Friday

Well it was much the usual morning after my quiet time, a banana and a ride out to the rec for some 2 1/2 hours of pickle ball. We had just 5 players the first hour which kept us constantly playing except for every 5th game which gave you a 5-minute or so break. Finally after an hour or so a few more players arrived and the constant play picked up again. We had a wet shirt morning. I passed on the crunches and the weigh workout.

Nancy took off when I got home so I decided to cut the water off to the house and change a Moen cartridge in the kitchen faucet. Well that turned out to be more difficult than I planned but after calling a plumber friend he managed to assist in about 5 minutes and we got the old one out and a new one in. Eddie has been a family friend of mine since he was in high school and is quite a plumber. If you ever need that kind of work let me know and I'll set you up, very reasonable and knowledgeable. After Eddie left Amy and the grand babies came for lunch and we were glad to hear that Sam didn't have an ear infection just some symptons that go with teething. They stayed until it was time for his nap then we started to clean the house as we have tons of company coming on Sunday for supper.

We got ready for the Good Friday service at Element in Tampa and headed out about 5 o'clock with friends Dan and Carol. Dan is an elder in the church and had to be there early as he was part of the service. We had a grand time the service was inspiring and the music was awesome. We got to visit with Annsley and Gabey as well. It was a really nice crowd for a 6:30 service. Afterwards we stopped at Olive Garden in Largo for a late supper for us. I think we were served our meal around 9 PM and the place was still busy, at least we didn't have to wait. The food was good but not good for the waist line. The Zuppa soup was great as well as the bread sticks and on top of that we shared a chicken Alfredo pizza, yikes!!! Talk about calories.

We got home and watched the Rays lose another game in the 11th inning in Toronto, Canada. Finally after showers we called it a night and a full day, LATER
