Well Saturday was just another beautiful autumn day that started out with mild temps around 50 and warmed up to the middle 70's with tons of blue skies and bright sunshine. I don't believe you could order a more perfect day weather wise. 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 to lift up several by name for comfort and healing, all seem to be holding with this post. I soon got ready after this post and checking on the world news and social media posts to head out to stretch on the back porch and get ready to pick up neighbor Gerald and head to Sparta for some pickle ball.
We met 3 other players and then picked up a fourth for the 2 hour non stop workout on the court and it was great with some good long rally's and I worked up a sweat as well. We played hard and had a great workout and I was whupped by the time we left the courts and headed back to the cabin. We planned on it again next Saturday if the weather holds as a big cold front is heading our way starting later today and the temps will be close to freezing at nights, oh well.
I grilled the last of the ground venison for burgers which were delicious to say the least for our lunch and then it was rest and read the afternoon away. We were heading to an old friends beautiful place and farm for supper and games. It was our sweet friend Kaitlyn's mom Karin and new husband Frank's place. Karin wanted us to see her new kitchen that Jake and Kaitlyn put in for her and it was truly gorgeous and well done. Kaitlyn had brought steaks and twice baked tatters as well as salad and Nancy brought a delicious carrot cake. We guys took a nice tour of his old dairy farm which he converted into a beef farm and the 400 acres he owns own west of Sparta. The setting is just awesome with long distant views up into the mountains of Virginia. It had been a couple years since we had last seen their place and it was a great visit.
The meal was excellent as well and then we played 3 games of Sequence which the gals won all three. Karin was just getting over some surgeries so we didn't stay long as it was already going on 8:30 and it was a 30 minute ride back to the cabin on those dark roads with deer everywhere after dark. Today its worship day both on line and in person at Cornerstone and then lunch out with Jake and Kaitlyn and the kids, LATER
