Thursday Morning Sept 15th

 Well this month is half gone and that means 6 weeks until we leave the cabin for Florida. A little Florida warmth would have felt good yesterday morning as the temps got down close to the 40's but it eventually warmed up to the upper 60's with lots of bright sunshine and blue skies.

I started the day with my usual 6'ish roll out to my morning routines that start with some quiet time to honor my Lord after posting this ramble, giving thanks for another day while lifting several up by name for healing and comfort. All seem as well as can be expected due to ages and health issues and I finished up my talk with GOD on my solo hike to the top of the mountain.

We headed to town(Sparta) after a lite breakfast to run errands and catch up on some grocery items as we are expecting sister Dee and Mike for the weekend plus Sheri and Steve are eating supper nightly with us and then playing cards. We haven't turned the TV all this week except for MNF. We have tons of fun and last night was the latest as we got into a Spade game which lasted close to 11. The guys came from behind and won best 2 out of 3 while the gals cleaned our clock in Euchre again.

I picked up a new battery for a widow on top of mountain's golf cart and installed it for her. Birdie is the sweetest lady and we just love to hear her talk her southern accent. She was so thrilled to once again ride the mountain and visit with folks. She is 80 years young and has a small cabin with a huge view on top of the mountain. We knew her husband Barry who passed several years ago but she loves her place and kept it as well as a place off the mountain. She came by after I got back to the cabin and I loaded her up with some tomatoes. She then headed down to visit with the Nymark's as well. She owns a couple lots across from their campground and they maybe interested at a later date of purchasing her lots.

Nancy was in the kitchen all afternoon making a cheese cake as well as putting a salad together and then a pot of Zuppa soup for our supper as well as making bruschetta which is a fav of mine. My basil is growing out of control this summer as it the cilantro and dill, LATER
