Well I must say it's really quiet around here especially at this time of the day when the twins were usually up awaiting their morning feeding and did they ever like to eat. It was a rowdy 4 in the morning when the Triplett Family awakened and about the same time for the Ross Family as everyone would leave within the hour for Florida. We tried to go back to sleep or at least I did but I got up while Nancy did sleep in until 7'ish.
It was a work day around the cabin and while I wanted to go to Sparta to the dump I learned it had closed early so neighbor Gerald helped to alleviate the problem with the back of my truck filled to the brim. He gave me some huge black bags and I filled 5 of them with the real garbage and loaded them into his truck. A lot of the garbage was several bags of Christmas wrappings, paper, cardboard boxes, etc that could be burned so I had a nice bon fire for a couple hours. Gerald is just a great neighbor and friend and we are thankful for his friendship and willingness to help with any situation plus looking out for our place when we are gone.
We worked tirelessly in the upstairs, stripping beds, putting away the baby beds, vacuuming and leaving it winterized except for the plumbing which I will do on Monday around 3'ish. It was a job taking off the mattresses in the basement and moving them up two flights of stairs and then stripping the beds in the basement as well. The washer and dryer never stopped for the rest of the day as we did sheets, blankets, towels and our clothes. We still have several loads to do today(Sun). We will take down the Christmas tree today as well and winterize the down stairs before hitting the sack tonight.
Its foggy and dreary outside but doesn't seem to be as cold as usual. While posting this ramble I'm looking out into the backwoods yards and notice how green the grasses are and the kale and collards in the garden look like they could be eaten despite all that cold weather and snow which covered them last week, oh well.
On a great note the kids all got home safe and sound some an hour or so before the other as many stops were made along the way. We hopefully will see the Ross Family on Monday evening as Amy will prepare supper for us.
Nancy made a trip to Sparta for some shopping one last time until June. The town is dying with most of the shops closed even on Saturday. I'm sure many small towns are hurting due to this lock down the gov't has convinced folks to obey. I'm at a loss the big stores are allowed to be open putting the smaller independents out of business. I think this is the start of a big gov't take over especially if the congress allows this illegal election to succeed with Biden in control. It's tyranny at its best and the loss of our freedoms have just begun. America will never recover if these who stole this election are allowed to rule.
Well I better cut this short as we slept in this morning and its already after 8. I'll hopefully make a post on Tuesday morning if all goes well. Keep us in your thoughts and pryers for traveling mercies, LATER
