I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish roll out. I did sleep a little better now that I'm back to wearing ear plugs due to Nancy's snoring. She just will not accept the fact she is so loud and tells me I'm hearing things. I did my usual morning routines with green tea laced with turmeric, quiet times and then checking in on social media and making my comments which are love the LORD first, family second, country third and our awesome Potus Trump. He has done more good for this nation in less than 3 years than all of the combined potus's in the last 50 years; yet we have those libs on the left who are so ill informed and brainwashed by the biased media and academia its almost criminal when you listen to their diatribe. They are attempting to change our culture completely and the folks in this region are standing firm against their idiotic plans. Hopefully the rest of America will stand for this potus in the election of 2020.
Our guests took off for Sparta and the Wellness Center for a workout then had breakfast at Becca's before getting back to clean up and then we headed down off the mountain for the rest of the day. We had a great fun time with visiting old friend and mountain top neighbor Eddie Harris at his leather and silversmith shop in Mountain Park. Wow, what an operation as he gave us the grand tour once again as he did a couple years back with us and the Tracy's. He makes the most beautiful horse hand tooled adornments out of leather and sterling silver. It's a family operation and we met his folks along with 20 or so other employees who are all talented artisans. We have really become quite friendly with Eddie since meeting him on the mountain top at his man cave.
We left there and headed to Mt. Airy to have lunch at an eatery Eddie recommended called So HO. The owner is from Viet Nam and quite personable. We had a delicious late lunch of some sushi type appetizer(no raw fish in it) and Pho which is like a soup but with noodles. Our grand kiddos love this dish and they turned us on to it as well as fried rice and another dish of fresh veggies with beef. All of which was fantastic to the taste. We spent a couple hours dining and chatting with the owner who was quite friendly. It was hot down off the mountain with the car thermometer at 97. We made a few trips on foot down the main street as the girls wanted to visit the many shop's many of which were closed on Monday; little did we known but it saved Dan and I some cash. We headed back on the mountain and the temps were back close to 80. We were so full from lunch that we skipped any formal supper but did snack around 7:30 on some raw veggies and dip and cheese and crackers. They all wanted to watch a 2 hour TV show so I took off up the mountain and hiked the whole usual trip in 30 minutes without stopping which usually takes Nancy and I a whole hour due to her many stops for catching her breath. It was a beautiful evening just as dusk came upon us so I burned the trash for hour until dark.
Well it wasn't after a hot shower and past the 10 PM hour I decided to call it a day and settled in for some horizontal lab. Today Dan and I are doing a kayak trip down the New River while the girls shop in Galax, Va., LATER
