Well we finally got some beautiful weather starting Saturday morning and at times during the late evening the temps dropped back to sweater weather with plenty of sunshine, blue skies and no humidity during the day. We headed out after a huge mountain breakfast to visit several homes for sale and I must say these were way out of our market as the cheapest or least expensive was close to 300 K or more; but some were amazingly beautiful home sites and buildings. The Tracy's are looking which they have been doing ever since coming to this part of the country but needless to say not buying, oh well.
We started the day with a 7'ish roll out as I did my routines while most every one was in the sack. Everyone filled up on Nancy's egg casserole, biscuits and juices plus coffee while I had my green tea. I did managed to get in a solo hike after getting back to the cabin around 2'ish. They all had some lunch but a had one too many biscuits with honey and was still satisfied from the huge breakfast. I did the whole hike and it was such a pleasant hike with great distant views for a change. I spoke with Billy for a couple, and Debbie as well. They will start the framing the walls on her folks new home construction this week. This is going to be the master piece of buildings when finished.
I did do a little gravel raking on the hill as I'm still not getting great traction coming up due to the depth of the gravel so I raked some of the deep gravel into the middle of the drive to get better traction, anyhow I did work up a sweat for an hour or so. I noticed the new grasses are showing more color where the stumps were grounded down. Hopefully by next year those areas will be covered. I'm still faced with the leak in the roof which doesn't leak when raining but does when dew and frost drip down the roof; I'm stumped at what is causing that and I'm hoping to get it fixed before we leave in October.
I grilled rib eye's for supper and along with sweet taters and a salad we feasted. Nancy baked the last of her cookie dough after supper for dessert. We played a game of Euchre while waiting for the Lightning game to come on around 8'ish and the guys finally took a win for the first time this week. I sure wish the Lightning had won but they lost in double overtime 3-2 to Dallas. They are still up 3 games to 2 and with a just a win will close out the season and bring the Stanley Cup back to Tampa.
Today is church day so we will all attend Cornerstone then have lunch out at the Muddy Creek and then off to look at more houses in the Laurel Springs area with me as the chauffeur once again, LATER
