Well Sunday was another beautiful day of cool mornings and warm afternoons and the humidity wasn't bad either. We went to worship at Cornerstone in Sparta after listening to the beginning of our on line service with BridgePoint from Florida and then afterwards had lunch at the Muddy Creek Cafe in town. The rest of the day was relaxing except for an evening hike with just Nancy and I and then an old friend came by for a visit.
I started the day early after a restless night with very little sleep as Nancy had her chain saw roaring through the night. I did my usual morning routines that start with the cup of hot green tea, quiet times and then social media after checking the world news on the Fox Network which is about the only network at times is viable in my estimation and even some of their anchors are becoming somewhat biased against this potus and his policies. All seem well that I lift up to our Creator except for Helen sister, Martha. It seems she has been moved to the rehab before the back issues have been addressed and she isn't liking that decision.
Amy and the family got home on Saturday night safely after their long ride from Kansas and things are back to normal with them. The kiddos start school soon with Eliza now in kindergarten and Amy works full time at her school as well. All is well with Bobby and the new little ones growing in Katie's tummy. It will be a change for us as well with having two babies at once starting in January. How exciting for everyone.
On our hike we saw Eddie Harries for the first time since last October as he has a house on top of the mountain he is refurbishing and is his man cave. We chatted for awhile and then he came down and we showed him around our cabin for the first time and he really seemed to like what we have put together for our 5 months stay here during the summer. He has a very successful leather and silversmith shop down off the mountain and we have become somewhat close friends albeit just when ever he is not on the road. He is the largest provider of horse saddles, bridles etc. engraved with silver in the world and has a shop not far from our area. We took the tour with him a few years back of his business place and wow does he ever put out some beautiful expensive hand tooled products. He stayed for nearly an hour catching us up on all the history of the area and he really knows a lot of folks.
We heated up the leftover Zuppa Soup for supper and sat out on the deck eating in the shade of the evening sunset behind the fall trees surrounding the cabin. After the cleanup we played some card and dice games then called it a day around 10'ish. Today, Monday we are heading down off the mountain to Mt. Airy for some shopping and eating out as well as some sight seeing, LATER
