Well Thursday was just a beautiful day weather wise with warm temps after a chilly start to the day. I had shorts on until bed time despite wearing a flannel around the evening camp fire with friends. We had a cook out around 5:30 with 14 folks here for our final get together at the cabin this year. Another couple couldn't make it due to sickness. I piddled around outside all morning and most of the day as Nancy and the Botbyl's headed to Old Galax to shop. I decided shopping wasn't for me so I raked leaves and pine needles and covered three more gardens patches getting them ready for the winter and next summers planting.
I had started the day with a 6'ish rollout 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 comfort and healing. All are holding as I make this post and of course we all need to pray for Israel who is at war with terrorists that are inhuman, who butcher babies and women and children. They are pure evil and GOD only knows what they did with those captive women before killing them. There is a place only so low in hell for these evil monsters.
I grilled burgers and dogs and we had a veggie casserole, tater salad, Cole slaw, baked beans and a delicious dessert. We played a round of corn hole and my partner Gerald and I whupped the youngsters two games in a row. That was the first time this summer I had played corn hole. I also managed to beat Dan in an earlier game before the guests arrived. We sat outside by the campfire for a couple hours with the Frankis Family until 8:30. Jake measured the cabinets for pull out drawers which he will install next summer and Katelyn will mow at least once for us before we arrive next year as well. They are like our kids and we consider them family.
Well we watched a little baseball and the NFL game before I quickly became sleepy so I hit the shower and was in bed by just a little after 10. I had a busy day with the early morning hike with Steve at 7:30 as day broke and then up and down the yard throughout the day, LATER
