Well Sunday was another busy day that started out around 7'ish(actually was 8'ish) when we rolled out of the sack. Brr was it ever chilly with the brisk breeze which made it feel even colder. We cranked up the small gas heater which has kept the cabin comfortable to our delight and amazement. At times I wished I had put a fireplace in and I guess I still could if I should ever decide to retire here permanently.
After our quiet times and a hot cup of coffee for Nancy and hot green tea for me we made our own breakfast. I finished up the apple pie with milk and she boring oatmeal which was the most nutritious no doubt but I had the better tasting one. We got ready to head to Cornerstone for our final Sunday and at times a tearful one. There were hugs and tears from both us and them as we said good-bye until next May or June. We have been made to feel so welcome here and have made some great friendships.
We hooked up with the Dalton Family for lunch out at the Mexican Restaurant and then again at their farm later in the evening for fresh roasted deer ham that Caleb shot on Friday. Wow was that ever delicious and the way Andy prepares it in the smoker is awesome. We headed home to watch a little football before I hooked up with neighbor Gerald around 2:30 and we headed back to Cornerstone for some 2 plus hours of pickle ball. There were 5 of us and we played some great points until it was time to head over to the Dalton's for supper. Gerald stayed and ate with us as well.
Nancy and I stayed and played several games of Sequence with Mechell's folks, Gerald and Kay along with Katelyn and her beau Curtis. We had a great time and somehow the gals once again won all but one game and that was a tie. I guess they have the bragging rights this winter until we return as we did last year when the guys won the last game of the year(the only game we won) and we bragged all winter. We have a lot of fun and especially when its 8 folks playing. We headed out shortly thereafter for the cabin as it was pitch black. The temps were dropping down to 31 as we rode in the lane. We saw several large deer in the backwoods yard with the truck lights as we parked.
Well it was a sad day at times as we will certainly miss our mountain church family and friends. We will keep up with many on Face Book and a few have tuned into this ramble at times but it's winter time and I need to get my garden planted in Florida as well as renew old friendships there plus we want to hold and love up on our grand babies and get ready for our newest grand baby who is appearing around the first of the year, LATER
