Ken was up early, did his readings, and had planned to leave at 7 and join Ernie for their morning walk. But, Ken's foot and heel was a bit sore, so he decided he probably needed to take the day off! It was a good thing he did, because we kept busy making breakfast, etc. until leaving at 8:45 to go to Edgewater Church to help with the Food Pantry.
It was so nice to see all our Florida church friends again and to be available to help the folks who come to get food. It is such a rewarding time for Ken and I. We only served 67 folks today, which was rather shocking considering it is a new year and we weren't open last week. But, we did have a lot to offer them and they were very appreciative!
After serving and cleaning up, about 16 of us went to lunch at Beef O'Brady's, which is in the Shopping Center across from the church. What a fun time with great food and fellowship! We only got back to the CG around 2:30. We saw Ernie and we decided to play shuffleboard around 4. Ken rested while I did my devotions.
We actually drove to the shuffleboard courts because they were predicting some heavy rain in about 70 minutes according to Ken's weather app. We played 3 games and the women won all of them handily! Wow! We drove back to our sites and Ken and I decided to sit outside and enjoy the breeze. We weren't under the awning more than 30 seconds when it started to "pour"! We gotted getting wet immediately, so we went inside rather quickly.
We had small salads and some fruit for dinner and then cleaned up. I worked on this blog and by 7:15 Ernie and Noela arrived for an evening of cards! We played a game of Skip-Bo which the men won, but the game was under protest, due to some cheating! So, we played 2 rounds of Hand and Foot and the women were so far ahead (without cheating!) that the men declared us the winners. Neither of them were able to get into their foot the last round! They left around 9:30 and it was off to bed for some reading. Another great day in our winter home!!!!!@
