Well Tuesday started out much the usual with a well before 6 rollout to my routines that start with some quiet moments to honor my lord, Jesus, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing and once again for grand daughter Ava who is in the hospital with a burst cyst on her ovary. She finally quit bleeding as we were so concerned she may need to be operated on to stop the bleed but that stopped late afternoon and while she is still in the hospital things are looking better to where she may be released this day. Praise GOD for all who kept her prayed up throughout the day and this event.
It was a non stop day here at the cabin except for a couple hours when Bobby and Katie took the boys to meet up with Danielle and Neal at the park in Sparta so the young kiddos could play. The morning started around 7'ish with the twins heading down stairs to watch some cartoons on my lap then it was mountain breakfast time with pancakes, eggs, bacon and juice etc. That held us as we all but Nancy and Annsley took a hike to the top of the mountain. Nancy did meet us as we headed up the driveway and she was able to get in some exercise on the steep driveway, but of course she was on her feet in the kitchen through out the day.
I had 3 racks of ribs on the smoker as we had invited the Botbyl's and the Anderson to join us for a supper of corn on the cob, salad, Cole slaw and ribs. We all sat outside on the deck in the shade on this still very nice day. It was quite chilly to start with temps in the 50's. The kiddos were picking wine berries throughout the day as they are coming in, in abundance so that kept them occupied and their bellies full. After everyone arrived it was game on with badmitton, corn hole, airplane tosses another game Neal brought. The kiddo's had a ball playing with one another and Gabe even took all of them on several golf cart rides. After supper it was out by the fire circle and the kiddos had smores and even some of the adults. It was a fun family and friend time up until dark when the kiddos started seeing and catching fire flies or lightning bugs as we called them.
We hit the shower by 9'ish and the I hit the sack around 9:30 as well after a hot shower. Today is another busy day as we head down to Boone/Blowing Rock for a zip line event this morning and then lunch/supper out there at the Peddling Pig, LATER
