pickle ball. I got in 2 good hours of play with about 14 players then did 30 minutes on the elliptical as well as some heavy weights. I've loss a pound of the the seven I gained while sick and laying around. At pickle ball a couple who come down to Florida each year, Ken and Lynn from South Carolina played with us and will be here all week. Sweet folks and both are good players. We keep in touch the rest of the year with this blog. (I knew this rambling was good for something).
After the workout little Ava and Amy came by for the first time in a week as Tyler folk's started back on their long drive back to Kansas. We wish them Godspeed. I took off after lunch and had my ear's lower then just chilled the rest of the day except for picking a few herbs and white egg plants for dinner. My single egg plant has about 10-12 fruits on it. My is that good eatin' fried egg plant with a sliver of crispy cucumber on top with a little ground red pepper, oregano and a sliver of fresh jalapeno.(of course thats home grown as well) We ate that as the main course with a small portion of chicken fajitas.Yumm Yumm!!! We then watched the Ray's lose to the Orioles in a poor pitching job by their ace lefty, Kasmir. Oh well !!!
Tuesday(today) was much the same with the usual morning routine however I had to leave pickle ball early to help Nancy do the church shopping for Wednesday night dinner at church. We shopped and then picked up some goodies for Mother's Day dinner at our house on Sunday. After dropping off the food items we headed home for a great fresh salad for lunch. Ava and Amy ate with us and then the girls all went birthday shopping for Amy. Amy will be 26 on the 19th. While the girls were gone I changed out a door knob and watered the garden. Tonight Nancy is making my favorite soup, Zuppa des conta. Its a little warm for soup but I have tons of fresh kale in the garden and it needs to be used, plus I'm taking 2 bunches of kale and collards for friends at church on Wed.
Well I'm rambled on long enough and the girls just got back and Ava needs my attention. LATER
