Well the 4th was a busy day that concluded with beautiful fireworks in Sparta after a fun filled day. The heat was back during the day and the younger crowd headed down off the mountain to Stone Mountain Park for some rock sliding into the cold waters. All the kiddos and their parents attended that event while us grandparents stayed at the cabin and played cards after lunch.
i started the day with my usual before 6 rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet times to honor my lord, Jesus, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing. All are holding and Ava Mae seems to be progressing as well. I headed out to check on the gardens and harvested several yellow squash for a casserole that Nancy took with us the Anderson place around 6'ish for supper. I also harvested my first couple of cucumbers and then cut three heads of lettuces to give away also. I took the twins with me to visit these neighbors and bless them with the fresh produce.
Bobby and myself with Katie and Ryder took a hike up the mountain and wow was it ever starting to get hot up there after a pleasant start at our place. We met several folks on top and walked with them for awhile before heading back down the mountain. It was then wine berry picking time with the grands and then some golf cart rides. Everyone came for lunch so we had a house full and then everyone headed to the sliding rock event to cool off.
After showering for most everyone but Nancy and I before we headed to Sparta to eat and visit until the fireworks started around 9:30. They were loud and we had a great seat for the event. It was nearly 10:30 before we hit the shower after getting back on the hill and then it was bedtime for me, LATER
