Well yesterday was a milestone in our marriage as we celebrated 43 years together. I thought just that age was old but to be married that long was ancient, oh well. I have to admit I'm a senior citizen whether I want to or not, I just don't have to act like one. We had a good day as we ran errands in Galax,Va. which is triple the size or more of Sparta as we did some shopping and used up an Applebee's gift card we've had in our wallet for months. The fare hasn't changed much which is usually eatable at best and yesterday Nancy's broccoli in her dish was bad so she didn't eat it. We are glad that card has finally been removed and no new ones are there.
I started the day with my usual 6'ish roll out to my routines that start with some quiet time after posting this ramble. I finished up my quiet time on the solo hike giving thanks for another day and honoring my Lord as well as lifting several up by name for comfort and healing. All are holding at this time. I loaded up the truck with several garbage bags and dropped them off on the way to Galax at the dumpsters at Cumberland Knob and then we ran errands to the post office, bank, Lowes and finally Walmart where we loaded up again. Afterwards it was going on 2 'ish so we ate at the AppleBees in the area of Walmart and then stopped for gas before heading to our mountain moms place. She needed an item and then we brought her supper. We visited for a few as the temps dropped outside from in the low 80's to the upper 60's. A strong wind made it feel even colder as the day wore on.
It was going on 4'ish by the time we got back to the cabin and unloaded everything so we decided to read and digest the rest of the afternoon and evening. I was full from the late lunch and that held me the rest of day whereas Nancy has some snacks since she didn't eat all of her lunch(I helped her with her's). Initially the appetizer was tasty and then the entree looked great and tasted good to me and her at first but her bad broccoli put a stop on her eating so I picked at her leftover dish, oh well.
She was on the phone with a friend from Florida both Bobby and Amy called with congrats as well as over a hundred friends wrote their well wishes and congrats on FB. I tuned into the Ray's vs Blue Jay's game and they won as well. It was a fun day and we even congratulated ourselves on 43 years together, LATER
