Well Thursday was another beautiful day with cool temps, no rain and plenty of sunshine. I didn't do much after running errands for most of the morning except I did get in two hikes, both solo which helped with the exercise. It was the first time I had been on top and across the mountain this week or more and I didn't see anyone there.
I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish roll out to my cup of hot tea while I posted this ramble and then some quiet time with my Creator and Lord giving thanks and lifting several up for comfort and healing. I had spoken with middle sister Pat whose son John passed a way from the virus and they are starting to heal and deal with his lost. I told her we wouldn't be coming for the funeral due to Nancy's infection by the virus and we would just be coming off the quarantine. Nancy is having moments where she is doing great and then all of sudden feels as if she is going down. So far I've escaped the virus, thankfully.
I headed out around 7:30 for my early morning solo non stop hike to the top of the mountain and then down the golf cart trail to the bottom where Steve has his place with the motor coach. He sometimes meets me and walks with me down the road where we catch up on his projects. He now has the pump in and working for his well so he has plenty of water and now he is remodeling the shipping container putting in a bathroom and kitchen. It's looking great. We haven't been able to get together because of Nancy's infection even though he and Sheri took the shot.
I headed out around 9:30 for Sparta and made a quick stop to pick up some garbage Steve had for the dump. I had several bags as well. After the stop there I headed to the library for a couple new reads and then a stop at Walgreens for Nancy's script before heading over to Food Lion for some goodies. I was back home by 11:30 which surprised Nancy's. It sure beats the usually 3 hour trip to Galax. I had just an apple for breakfast so I was hungry so I had a bite of lunch which included some sliced tomato, onion, jalapeno pepper with some mayo and cold meat loaf. I skipped the bread despite buying a nice loaf of sourdough bread at the grocery. We had leftover's from the freezer for supper which were delicious. It was one of Kathryn's dishes she made while here a few weeks and we just added fresh pasta, wow, so good. After the clean up I headed out to walk around the yards and check on the gardens.
I had read for most of the afternoon sitting in the bright sunshine which is supposed to help the immune system fight this virus and thus far its helped me, plus we are doubling up on vitamins and supplements. FedEx was supposed to deliver my order from Amway but they never did and the excuse was as always their GPS is off, oh well.They are now sending it snail mail so who knows when we will get
the order. UPS came by and delivered a package and they had no problem with address. FedEx has been here several times over the years but in June they messed an order for Amy when they were here.
Well I stayed until midnight watching the Bucs beat the Cowboys in a close game. Brady was exceptional but 4 turn overs and injuries nearly cost the Super Bowl winners the game. The Cowboys played tough and much better than I expected. The old internal alarm went off before 6 so it was a short night, LATER
