Sunday Morning Sept 4th

 Well Saturday turned out to be another gorgeous day all day and evening long. It was a mixture of some work and mostly play as we headed out around 2'ish to run some errands after a stop at our mountain mom's place and then over to the Tracy's for what will be our last rip to that rental place ever as the Tracy's head back to Florida next week. Kathryn had a delicious supper for several of us and then we headed down town Sparta for the Music on the Main which featured three guys on guitars as the head liner. There were a couple of bands and we listen to Crossfire which featured a friend of ours on the banjo.

I start the day much the usual with a 6'ish roll out to my routines which include some quiet time after posting the blog and then I finished with my solo hike to the top of mountain and my talk with GOD along the way. We spoke with our son in Florida who has the twins by himself this weekend as Katie is with family out of town. He also had his first ball game of this season and they won 12-2 and his son Gabe played great and is the leader on the team both pitching and batting.

I piddled around in the gardens and yards until lunch time when we ate lite as we were eating large around 4:30, of course we had finger foods when we first arrived around 3 at the Tracy's and got in two games of Euchre before every one arrived at 4. The boys whupped the gals two games in a row once again. We ate outside on their deck after all the introductions. Mechelle's new boyfriend seems like a good feller with a sense of humor. He is a logger with his dad and grew up in the county and he and Mechelle went to school together. Caleb came but his girl had to work at the country club as a server. We already knew her from Cornerstone and he is just a few years her senior. He likes his new job putting saw mills together which is big business as there are only 2 plants in America manufacturing these saw mills.

Gerald and Kay were their old selves as we have always liked them except for Kay's politics which is beyond me how she can support the democrats. After eating and socializing we headed to downtown Sparta for the evening which lasted until nearly 9. This was the first time we ever stayed until the end as the Texas Hill group were very entertaining. They have been featured on several TV talent shows and were great vocalist but also very talented guitarist as well. Nancy bought one of the CD's as well.

Well today is church day and then lunch out at the Pizzeria with the Tracy's and tomorrow is Labor Day with Patrick and Kathryn coming for the afternoon of cards and a cook out. They leave in a couple days and will look for another place next year to rent, LATER
