Monday Morning Oct 27th...7 days to go

 Well Sunday found us sleeping in for some reason as it was after 7'ish before we rolled out which was quite unusual for me, so every thing we did to get ready for church at 9:30 was abbreviated to say the least, but we got off on time after listening to Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg, Va. message on AI and it was very educational as well as Biblical. Pastor B at our Cornerstone Fellowship had a great message as on walking through the fire that we all will face at times in our lives, but we must maintain our love and loyalty to Jesus and the Bible's messages.

I did not go out and stretch on the back porch or walk the property before we left or anytime during the day which is a first for me in many weeks. After the service since our dear friends the Frankis Family was out of town on vacation at the beach we came directly home and ate leftovers for lunch which held us the rest of the day and evening, until I popped the last of the corn around 6'ish. I was into the NFL starting at 1 and that last until nearly 11 for me as I watched some good games and our local team the Bucs continued to win despite down several players with injuries. The late game was a good game with the Packers coming back to win over the Steelers.

The weather forecast is not great here with rain predicted for the next several days after having almost non stop sunshine and blue skies for several days. The woods can use the rain but with it come very cold temps down into the 30's at night, so hopefully no snow. I did move the porch furniture to the basement so it was dry when I put it up for the winter. We will continue to eat down the freezers with two more suppers here with friends and on Tuesday a going away supper with our couples class. It will be a time of cleaning, sorting and packing on what we take back with us to Florida for the next 7 months. I have the gardens and flower beds ready for winter and just need to remove the batteries for the law mower and golf cart and my main outside chores re finished, except for packing the truck on Saturday. 

We will make a couple more trips to Sparta to check in with post office, the local weekly newspaper and to the landfill as well as pick up my chain saw that I had some work done on it and get it ready for next years cutting. Tonight, Monday we head to our men's class and then on Tuesday our couples class and then have two different families over for suppers, so it will be a busy week but looks like it will be spent mainly indoors with the rain and the cold. I was hoping to get in another couple hikes but that isn't looking to promising, LATER
