Thursday

Can you believe it, this week is nearly gone. The morning started out with a pretty steady rain, so much so I had to drive to the rec after my quiet time and the usual bowl of oatmeal with fruit. We had about an hour of just great play then the second hour or so was kind of a cool down with the more general players. The rain also kept several away who weren't missed for their inexperienced play. After the rec we got ready to head out to the drivers license in Pinellas Park so Nancy could renew her license.

Well let me tell you things have really changed since I retired in '04 with regard to drivers license. Now everyone no matter have to bring an original birth certificate and if your female a copy of your marriage certificate for proof of your name change, passport, s.s.n. and 2 proofs that you live where you say you do. The valid license in your possession is no longer good without these proofs. I was told now all licenses are under the homeland security rules, Oh well!!! Needless to say the appointment we made so she could get her eye test for a license renewal will have to be made another day after we take a trip to the court house and get not just a copy but a certified copy of our marriage license where its noted she changed her last name to mine. Yikes, talk about extra expense and paperwork.

After leaving the DL Office we stopped off at Sam's to pick up a few goodies before heading home for lunch. The temp's were close to 70 and with the bright sun it actually was quite warm. It didn't take long for the sun to be hidden by the clouds and a stiff breeze from the north dropped the temps down into the 60's. Still it wasn't too bad considering. Amy and the grand babies came by after their lunch at GG and Pap's and stayed for a couple hours which gave Tyler a chance to rest. He was feverish with chills and a body ache as he was fighting another cold. The doctor loaded him up with scripts once again.

Nancy made a delicious pot of pasta fazule soup for supper along with some corn bread muffins, wow was that ever tasty and it hit the spot as the evening began to cool down. Well not much else is going except I picked another bunch of lettuces, beet greens, kale and 5 tomato's this evening for a large salad. LATER
