Well Friday found us with decent weather but a little on the cool side with overcast skies and some fog to start the day but no measurable rain but that has changed this morning with a light rain already to start the day, oh well. I did my usual routines of posting this ramble and then some quiet moments to honor my LORD and give thanks for another day then finished up my talk with GOD on my solo hike to the top of the mountain. There was some blue patches of blue sky but off the mountain it was a fog bank and eventually it cleared off around lunch time.
I worked outside after a mountain breakfast of blueberry pancakes, sausage and eggs which held us until around 2'ish. We were having our Bible study small group at 6 so we decided to eat early and skip supper. I headed out in the golf cart down to Steve and Sheri's place with the weed whacker and trimmed up the areas where they would be using right away and then along the road as they were heading in for a week or so and while I was heading down the drive way it needed some raking of the ruts from the washout down pour a day ago. This has been a summer of extremes; weeks without rain and then days where it rains with gully washer down pours. I think we've had close 5 inches of rain this past week and its raining lightly as I write this post, oh well.
We made a couple stops after eating our big meal as we visited with Grant for a few who has the first cabin on our road into the cabin and then to visit with the Nymark's after they got in with their large motor home. Grant mentioned that George who has a cabin also on our road is suffering from Alzheimer and is in bad shape and his wife Gail is legally blind and can not drive. That is why we haven't seen them this summer. So sad to hear this news as they live close to Grants place off the mountain. It was great to see the Nymark's and they have spent the summer on the road with family in Minnesota,Tennessee and Nevada. They will be here for a week or so before going back to Floridas and then up to Minnesota and back here at their place in October for a couple weeks. Wow they keep us worn out with their travels.
Our small group last evening was awesome but several were out with traveling and some sickness and we plan on attending next Thursday's small group as we are expecting the Dillon family over the weekend and will miss Friday's class. Both Friday and Thursday's group are led by the same folks yet studying different topics. We really enjoy the folks as we are all with the same mindset about the truth of GOD's word and has its being watered down with this progressive wokeism in todays society to fit their agendas, LATER
