Well Saturday was another busy fun filled day that saw us with another much needed rain storm in the early afternoon. It did clear off by late afternoon when we had the family here minus Katie and the boys for a birthday celebration for Ava who will be 13 in a couple of days. Annsley and Gabe wouldn't be able to make it on her date so we celebrated early for their benefit.
I started the day out much the usual with a 6'ish roll out to my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble then spent some time with my Creator giving thanks for the healing of little Huck and Ryder, lifting up several others by name and for my many blessings as well. All of those folks seem as well as can be expected due to health and age issues and I've heard nothing to the contrary. It seems the nation is starting to overcome this virus which has its hot spots due to the closeness of folks living and working together. We have tried our best to just keep our social gathering among family members only and to wear a face mask while shopping. So far we have only known one person with the virus and they caught that on an airplane trip; the rest of his family never contracted the disease but still voluntarily quarantined to ease the minds of the rest of the family.
I got in a good 30 minute bike ride after breakfast and I'm glad I did because while we were to ride the trail with the grand kiddos that never happened due to the storm after lunch time. I mean we had a gully washer for a 30 minutes with strong winds, lightning and thunder. It did cool things down a bit and around supper time or just before we were able to play KUBB in the back yard with the grand sons while I cooked the burgers. We had both deer and beef burgers and they were awesome. Nancy had a big pot of Zuppa Toscana as well to go along with a fresh garden salad. A little fruit of the vine flowed as well among us guys.
We played charades after supper and then the new game again, "I can only imagine if": The kiddos loved that game as all of then played. It was going on 10 before all left for home. The boys are supposed to come home today and hopefully they are well enough to regain to where they were before coming down with this infection. Their recent pics look so much better and poor Katie needs to get some rest before starting her new job next week. We will go over on Wednesday and spend the night helping to care for the boys both days as she gets ready to work from home again after her maturity leave.
It wasn't long until I hit the shower and was soon out for the night after helping put the house back in order. Patrick and Kathryn were visiting the Botbyl's and he stopped in briefly to pick up some cucumbers and egg plants on their way back home. We are getting together with them next Sunday evening for supper here as social distancing is beginning relax with this disease on the way out, we hope, LATER
