Well Wednesday was one of those days which very little was accomplished around the cabin except for a trip to Galax to shop for the shoe boxes for the Christmas Child program run by Samaritan's Purse. We filled three of them and had a fun time shopping for three girls between the ages of 5-7. Nancy managed to get all of our purchases from clothing, coloring books, hygiene products, dolls and some jewelry into each box. We hope the recipients will be as excited as we were shopping for them. Afterwards we met up with Jaime our DPT friend at Macadoo's for a delicious lunch of salads for them and fish tacos for me.
We gassed up at 2.37 before heading back to the cabin where I headed down the drive to scrape some of the loose gravel into the center as the truck tires were spinning coming up the hill. We sat around too full to hike plus it was in the 80's with bright sunshine and some humidity. The shade felt good as we digested our lunch. We were to meet up with the Tracy's for supper at their rental place around 4'ish for supper and games. It's no wonder I can not lose this spare tire with all of the good eatin' here in the mountains. Kathryn fixed a cod fish meal with black beans and rice and a salad which was very Columbian in spices and tastes. The meal was awesome and then we had home made short cake with strawberries, ice cream and whipped cream for dessert, yeow!! We got into the best of three games of Euchre and the boys smoked the gals for a change.
We headed out around 8 as darkness had fallen around the cabin. It was still in the 70's as we headed home. It was soon shower time and then some TV time before the sandman calleth after a few chapters in Stepen King's book IT. We are make traveling plans for our trip to Michigan and then over to see Paw Paw in Winchester before stopping overnight in Woodstock with Mike and Dee. Keep Mike in your thoughts and prayers as he is having a knee replacement on Monday and Dee for his recovery and nursing care, LATER
