Well Wednesday was get ready for the company for supper so the day was spent cleaning, doing laundry and small piddly chores. I did some garden work planting some seeds for a late garden which usually gets taken over by by the cold in October, but I had some seeds that were getting old and I needed to see if they would germinate.
I started the day out with a before 6 roll out to my routines that start with some quiet time with my LORD after posting this ramble to give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name. All are holding due to age and health issues. I finished my quiet time out loud as I did my solo hike to the top of the mountain where the bright sunshine was evident on the east side of the mountain. Our side was still in the shadows but eventually we saw some bright sunshine and blue skies for a couple hours.
Around lunch time it became cloudy and then a hard rain set in for nearly and hour and then we saw some sunshine before dusk. It turned rather chilly after the rain with a strong breeze so I had to don an extra shirt as I sat outside on the porch and watched the Ray's game until the Tracy's arrived at 4. They wanted to celebrate my big day once again with a card and gifts and a dessert Kathryn made with fresh blueberries. We visited then showed them the new game of Skipbo and we played a couple rounds before supper time.
I grilled a basket of fresh yellow and zucchini squash along with onions and fresh mushrooms and then a couple of boneless rib eye steaks as well as corn on the cob. Delicious. Patrick helped me clean up and do the dishes and then we played a game of Euchre which the gals won. They headed out before dark to their rental place west of Sparta. They have their close church friends coming on Friday for a week and we promised to have them on next Wednesday for a supper here at the cabin. We spoke briefly with Bobby who was on the ground from his business trip to Nevada, LATER
