We embraced the full day here in Franzland. After a pleasant breakfast, the team split up. Karen, Judy, and I moseyed down to the Douglas Center for a couple of lively hours of pickle ball. Karen and Judy played inside, while I tried my hand with the "big dogs" outside. I used to play quite a bit of pickle ball twenty years ago. The rust showed to the point i could barely hit the ball in the beginning. I did manage to settle in by the end of the morning, but I've got a few muscles twinging in fear that I'll try a replay the act sometime soon. I will, but not tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll go with Rod to Newton to work on repurposing clothing for the Mennonite Relief Fund. At noon, I walked with Rod around the city park with his friend, Mike. They walk together every Tuesday, and they graciously let me tag along today. I logged 10.5 miles today all tolled. After lunch, Judy and I did the form and worked with the "sticks". I showered. We did laundry. And Karen, Judy, and I took another little saunter before dinner while Rod was away officiating a middle school volleyball game. So it goes here in Franz land. Not a dull moment to be had. Even in the down times, Karen and Judy busied themselves with a puzzle. I busied myself sorting and deleting some of the photos of our adventures. I also enjoyed a nice tour of Karen's garden which is always a pleasant treat. Her space provides a peace that's welcome in these tumultuous days. Oh, and I saw my first Biden/Harris sign, which while faint, provides some small hope for a return to sanity. I'm sure we'll end the day with a card game after dinner, and even if we don't life proves to be good, especially today.
