No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

A football day

This morning Linda and I went to Bible study and worship. Everyone was glad to see Linda again, and she distributed the hugs she brought from Mom. Ethel is still traveling so Linda didn't get to see her this time. After worship, our group went to Chili's for lunch, like usual. The nice manager, Katie, put the Packer game on for us to watch while we ate. Sadly, I had misread the TV Guide online and thought it was on national TV today, but, alas, I was wrong. At least we got to see the 1st quarter!
Linda has been hoping and hoping for a lovely sunrise, and this is as close as we can get here this visit. We'll take it!

When we got home after lunch, we added our to-go boxes to the already bulging refrigerator which is laden with last night's leftovers. I couldn't get everything into the dishwasher when we cleaned up after the gathering so I did another load today. Normally don't care to leave a messy kitchen but I made an exception, because we were tired! Linda and I each watched the Packer game on our laptops, not live but on their website, where one can follow sort of play-by-play. The Packers beat their nemesis, the Bears, 13-10!  

Just before the game ended Michael sent me a text message saying they were showing the end of the Packer game after a previous game so we caught that. And then the Jaguar game came on. At first the game was going well, the Jags tied with the Chargers at the half....well, that was the end of the scoring. Thankfully the coaches put in the rookie QB which was a good thing, even though they didn't score again with him. Linda and I enjoyed leftover for dinner, a regular smorgasbord of delights, to make up for the sad football game. At least, I was sad...
For our entertainment we watched a movie I'd borrowed from my neighbor, Kathy H. "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" is the title. I had seen the previews for the sequel when last at the movies and wanted to see this one first. Now I am ready for the next movie. Some said they didn't care for it, but I really liked it, and think Linda did, too. It was good day of rest --- starting at church and ending on the sofa!
