Tuesday

Well things are kind of quiet around here as the gobbler is gone and the rooster now has another pullet(young hen) keeping him company. The morning started out the usual with my quiet time, a V-8 and a banana before pedalling out to the rec for some 2 1/2hours of pickle ball. We were a couple players short and a few have come up with some minor muscle pulls after to days play. We started with 4 players and ended with 10 for the day. It was a good workout and I headed into the weight room for some crunches before heading home.

I climbed onto the roof with the blower and cleaned it off of the leaf, fuzz and dead twig build up from the past month or so since the new leaf formation. I trimmed a couple trash cans full of limbs that were hanging down over the roof before calling it a morning. It was starting to get hot once again plus it was lunch time. Amy and Nancy had gone to Target for some kid's stuff and pulled in just as I was finishing up cleaning the yard. We had left over lasagna and salad for lunch. That Sam now is able to climb into the window seat and then onto the table, he is such a cutie but really jabbers when you take him down. We learned we are watching him next week for 3 nights as Tyler's other sister, Holly and his grandma are coming in for Ava's birthday from Kansas so they are heading for Disney World for a few days. Should be fun with his family here and of course Sam is so young he would only make it more difficult for them to enjoy all the activity.

After lunch we played and looked at pictures on the computer with him just jabbering away, when he starts to talk he will be a motor mouth like Ava. They headed out after watching Avonlea and Nancy took off for the rec and the treadmill. I pulled a nice mess of collard greens and got them on the stove. I read until it was time for the porch chops to go on the grill along with a baked spud for supper. Yumm!!

The Ray'd just won a close from the White Sox and are tied for second place next to the Yankees. The pitching was good with a complete game for Shields as well as some incredible defense. Great Game!! LATER
