Okay, so maybe there really was not lollipops and rainbows but there was definitely sunshine and lots of it. The past few days we have had temps in the high 80's and almost 90's. Way to hot for me, but it has been nice to see the sun.
Since I last posted it has been a busy couple of days. Yesterday, I got up very early to play tennis for a couple hours at the Village Glen. On my way to tennis I saw the most interesting sight. I was driving on Sheridan (a main road) and saw three wild turkeys on one side of the road while a turtle was in the middle of the road plugging along to get to the other side. At 7:15am this is a humorous sight. I truly hope the turtle made it to the other side of the road.
Tennis was great! I love playing. It is one thing that is a luxury for me. The group I do drills with changes every week, so you never know who will be in attendance. Dave, the coach, is great. He will tease you mercilessly but when you do a good job he is the first to applaud. He is one reason I like going to the Village Glen for drill clinics. Yesterday, I was paired up with a guy named Ed. I have never played with him as a partner, but yesterday we played great together. He was excited at the end of play. It is always good to have a decent partner in doubles.
After tennis, I had to head to Walmart for food for the week and goodies for my bonfire next Saturday. I also got a good friend a great birthday gift. I look forward to giving it to him. I truly hope he likes it, because I think it is the best gift.
In the evening, I met up with my friends, Bill, Karin and Jim to head down to Little Valley Speedway for an evening of dirt track racing. What an exciting evening!!!! (Pictures at a later date) Half the fun for the guys was watching Karin and I get excited about the race. One race in particular Karin and I did not want the #32 car to be in the lead. Finally the #28 car got ahead of #32 and we pretty much jumped out of our seats. Excited is not the best word to describe the thrill of watching the race. By the way, #28 did win the race and we were thrilled.
Today church was great. Pastor Wes Aarum spoke about "What is your Mindset?" The topic was in relation to hearing the voice of God, Do I really want to hear from God? The message challenged me to look at my mindset and see if I really do want to hear from God or do I want to listen to my own thoughts? Am I afraid of what He will require of Me? Thought provoking questions that do require some action.
After church Karin, Bill, Brad, Jeff and I all headed down to the Niagara River to have lunch at Mississippi Mudds and then hang out at Niawanda Park. What a wonderful afternoon! Our friends, Nate, Wendy, Tim and Kisha all joined us for a relaxing afternoon. Brad, Karin and Bill all went roller blading, Jeff took a walk and I sat and read under a tree. Later some of us played catch, frisbee and paddle ball. What a perfect day! Especially since it ended with ice cream.
Well, I have wrote a lot. I hope it was enjoyable. Blessings to you!
