Well Sunday started out early for me as I helped with my last load in at 6 AM for BridgePoint Church at SPC until November. It was a day of mixed emotions as we said good-bye to many with lots of hugs and a few tears and "when are you coming back". It's the same when we leave the mountains and come back to the flatland as we both shed a few tears whether coming or going. We have made some many friends this year at BridgePoint as we helped with the start up of the Seminole campus.
It was another hot muggy day until the late afternoon when we finally got some reprieve from the heat. After church we met up with the Botbyl's at Willie Jewels which is fast becoming our barbecue place. Wow the food is fast and hot and so plentiful that I brought half of mine home. Their collard greens are delicious as is their beans, french fries, mac and cheese and green beans. The seasoning is down home countrified. We saw several old friends there from SGBC as well as a few from BridgePoint. Good eatin' to say the least.
I stayed around the house while Nancy headed to the mall. She will be limited to once a week starting next week so I think she is trying to get her fill of shopping. I watched the Ray's lose another close game and then I finished a good true story about a family who lived on a desolate island called Whale Island east of Nova Scotia. It is really a memoir or almost daily recording by each family member much like the blog I write daily. Interesting. We decided on a bowl of popcorn for our supper after the large late lunch. I have enough leftovers for lunch today(Mon.). I hand watered the seedlings and so far they are looking decent despite the heat and the lack of rain. It seems we went in a spell of too much rain and now not enough. I had to water the Crepe Myrtle tree as I noticed some of the leaves were sagging but did notice the buds had become to bloom which appear to be a deep pink or purple. There are 4 or 5 clusters on the tree and it seems it has grown a feet in height since planting.
We watched our Legends and Lies on Fox Cable which is about the Civil War. It is a great history lesson told from both sides of the issue of slavery that eventually led to the killing of Lincoln and the root cause of the war. I know it was about states rights but the real issue was set forth in Lincoln's Gettysburg address that all men were created equal despite their origins of birth. Well afterwards I watched a little of the pre meeting between our duly elected POTUS and the dictator of North Korea which is historical in just the fact they will meet tomorrow. The pundits are all critical of Trump but he has done more for our nation that the past 5 potus's and especially the last treasonous Obama who sold the nation out to a country who leaders chant "death to America". He was an absolute dismal failure in securing America while giving away our nations treasure which I'm sure ended up in his off shore bank accounts as well as those in his party and administration.
That was about it for the day as I hand watered the garden again just before dark and making plans on all I have to do in the next couple of days before leaving. Nancy saw some ants on the porch and is hysterical to say the least and she puts out traps, ant powders and sprays constantly, LATER
