Wednesday Morning July 23rd

 Well Tuesday started out with my usual before 6 rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet time 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 that we know of. We headed out to Galax, Va. and to Walmart mainly to get the oil changed in the truck and to do some shopping. We had an hour or so wait so I struck a conversation with a feller working the gun area and we chatted for several minutes and told of our stories as we both were about the same age. He at one time lived in Thailand where I use to fly into at Udorn AFB and eventually married a local girl and has now return to the states after many years living abroad; interesting feller and was born and raised not far from Winchester where I grew up, so we had a lot in common.

It was close to 1:30 before we got back on the mountain and had a bite of leftovers and then I settled into mowing all of the yards which kept me busy for the next 2 plus hours. The smell of fresh cut grass is intoxicating and so delicious to say the least. We piddled around the cabin doing some minor chores before a supper of leftovers as we are almost done with them before we leave tomorrow for Woodstock for the long weekend. I did harvest several more cucumbers which I will give away today and probably take some with us to Virginia to give away as well to family. I'm picking 5-6 a day.

We did play a game of hand, knee and foot after supper until her show came on TV and I had the Ray's game on the laptop and I won my game and so did the Ray's after blowing a 4 run lead. Not sure why they are playing down after being on such a win streak before the all star break, oh well. I soon hit the shower and was ready for some horizontal lab shortly there after, LATER
