Sparkle toes

Denny left the tv on when he came to bed.  Devo and Ex and PB at 8.  Denny was still in bed when I got home from PB. I've stopped by Kathy''s 2 times and not been able to see her.  I was cold and spent time under the covers watching 2 Hallmark movies.  We went to PI and I got my toes sparkled.  We couldn't get in until 4:30 and so we ate at Pirate's Landing.  Denny shopped at Walmart. There was a program at night with Jonny Byrd.  pretty good.  Songs that Honored our veterans, Gloria, 100 years old, Lois and Llyod, married 70 years, and Al, whose Greta died a week ago.

Beach

Bruce joined Denny and me out on the deck for coffee.  I trimmed the basil.  Barb stopped to say that #92 would be available for Cooks.  We stopped at Starbucks before going to SPI.  We walked thru Port Isabel outdoor market.  Once again lovely church service, view out windows, music, message.  Lord, be with Pastor Dave who had a stroke and didn't preach today.  We spent 4 hours sitting on the beach after church.  I listened to John Grisham's book, the Bleachers.  At home we unpacked and went to the hot tub.  I texted Haley.  Lord, guide and bless and they have so much to do.

BBQ

I started bread before I went with Gail and Meg to yoga at the Farmer's Market.  It was pretty as I lay on the ground looking at the the trees in the blue overhead sky.  I joined in a group phone call.  It was so good to see/hear the kids.  I played one game of PB. Bruce came over and fished.  He got 3 fish.  One was pretty big.  I invited the park to come and pick basil if they need it.   Yesterday we made poppers that I started at 3 to bake for the BBQ at Finchers.   We headed there at 4. Such good food!! 4 types of BBQ meat.  8 Newhouses, 2 Bransons and 2 Finchers.  Denny went to gas the Rav, Nancy and I stayed later.  Great time!!

Lord, help in 2026

Up after not sleeping well last night. Jealousy is a tough thing.  Lord, help me with it.  Sat on deck, with devo and coffee.  I went to play PB with first time players.  We took Nancy to look for a lift/reclining chair.  We went to 3 places.  Nothing to purchase, but ideas.  When we got back we ate fish from Gordons  and went to the pool.  Denny and Nancy made jalephino poppers.  We sat on the deck under the lighted umbrella.  Planted remaining lisianthus seeds and eucalyptus.
