Well not much out of the routine or the usual as the morning started with a "fowl symphony", quiet time, bowl of oatmeal, bike ride to the rec, 2 1/2 hours of pickle ball and a stop off at the library. I headed home to do a few chores around the house as Nancy had driven her mom to visit with her dad who is in a rehab facility for his knee and leg. He is allowed to be there for a week before some decisions are made about how to assist his inability to stand or walk. Keep all of us in your thoughts and prayers.
Amy and the kiddos came for lunch and we so enjoy them. Ava is such a sweetie and Sam is all boy and cute as can be as well. He jabbers away and only he knows what he is saying but he is active. After they left for their afternoon naps I had mine and then finished one of the best reads about Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy and Abe Lincoln. I learned so much about these two men and their families, philosphies, backgrounds and of course how the nation perceived each in victory, defeat and of course in death. This is a must read for all who love history and especially the era of the Civil War. Its titled BLOODY CRIMES by author James Swanson. Fantastic read.
Nancy and I did a veggie only supper with fresh yellow squash, baked potato, salad and the last of the okra. We just chilled after the clean up as it was too darn hot and humid to even tke a walk. Can you believe today was the first day of Fall; not in Florida as it was a cooker. I almost forgot I headed to Twill Auto to have my oil changed and a new battery put in the truck. That battery was over 5 year old and it still cranked good but was starting to see some oxidation on the terminals so had it checked for its strength and found it was starting to show weakness. Anyhow I sure don't want to be caught with a dead battery in the mountains(if we ever get back up there) with cold weather in the near future.
The Rays blew a chance to pick up a game on the Red Sox as they must play a double hitter on Sunday with the Yanks. I have a feeling we just aren't going to make it after such poor play last night at home against the Blue Jays. LATER
