Well Friday was another rather warm and dry day, warm enough Nancy had the a/c on during the evening after we got back from a hike to the top of the mountain. It was a stay around the cabin kind of day as we get ready for company later this afternoon for the next several days. I started the day with my usual 6'ish rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet time to honor my lord, Jesus, give thanks for another day and then to lift up several by name for comfort and healing after posting this ramble. All are holding but this afternoon we head to our local church for a memorial service for an old friend who passed at a young age from a missed diagnosis that caused him to lose his life from stomach cancer, so sad. Everyone seems to be holding and recovering from major surgery. We took a pot of tatter soup and a mess of half runner beans I picked earlier in the morning down to Grant and Shirley's place as he had a kidney removed that was cancerous and he can not eat any fat, so Nancy found some fat free milk which she made the soup from.
I piddled around in the gardens hand watering once again as we are dry here in the mountains for a change. We sure could use a good steady rain as I'm watering by hand every other day. Not sure how much longer the gardens will survive as the harvesting isn't what it was like a month go. The cucumbers are dried up and the main tomato plants are dying as well and what the deer haven't eaten off is also about gone, anyhow it has been a banner year as I supplied tons of fruits(berries) and veggies to our friends and neighbors.
We visited with the Heglar's mainly Shirley as Grant was in bed and so did Anne and Elaine as we are all here to help with Grant's recovery. Elaine is an LPN and a big help and is always ready to pitch in, in everything especially after get togethers in helping to clean up and do dishes. She is a dream neighbor. We took a hike around 4'ish and it was quite pleasant as the main road on top of the mountain was in the shade and despite it being close to 80 was comfortable, of course Nancy had the a/c on for the first time in several weeks as she has been having the heat on both morning and evenings, but a change this week with much drier and warmer temps.
I skipped any supper as I had a bowl of the Brunswick stew with a slice of homemade bread for a late lunch and just had a handful of peanuts around 7'ish. I did watch the Ray's lose again after being ahead and it looks as if their season will soon be over as there are no chances now to make the playoffs. I tuned into Fox News and watched all of the snippets being shown on Charlie Kirks messages to college kids during his visits to college campus. He was brilliant with his recall of facts especially about the Bible and the history of America. Its no wonder the Left hated him because he use facts over fiction to tell the truth about what was happening to our beautiful country that was founded on the Judeo-Christian ideology and principles.
We will skip football on Sunday and watch the tribute to him in the memorial service in Arizona at 2 PM, and will skip the service at our church as well as our pastor is gone and a guest speaker is in his place. We will watch Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg, Va and then our home church in Florida all on line afterwards. Its amazing the technology today that allows such real time visits, LATER
