Thursday Morning Oct 19th

Well Wednesday morning wasn't quite as cold as the past couple of days with lots of sunshine and blue skies. It made for a great hiking weather in the afternoon and that's just what we did with Sheri and Steve. It was our last day and evening with them as they pull out for Florida pulling their 20 some foot camper. We did the Sparta thing as Nancy was having her hair colored so I ran to the dump, the post office and then the library while she was there and then we did a grocery run before getting back on the mountain.

I started the day with a 7'ish rollout to my routines since its still so dark at 6'ish starting with some quiet moments to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing. All seem to be holding as I make this post. It's hard to believe this is our last 6 days here at the cabin and while we still have lots to do we are entertaining sister Dee and Mike for a couple of days. What a year for entertaining and my waist line shows it. We had the Nymark's for supper and cards afterwards and it was once again the guys night as we won all three games with the second game a tie in points with over 6 thousand each, so after leading big into the fourth sect the gals made a come back as I had 4 red threes in my foot which was 1200 points but we won by 20 points, wow what a game. 

I grilled marinated chicken breasts and Nancy used up some leftover smashed tatters into fried cakes  along with a fresh salad and some leftover mac and cheese as we are trying to clean out the fridge. Tonight I have two racks of ribs I'll put on the smoker today and then whatever with a salad. We will eat high on the hog again for the next couple of days with them here and of course some more hand and foot card games.They are always fun and of course family, LATER
