Monday

Well the morning was not my usual routine because of the night before when we had to get GG and bring her to our house during the middle of the night. Seems our a/c technician by mistake cut the pilot light to her gas furnace off when he checked it out last week and it got down into the high 40's for the evening and the furnace wouldn't kick on; so everyone(Nancy and Betsy) was afraid gas would leak into the house. Well to make a long story short, no gas leaked and he came by and fixed the problem on Monday morning. I got very little if any sleep so I was very lethargic most of the day and especially during pickle ball. I could not get going for some reason.

After the workout I stopped off at the library and headed home to water the garden. The winds over the weekend really dried out the ground and bent lots of my plants over. We had some really high winds in the area as many trees were blown over onto houses and cars and the change in the weather was unreal as well. We went from high humidity and in the 80's to no humidity, high winds and in the 40's in just a couple hours. Luckily we never experienced any of the horrific storms that plagued the middle part of the country with those deadly tornadoes, its unreal the power and devastation those twisters can exhibit as well as cause so much loss of life. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those folks in these areas. Not only did such a drastic change in weather occurred here in Florida but in the mountains as well as it went from Spring like weather to below freezing with snow in one day, yikes.

Well on a lighter note our good and dear friends the Dalton Gang bought some baby miniature goats (twins I assume)and named them after Nancy and I. They are so cute and we feel so honored(I guess)as its the first thing I can remembered being named for me. We can hardly wait to see them. We had friends in Virginia who had a very small goat and he was the cutest and smartest animal I have ever been around and they kept him in the house like a dog, this goat could climb any and everything, oh well! Our neighbors here take their rooster with them in the truck so whats with having a couple goats in the house; boy do we have some weird friends!!!

We headed over to pick up GG as we were going to Amy and Tyler's for supper. Amy made spaghetti and meatballs along with a fresh Caesar salad for Nancy's birthday supper. GG made the "best thing next to Robert Redford or sex" for dessert, what a name and she used a pudding that was fat free so it was made from a fake sugar and it tasted kind of bland, which caused for lots of comments or wrinkles, no pun intended. The evening was a fun filled one with lots of good eatin'(except for the dessert) which we were so stuffed before we ate it anyhow. Betsy and Braden joined us as well. They gave GG a ride home as we all left around 8:30. The temp's were falling fast and it was a "mountain evening". It didn't take long for the sandman to strike one I layed down to read, LATER
