Well Monday was really a nice day with lots of sunshine for the most part of the day until the late afternoon when that forecasted rain came true with heavy showers through out the evening and into the night. Hopefully the forecast is correct for the rest of the week with no rain, lots of sunshine and highs for the low 70's.
I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish roll out to my routines that always start with some quiet moments to honor my Lord, give thanks and lifts several up by name after posting this ramble. I finished up with my solo hike to the top of the mountain giving rise to my voice in the great outdoors as I vented to the Creator about my concerns for the nation. I certainly hope and pray HE hears me and the many christians who also have grave concerns to what is happening to America with this corrupt administration in power.
I piddled around outside in the gardens while Nancy did her quiet time and then we had a breakfast around 9 of grits, eggs and a tomato with a jalapeno for me. Which held me until 1'ish when we got back from a together hike to the top of the mountain. It was a long hike as we first walked down the Nymark's campground and then up the back road to the old Joe and Jetta place then across the top and then stopped and chatted with Laura and Anne before heading down the steep backwoods trail. Nancy is still feeling her bone spurs in both heels but hopefully these hikes will help her achilles adjust with this exercise.
We didn't do much after lunch except sit and read on the porches until supper time when Steve and Sheri arrived. We do supper together and they brought some Walleye Pike he had caught while in Minnesota with his son a couple weeks ago. There were 4 nice fillets and when you cut them in smaller pieces to fry it made for enough for everyone to have plenty with one piece leftover. I made a beer batter for it and my oh my was it ever delicious along with some peas, creamed cauliflower and some leftover scallop tatters. We were so full they skipped any mention of dessert. (I'm off desserts again for at least a week, lol)
We played a game of 5 Crowns after the cleanup and gals won and then two games of Euchre which the gals won for a change then they headed back to the motor home just down the driveway around 9'ish. I watched a little of the NFL before hitting the showers around 9:30 as Nancy was on the phone with her buddy Carol from Seminole until I don't know when, LATER
