Thursday Morning Sept 8th

Well Wednesday was another work day here at the cabin and eventually we got lots of sunshine. The temps were quite nice with a nice breeze after a some what chilly start to the day. I started the day with my usual 6'ish rollout to my routines that start with some quiet time after posting this ramble to honor my Lord and give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name. I got word and old neighbor lady and friend passed away at the young age of 90 on Monday. I hadn't seen her in years but she was quite the character growing up not far from where I did.

I did my solo hike to the top of the mountain to finish up my talk with GOD and then Nancy and I took a together hike later in the morning. We stopped and talked with Billy on top of the mountain who is a good guy with his wife and they care for her mom who is 102 and lives in Winston. They take turns staying with her along with her sisters so they are gone from their place a couple of days a week. We haven't seen Ann and Frank or Laura as she is recovering from a broken butt bone as they are on the go all the time. We walked across the top of the mountain and saw Rick who lives in his mothers old cabin at times but he sometimes goes away for months working with fire disasters and FEMA.

We headed back to the cabin for a lunch of fresh garden salad with tater salad on top and sliced tomato's from the garden which are delicious, yeow. I sat and read for a couple hours after hauling a load of dirt and spread it on some low places in the yard during the morning. I did some piddly chores around the cabin as well. We got word the Tracy's left a day earlier than scheduled for a stop in Murphy, N.C. They really enjoy this area but are always looking for the right place. I don't know if they will ever purchase a place in the mountains as he is not an outside yard person.

Well I'm to take our "mountain mom" Helen to Elkin this morning for a doctors appointment to get a shot in her knees. She can barely walk as its bone on bone and the shot giver her some relief. She use to get it in Sparta but the doctor no longer comes up the mountain to see patients.

We cleaned up a leftover for supper and then took a golf cart ride out to the mail box. I came back and walked the yards then settled into the Ray's game which they won again, LATER
