Well Thursday was a mixture of work and play both inside and outside as we get ready for two couples this weekend. The weather wasn't bad either except for an occasional cloud with moderate temps which will soon go down this coming weekend as a cold front moves in from the Great Lakes bringing some rain but mostly cold and wind. The leaves are already falling and this should bare up many trees that have changed in color which seems to be almost hourly.
I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish roll out to my routines that start with some quiet times to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for healing. All seem to be holding as I've heard nothing to the contrary. Nancy had the faux fireplace on which does take off the chill an adds some warm ambiance to the cabin. I soon headed out to meet Steve at the bottom of the driveway for an early morning hike which took us up the back road to the top of the mountain, across it then down to his place and back up the driveway for me. It was a complete circle around the the mountain which was probably a good 2 miles or so but so steep in a couple of areas. Needless to say I needed this hike and then later around 3'ish we walked or hiked up to the top of the mountain again and down through some property that is being sold on the court house steps on Oct 31st for taxes. It's 18 plus acres with an abandoned house but the views are awesome.
We came back up the driveway and settled into some internet time after taking down the clothes drying outside on the line. Steve wanted to prepare dinner for us with kielbasa, tatters. onions and peppers along with an Asian salad. It was delicious and we cleaned up every bit before we started on a marathon card playing night. The gals won all three games, albeit by just a few points on the last hand. It was going on 10 when they headed out.
Today we will head over to Tennessee to visit an old church member who moved from Seminole last year and bless them with lunch out. They have had their share of misfortunes and some health issues since leaving Florida but love the land and their new church family, LATER
