Monday Morning

Well yesterday started out with cool temp's down into the low 40's but eventually warmed up to to high 60's. The sun was shining with blue skies as we headed out to Tampa for church at Element with our friends and neighbors Dan and Carol. They drove this Sunday and after the service we came back to the house and finished the leftovers from last nights supper. Wow that lasagna is finally finished after 3 big meals off of it. Nancy still thinks she is still cooking at the church for the Wednesday night fellowship meals for 50 plus folks. We had a good message from Bobby and the music was inspiring and upbeat.

I headed out to the garden after lunch to hand water the new seedling and to cut lettuce for Carol to take home plus lettuces, cabbage, dill and beet greens for another salad we were taking to Amy and Tyler for supper. You would think all of the salads we've been eating we would be thin as rails but that's not happening; just the opposite. Oh well!!! We headed outside to sit in the sun and read until it was time to pick GG up and head to Amy's around 5 PM. It was very warm in the direct sunshine and just enough of a breeze to keep the it comfortable.

Sam and Ava were so excited to see us and were in their active mode all evening. I don't know where they get all of this energy but I was worn out just watching them. Tyler grilled a couple marinated flank steaks to perfection and along with baked potato's, green bean casserole and a fresh salad we once again feasted. The gals baked cookies afterwards but I refrained from those at least. We settled in to watch the big game and when we left to take GG home it was a blow out thus far for the Ravens.
I removed an under the counter radio for GG as she is having her kitchen remodeled and cabinets are being removed this week. She and Nancy will clean out all the canned goods, etc tomorrow from them as well.

Well after getting home and once again tuning in to the game it looked like I could flip to other channels as it was no longer interesting especially with the power outage when suddenly the 49'niners came to life with the lights back on at the dome. The second half made for an interesting game and once more the west coast team looked as if they were using the birds as skeet targets. They came all the way back to within a play of winning the game much like they did against the Falcons; but as luck would have it the east coast team prevailed, barely. It was lights out for me after the confetti starting falling and grown tough men began crying. I sure hope the home town fans didn't burn the towns down either from losing or winning, LATER
