Well Tuesday was another busy day as we were expecting daughter Amy and family to arrive around 5'ish from Florida . They were escaping the hurricane which originally was forecasted to strike the Bay Area with a force of wind and rain as we live only a few miles from the gulf. Our son Bobby lives closes to 40 miles from the water so he has planned on riding the storm out. The last forecast was for the storm to make land fall south of the Bay Area thus avoiding a direct strike. We will see as this thing has wobbled all over the place.
I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish rollout to cool temps. I did my usual routines that start with some quiet time to honor my LORD, give thanks and lift several up by name after posting this ramble. I finished up my talk with GOD on my solo hike to the top of the mountain where I was greeted with a beautiful sunrise. I didn't see any critters except for one squirrel.
Nancy had a 10'ish hair appointment in Sparta so I loaded up the trash and then items we were donating to the Alleghany Cares while she was getting her hair done and then I headed over to the public library to read for an hour or so. We have a very nice library for this small town and community. We made a stop at Food Lion to stock up for the Ross Family who will be here through Saturday or until they get power back at their residence in Florida. Hopefully they will not any suffer any damage or loss of power from this storm.
Nancy was in the kitchen all afternoon making soup, cookies and preparing for their arrival which occurred around 5'ish. We decided after they settled for a half hour to take a hike to the top of the mountain as they had been in their car for 12 hours or so. They left around 4 in the morning and had no issues along the way except for potty and food stops. Their big dog Rocky was a hoot when they let him out of the car. I think he remembered being here in June as he ran non stop around the yards and up the mountain on our hike. Sam brought his drone and flew it was several minutes which takes beautiful pics and video of the mountain. It was up there several hundred feet and came back and landed on the starting pad, amazing the technology today.
We ate a huge delicious supper of left over ribs, tortilla soup and parsley taters and some leftover cake as well. Afterwards we settled into the Ray's game as the kiddos got their baths and they watched some HGTV while Tyler and I watched the Ray's on the laptop. They all hit the sack around 10' ish as did I after a hot shower on this cool evening, LATER
