Saturday

Once again it was another day in the 90's with high humidity but no rain. After our quiet time and of course the 6AM wake up by the dueling roosters we had a mountain breakfast for a change; dippy eggs, grits, bacon and toast with homemade black raspberry jam, yikes was that ever good and it held me until supper at 5:30 when we headed up to Dan and Carol's stuffed mushrooms,steaks, cauliflower, spaghetti squash and sliced tomato's with mozzarella cheese and basil and pumpkin pie for dessert. It was especially delicious with a glass of red vino.

Afterwards we took a walk through the hood then play about 30 plus rounds of golf(card game). Nancy won and I lost but the lead changed many times throughout the game. We watched the Ray's close within a 1 1/2 games of Boston for a wild card spot in the MLB playoffs which start next week.

After breakfast we got ready and picked up Nancy's mom(GG) and took her to spend the day with Pap at the rehab facility, wow is that ever a nice place. He still hasn't been able to stand on that bum leg but hopefully he will recover enough he can at least walk with a walker. We left there around lunch time and did a Sam's Club run for gas and some goodies, wow gas has dropped down to 3.24 a gallon for the first time in Florida in a long time. We came back and got ready to head to the rec for a workout on the treadmill and elliptical then stopped by the library to return books for GG and pickup a couple for me. I just finished the autobiography of Vickki LaMotta the wife of the Jake LaMatto who was once the middle weight boxing champion of the world. Robert Dinero played him in the movie Raging Bull. Quite a read and she didn't want her story told until after she died. Both of them as well and their sons have passed, except for a son she had with a different husband.

Well today(Sunday) is worship day at Element Church in Tampa and today is their third anniversary, wow its hard to believe as time just slips away. The gatherings have gotten larger especially with all the kids and babies and there are new faces every week. We are proud to see along with all the many new house churches the out reach into the community for the sharing of the Gospel of CHRIST. If you like up lifting praise and worship music, good teaching and just a super friendly atmosphere where no one hides behind suit and ties then this is the place for you in a warehouse in Tampa, Florida. Come join us!!!!LATER
