Well I'm waiting for Nancy to get ready to head out to Element Church in Tampa to support our son, Bobby who is the pastor and worship leader. He has done a marvelous job this past year with the new church plant so much so they are having to rent an additional space and construct classrooms just for the great number of children which has grown 10 fold plus in a year.
Saturday was a just relaxing day after a little shopping and garden work. The muggy humid air has returned so we have the a/c back on and the windows closed, yuck!! This past week the fresh clean spring like mornings were super, much like the mountains in the springtime. Anyhow we were entertaining neighbors and good friends Dan and Carol for dinner. Nancy had a large pot roast in the oven since about 1:30 and the smell had all of us salivating and trying to speed the clock up to 5:30. The 'taters were home grown; some I brought back from the mountain's given to me by a church friend from Cornerstone as most of mine rotted in the ground this fall. Everything was delicious. We sampled a little vino they had shipped back from Texas, peach and strawberry. It was sweet and great to smell. Thanks guys for sharing!!! After eating we played 18 rounds of golf. That is actually a card game where the lowest score is the winner. Once again the gals had the lowest score and won while I had the highest score and lost. I don't like that scenario. We had lots of laughs and caught up on lots of the worlds problems that we could solve in our own households. Dan still does the nursing home service on Sunday afternoons a couple times a month and Nancy and I will lend a hand this afternoon. We will sing a few hymns and share a little personal part of our lives and just visit with these who are confined to wheelchairs and many without any family left.
Well its time to get ready and head out as it takes about 45 minutes depending on traffic to make the trip to south Tampa. Its mostly interstate so its not a bad trip. Just an update on the garden; sugar peas are breaking ground, kale now has 4 leaves and a few have 5, radishes are up about an inch, 1/2 runner beans are up 4-6 inches, beets are slowly getting taller, cukes are up as well as a zucchini squash along with lots of lettuce(all kinds) seedlings, 'mater plants are 8-10 inches, green and jalapeno peppers are doing nicely as well as the sweet basil, oregano, dill, cilantro and parsley. We have been using the herbs on a daily basis. LATER
