Wednesday Morning Oct 22nd

 Well Tuesday started out chilly, not really real cold but the breeze made it feel even cooler, but eventually it warmed up to t-shirt and shorts by the early afternoon. I started the day with my usual 6'ish rollout to my routines that start with 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 although some with more serious issues than others.

I headed out after posting this ramble and checking on the world news and social media posts to stretch on the back porch before walking the property to get he blood flowing and checking on the gardens. After several laps around the yards which is quite hilly, I headed in to have some breakfast which was to clean up some cereal and coconut milk. I'm hoping to eat down all that we can before leaving in about 10 days or so.

We are having a huge supper here on Friday night as we clean out some steaks we have had in the freezer and then again next week when we clean out some pork chops as well as lots of frozen veggies and frozen black raspberries as they do not travel well despite being in a cooler, oh well. I headed out to piddle around in the gardens and yards once again raking up pine needles and leaves covering another flower bed which is almost new and one the deer love to eat down anything in it. That kept me busy until we decided to hike to the top of the mountain. We stopped and talked with Billy for a few and learned his old Ford Ranger P/U truck kicked the bucket after over a 100K in miles. He is on the look out for a new used truck.

We came back and had a bite of lunch and then settled into reading on the porches until supper time. We ate early as we had our couples class at 7 PM in Sparta. We had 8 folks for it as several were missing due to health issues. Next Tuesday will be our last meeting for 7 months and while we love the folks I'm hoping we get into a good study about the books in the Bible instead of what we have been studying or discussing which has been a personal study on forgiveness, anyhow its a great topic but after awhile its has become redundant, oh well.

We got back to the cabin around 9'ish and so I read before and after my shower. Bobby's second book has really sparked my interest in the trilogy titled THE EPIC OF HAVEN. I'm looking forward to the third book which we left in Florida to find out how this saga ends, LATER
