Well another first for here at the cabin this summer NO POWER which started sometime during the night but was restored a little after 7 AM. Wow, that sure makes you thankful for the things you take for granted and appreciate this modern convenience. We at least had a burner on the gas grill for cooking and I heated a pan of water for tea for me and instant coffee for Nancy(which she didn't need after all) and a rain barrel full of water for flushing the commode and for drinking if necessary after boiling it(which we didn't need).
Sunday started out with sunshine but the rain set in after lunch time and continued off and on through out the evening and most of the night and its still drizzling here this morning as well. We needed the rain but just not this much as we had some gully washers during the night and evening. I started the day with my usual 6'ish rollout to my routines that start with some quiet time to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name. Nephew Justin is home from the hospital and recovering and daughter Amy is doing much better with meds and everyone else is holding as I make this post. We watched the early service on line at Cornerstone Chapel with Gary Hamrick then headed out to our local Cornerstone Church for corporate worship as well. Afterwards we met up with the Frankis Family for lunch at the Pizzeria and saw several of our members there as well, one member picked up the lunch tab for both the Frankis Family and us. He is an old pickle ball buddy, church member as well and is the manager/owner of a local business which is exploding here in Sparta. Many thanks to Rick and his generosity.
We made a couple of stops first at the library, then at Walgreens and finally at Food Lion for some items for our "mountain mom" and us before heading to her place to deliver the goodies. I also had a mess of beans, cucumbers and peppers from the garden for her as well. We then headed home to settle into the afternoon LLWS game and California won the game in the bottom of the last inning with a home run after the other team came from behind with a grand slam homer. What an exciting game and the Ray's came from behind to once again beat the Yankees at the Trop as well. The rain let up so I headed out around 6'ish to do at least some exercise with walking around the property several times. Nancy decided to join me as well. I sat outside on the back porch until it got too dark to read, finishing up a J.A. Jance novel. She writes a good story with many twists and turns.
I hit the shower around 9'ish then started a new read on the spy's that helped George Washington defeat the British during the war. It's a true read written by Brian Gilmeade who use to be at times on the Fox News network. It's a well researched book and draws the evidence from long ago letters found many centuries after the war. It's quite interesting and I love history, LATER
