Thursday

We finally got a shower of rain last night just as we got into bed. I don't think it lasted long but it sure cleared the air out and gave the grass a drink as well. The morning started much the usual with Chester crowing his head off around 5'ish, then my quiet time before heading out to the Rec after a bowl of fruit for breakfast. We had a couple new players who are visiting from Pennsylvania and are good players. They both are in their late 60's or early 70's but have picked the game up very well. After 2 plus hours I stopped by the weight room for 20 minutes on the elliptical and really got the shirt wet before heading out for home. I did a quick stop at the library for a couple new reads on the way.

We took off for Sam's to gas up at $3.83 a gallon then picked up a few goodies we needed before stopping at GG's and bringing her home with us for lunch. After lunch Nancy took her to the library and then to do some shopping. I cut her a bag of lettuce and then Nancy dropped her off at home. I read while she was gone then dug potato's that had grown from potato peelings in the compost. Wow were they ever good and we had more than enough for supper to go along with fresh steamed kale and a grilled pork chops. Dewisheous on every aspect.

After the clean up we took off on a long walk through the hood and stopped to visit with a couple old friends who were out in their yard. Wade and Sue have lived in the hood before we lived here and she use to babysit Bobby and Amy from time to time and we have been close friends for years however they use to leave out in their trailer and travel so we haven't seen much of them or talked with them in ages. We had a nice chat and visit. Both are failing in health but still seem in control of their faculties. It was good to see them again but sad to see they are aging so.

Well we watched the vote on Idol and then I read after getting ready for some shut eye. Tomorrow is a family dinner at Amy and Tyler as she is roasting a small turkey. We are bringing the trimmings and GG, LATER
