Well Thursday started off chilly once again with temps in the upper 40's, Fall is definitely here with early evening shadows and its dark by 7:30. The leaves whats left are changing as we speak and its not supposed to get out of the 60's for the next several days, oh well at least the bugs aren't so back. I started the day with a 6'ish 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. Grant is back in the hospital in Charlotte as he just isn't doing well after the removal of a cancerous kidney. He seemed pretty good for a couple of days but hasn't improved at all after that and actually is going down hill, so he is back with more tests to check him out. All others despite some more serious than others are holding with this post.
We headed to Sparta to run some errands and for Nancy to have her gray hair colored once again so I ran to the dump, the post office and then to the library but on the way stopped by the local pickle ball courts and saw 5 people playing, so I stopped to see if I could join them and they were very nice and even let me use one of their paddles. Well I got in a good workout, made some new friends and worked up a sweat for about an hour, before heading on to the local library where I checked out some new reads. While at the post office I saw an old feller with a Viet Nam ball cap on and struck up a conversation and learned he was in 'Nam two years before I was first there in '66. He was a real nice feller to talk too as well and was once a preacher with the Church Of GOD here in the county.
Well we had already shopped at the Food Lion before I dropped Nancy off for her hair appointment so all we had to do was pick up her scripts at Walgreens on the way out of town and we got back to the cabin around 1:30. After a lite lunch of some leftover dogs and a couple 'maters I headed down to Linda and Elaine's to drop off some half runner beans for them that I had picked a day or two before. They are just about gone as the deer have eaten off most all of the lower leaves on them in both gardens.
Well it was time once again to watch some MLB playoff games until late evening and then after a supper of a frozen pizza Nancy had doctored up with some mushroom and black olives and the clean up, I settled into the games until shower time and then some reading a new book about the life of a young Polish teenager will Jewish blood lines who survived the holocaust and has written the story of those experiences in several death camps and the lost of his family except for an uncle who also survived to reunite with him afterwards. Its unimaginable what those Nazi's did to human's especially the Jewish race and anyone who didn't agree with them
Well today is Friday and we got word neighbor Gerald is coming for a work day, so maybe we can saw up the huge branches that are on the edge of his upper driveway next to my property. Nancy refuses to let me use the chainsaw without some one else around, so with him coming we can now get these worked up and out of the way. She is getting ready for Dan and Carol and of course that sends her into panic mode to make sure we have plenty to eat and the cabin is spotless which it usually is, but now that Carol is losing weight because of her inability to chew, we must make food she can easily swallow which has Nancy concerned to accommodate her issues, LATER
