Sunday Morning

Well Saturday turned out to be almost summerlike with high humidity and warm temps that reached the lower 80's by the afternoon. We saw the sun sporadically throughout the morning so that made for a good time to wash, wax and detail the truck. Wow did it ever feel good to ride around in a shiny vehicle when we headed out around 5 for the surprise 50th anniversary party for our friends the Crouses at the River House.

We started the day much the usual with a 7'ish roll out. After our quiet time and the posting of this ramble we made egg sandwiches with fresh ripe 'maters. I must say nothing makes an egg sandwich like a slice of home grown tomato. That held us until lunch when it was time for a fresh salad; again loaded with tomato's as we have been given several over the past couple days. I'm getting an occasional cucumber to add to the mix along with fresh beet greens and kale from my garden.

We took off on our morning hike to the top of the mountain and saw a few cars on top but saw no one, not even Zeke came out to greet us. The temps had started to warm up and I had a good sweat by the time we got back. I had spent the best part of the morning cleaning up the truck and Nancy vacuumed it out as well. It sure looked good all spit and shined and I even did all of the rubber seals with a protectant.

We decided since the temps were rising to sit in the shade on the back porch and read for a couple hours. I finished CRUSH by Sandra Brown which had a better than expected ending and then we tuned into the Little League World Series and watch an hour or so until it was time to clean up and head out to the river house. Well all of the food was catered except for the homemade desserts. We had pork barbeque, chicken breasts, slaws, salads, taters, green beans which were all delicious. We mingled with family and friends most of whom we knew already. There was a good number of our church family there as well. We headed out around 7:30 and took a couple new roads on our way home. We found some beautiful farm lands and river bottoms off of Quincy Road and ended up out around the Glade Valley School House. What a beautiful drive with huge rolling thunder clouds off in the distance on the mountain tops. The deer was out as well in most of the meadows.

We got back to the cabin just before dark and settled into the TV and laptop. I watched some football and she was on Face Book. We saw a new video of our youngest grand daughter Eliza Faye as she is now trying to crawl and is moving around on the floor, so cute. We will see her in just about another month or so as we head back for birthdays the end of September for a week or so. Where did this summer go as we head back permanently for the winter the first week in November, LATER
