Monday Morning(Christmas Eve Day)

Well it was down right nippy here in sunny Seminole with frost on all the roof tops except mine and the neighbor behind me this morning. The large oak trees kept the white stuff away so the garden didn't seemed to be damaged. The temp according to the computer indicated it was 40 degrees so I was concerned that ice could form at that temp above 32, Oh well.

We started the morning out with getting ready for worship at Element in Tampa. It was cool as we picked up our neighbors Dan and Carol for the ride over. Nancy filled up a large platter of the Christmas cookies to go along with the coffee for the worshipers. Bobby had a wonderful message on love and fulfillment and afterwards we had one of our former house church members speak. He went off to seminary and now he, his wife and daughter are heading to India for 3 years to do missionary work. They stayed with Amy and Tyler overnight and then this morning he spoke about their trip to our group at Element.

After church we stopped by Chili's for some lunch then headed home. It really warmed up with the bright sunshine and by late afternoon I had opened the front door for some fresh warm air. After lunch I helped Dan install a new mailbox for his mother-in-law who is getting up there in years and the mail carrier now will deliver her mail to the second floor of her condo if she had a mailbox outside her door; so I helped with my good deed of the day. I spent the rest of the day glued to NFL football and saw some good games. Our hapless Bucs once again embarrassed the home town team with another loss at least it was blacked out so we didn't have to watch the game on TV. The Steeler vs Bengals was a good game with lots of excitement despite the Steeler loss.

Well that's about it for Sunday as I watched the Seahawks take apart the 49 niners in the late game until I fell asleep in the 3rd quarter. Our heat actually came on a couple times during the night. We added a third blanket which made for some cozy warm sleeping so much so it was nearly 8 before I decided to slip out of the sack this morning, LATER
