Friday Morning July 12th

 Well Thursday was almost a perfect day weather wise with deep blue skies, lots of sunshine and a drop in temps for most of the day which made for great porch setting and reading. The only missing part was a little wetness as the stiff breeze dried out the top soil so I'll probably give the gardens a hand watering this morning.

I started the day with a 6'ish rollout as we both are still fighting this health set back, Nancy seems to be getting a little more energy back, while I do feel somewhat stronger and not taking to the bed during the day, I'm still feeling the effects of whatever we got. I'm under the impression from what the symptoms expressed on the internet its totally covid without the breathing issues or a strain of it, anyhow I do feel as if I'm getting over it, just not as quickly as I would like. I did my morning routines of 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 seem to be holding with this post. Ava our beautiful grand daughter is healing and now she is going on a youth trip to Tennessee this next week with a stop to hike Stone Mountain in Georgia. She is a wonder with her ability to recover from several severe maladies and she has had quite a few in her 17 years, plus she is just a beautiful person inside and out and of course our first grand child.

Not much to write about except some cucumber harvesting and checking on the gardens. We did get a couple loads of laundry hung outside on the clothesline on this beautiful day. Our main goal was to get better by resting and to clean the house when we feel better. We have no company coming for the immediate future so we can take our time stripping beds and doing some cleaning that will only benefit us now and not for company. We do head out in about 3 weeks or less to Woodstock to visit baby sister Dee and Mike for a long weekend with a cousin reunion in the mix. I'm looking forward to that as I'm the oldest of that group. I hope I make it as a couple of days ago I wasn't sure, but I'm so much better from those days, Thank GOD.

Nancy made a delicious shrimp and pasta dish for our big meal of the day and we picked at some leftovers for lunch. I do need to harvest some wine berries which are just falling off the vines today for my big project. This has been a banner year for berries and the blue berries will soon be ripening as well and the bushes are loaded. I ,after the cleanup from supper tuned into the Ray's vs Yankees game on the laptop and the Ray's won again after a close game at the Trop in St.Pete where we watched them in May before coming to the cabin. What a nice venue but like anything else with major league sports venue its not new enough, Oh well, LATER
