Monday

Well the day started early as Nancy kept me awake with her nose symphony as she has the beginning's of either a cold or some allergies, anyhow after my quiet time, spot of green tea and a bowl of oatmeal with a banana I pedalled out to the rec on my bike for some pickle ball. The rec was hosting its first in house pickle ball tournament sponsored by our new senior adult leader, Kristen and assisted by Jersey Jim. We had about 8 teams to compete in both the men's doubles and mixed doubles. I was fortunate enough to have younger pardners in both classes and we prevailed with first place wins in both. My thanks to Larry and Mitsuko for playing so well and allowing me to be part of the winning teams. We played until about 11 AM and there was some good play had by all the teams. I was a little surprised there were only 8 teams entered as we have upwards of 18-20 active players.

After leaving the rec I stopped by the library for a read I had on hold then hurried home to hang laundry,water the gardens and pedal over to Amy's place to water their garden as well. I enjoyed a peanut butter sandwich for lunch then just chilled for awhile reading until the Payne's came by for some fresh homegrown collards. I picked them 2 shopping bags full. After they left I took in the dried laundry and set the sprinklers once again in the front yard. Nancy got home shortly afterwards and headed to the rec for 30 minutes on the treadmill.

I snapped the fresh green beans I had picked from Tyler's garden and Nancy fried up some tenderized deer tenderloin the Dalton Gang so generously gave us, along with the left over spuds from Friday night. I even made a milk gravy from the deer drippings and then put that over the fried deer, YUMM!! Well it has turned warm and humid again as we wait the approach of a cold snap heading our way on Wednesday, so the a/c is once again back on. It's supposed to drop into the 40's for a couple nights with a high in the 70's for the day time later this week. LATER
