Well Sunday was an awesome day of worship both here at the cabin with Bridgepoint Church on line and then again at 10 in Sparta with our mountain church family at Cornerstone Fellowship. The weather was a mixture of rain late in the evening and some clouds but the temps were nice in the middle 70's with mostly sunshine despite the 90% rain chance according to the weatherman.
I started the day much the usual with 6'ish roll out to a quiet cabin as our guests stayed in bed until nearly 8. I did my usual morning routines that started with the cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric and now once again a slice of fresh ginger root while I posted this ramble then spent a few quiet moments with my Creator in thanksgiving and intercessory prayer for several. Afterwards the guests started getting up and hitting the showers and a light breakfast before we started getting ready for church while listening to Bridgepoint on line. We all attend the Seminole campus at home and both Dan and I are part of the 6 AM load in team that transforms the college each and every Sunday into a worship center.
Pastor B at Cornerstone had a good message and we got out somewhere around 11:30 and headed to the local Pizzeria for a filling lunch that starts with their salad bar, all the pizza you want and then some dessert for 8 bucks a person. We met up with our dear friends Mechelle and Caleb who attend church with us and have become one of our very best friends here in the mountains. Afterwards we headed back towards the cabin taking a scenic route that took us near our "mountain moms" cabin so we rang her up and she invited by for a visit. She is such a spry gal at 90 + and we so enjoy her wisdom and sense of humor as well as her energy and work ethic. She had driven her 91+ brother to church and then down off the mountain for breakfast after church to Cracker Barrel. I sometimes wonder why they drive so far when good eatin' is found so close to home and not travel 40 miles to eat an egg and pancakes; but her brother loves Cracker barrel, oh well.
We lounged around the cabin some where reading and on their devices. I noticed neighbor Gerald was up from Blacksburg so I headed down to visit with him and learned he had a 2 day pass for the cabin. He was building a platform bed for one of the upstairs bed rooms for when he has his hunting buddies down in the fall for the deer hunt. He is talking about opening his place up as an AirBNB for a couple months in the Spring and Summer and I think that would be a great idea. I can't convince Nancy to do that when we have no friends here and could make a little cash in between family and friends as we basically run one now but without any compensation, oh well she isn't in favor of that proposition.
We did take off on a hike to the top of the mountain around 5'ish and while there was a threat of rain we never where rained on. Dan and I got in several games of corn hole or toss which ever you prefer to call it on the side deck which is the perfect distance for the game. We decided since we had such a large lunch to eat leftover salads and soup for our supper round 7'ish. I almost forgot to mention when we got back to the cabin after lunch we taught the Botbyl's the game of Spades and played one game with the guys winning(we are competitive) when it comes to games especially Sequence which we will probably play when we get together with the Tracy's who are back from their Canada tour and will be here in the mountains at their rental cabin until October. Everyone wanted to just do their own thing after supper so I listened with ear phones country music for a couple hours while everyone else was on their devices and they finally watched TV around 9'ish. It wasn't long after 10'ish I headed for the showers and then some horizontal lab reading until the sandman calleth, LATER
