Thursday Morning Sept 16th

 Well Wednesday was another outside perfect working day and Nancy and I took an abbreviated hike to the top of the mountain together just before lunch.  She is slowly but steadily recovering from this insidious virus. It took us a while but she made the climb and hopefully will get back on this daily regiment. I'm still holding with no affects if and when I ever contracted this virus, Thank GOD.

I started the day much the usual with a before 6'ish roll out now that Nancy is back sleeping with me. She quarantined for a couple weeks upstairs so as to keep me from being in close contact and either it worked or my immune system kept the virus at bay. I did my morning routines that start with the cup of hot green tea while I post this ramble and then some quiet time with Creator and Lord giving thanks and lifting several up for comfort and healing. Most everyone is on the mend or holding as I've heard nothing to the contrary. We won't be going to W.Va. for the memorial service for nephew John as Nancy is just not up to traveling just yet for any distance. We will be there in thought and spirit.

I headed out around 7:30 for my early morning solo hike to the top of the mountain where I'm greeted with the bright sunshine appearing over the mountain edge. Such a glorious sight each morning while I have my venting session with GOD on the way up and back down. I'm begging for some divine intervention for US(A) as we now see how those in power are conferring with our very enemies and undermining the will of the people to destroy this nation, our culture and now our very security by those who control the military. TREASON is all I recognize from the top down and yet we have so many in the nation who subscribe to them and their desire to destroy out way of life.

After a lite breakfast of cereal with a banana and fresh home grown blueberries I headed out to check on the gardens and found a huge slug attempting to get in the lettuce seedling pot. I quickly dispatched it forever under my boot and then hand watered the new seedlings. I hope to move them up into large containers before setting them out in the garden. I decided to spend the next several hours weed whacking all the yards and the driveway. Well that is quite the jog up and down these yards and especially the driveway. Its like another non stop hike. Needless to say the yards needed it as well as the driveway and the results are awesome. That will probably be the last tine I do the driveway this year.

We had invited neighbor Steve up for spaghetti and meatballs with a fresh salad and garlic bread. DELICIOUS as usual and we sent enough home with him for a couple lunches. Seems he will be leaving on Saturday for the drive back to Seminole for a couple weeks before arriving back with Sheri and their daughter and husband. We want to do some touristy things with them when they come like the Creeper Trail in Damascus, Va. We played a round of 5 Crowns and then a round of Oh -ell which was the first time for Steve. He likes to be home before dark so we cut it short and he was out of here before 8. I missed watching the Ray's lose in an early game against the Jay's, oh well not really. They had better stay on top with their A game as the season is drawing to a close and the Jay's are in pursuit of the lead in the division. We had several phone calls checking on Nancy which is a plus, LATER
