Saturday Morning Oct 7th

 Well Friday wan an adventure as we traveled to Mountain City, Tennessee to visit an old church friend who moved about a year ago from Seminole. She and her husband bought a fixer upper and turned it into a very nice place on an acre of land. It was about a two hour drive through the mountains on this bright sunshine warm day. I wore shorts and a short sleeve shirts but all that changed weather wise over night when we got so light rain last evening and a front blew in with wind and much cooler temps. We did our morning routines that start with some quiet time to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift up several for healing as well as pray for a safe trip on this adventure. 

We rode with Sheri and Steve and then made a couple stops to and back from there. It was basically an all day event as we took this couple out to a small cafe in town for lunch and then stopped in Jefferson at an Ingles store for some last minute shopping before two other couple join us for the weekend. We got back on the mountain and I hiked around the yard and driveways a few times to get some exercise and then the Nymark's came up around 6'ish and I popped corn for our evening snack. We had such a large late lunch in Tennessee that held us for the rest of the day.

We played 3 games of hand and foot and the gals won 2 out of 3 once again in very close games. They left around 10'ish for their place and I hit the shower and was soon asleep under an extra blanket. It was raining softly through out the evening and at times just dripping off the roof. This morning there is quite a change with the driveway covered in fallen leaves from the wind and the temps down in the 40's. There is a chance of frost tonight according to the weatherman, oh well. We have about three weeks before we head south with the birds and just maybe I'll be looking forward to it, with this cold weather, LATER
