Well it was a lite rain and very cold to start the day but by mid morning the rain stopped and we saw maybe a few moments of sunshine but not enough to warm the atmosphere as it stayed in the 40's all day long. Since the rain had stopped I ventured out to finish up some yard and garden chores for the biggest part of the day. I wrapped fences around the hydrangeas by the front porch and the well house which the deer will have eaten down by the time we get back in May/June.
I started the day with my usual 6'ish rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet times to honor 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 did head out after the rain stopped to stretch on the back porch before walking several trips around the property as I needed the exercise before coming in and having some yogurt and a banana for breakfast as I'm trying to eat as much from the fridge that we don't throw away or carry back to Florida with us on Sunday. We bought lots of yogurt for Carol when she came because she is having chewing issues and this was a soft food which helped her, but we have a huge container plus some small ones and of course the bananas go bad quickly here with the heat on constantly. I knew we were eating large at 7 ish as we met with our couples class for a meal that honored us and our last time with them for at least 7 months.
Nancy made a chicken and pasta dish that everyone raved about and even one gal took what was left home with her, there went my entree for tonight, oh well. Francine is a hoot and we just love her. There was ton's of delicious dishes starting with salad's, spaghetti, mac and cheese and appetizers as well as desserts. We just visited and the group decided they were through with this study which had become redundant and some what boring. We were always spending a lot of time discussing current issues and going down rabbit holes with the study which was good for about 2 lessons on forgiveness, which is a major theme in that GOD's forgiveness to us in the form of Jesus dying in our place and us asking for forgiveness for our issues and giving forgiveness to others as Jesus forgave us. We have been in that same work book all summer and most were ready to do a study on one of the books of the Bible instead of a theme, oh well. Its seems last night was the ending of the class until some time this next year when we all meet again.
We got home around 9:30 and I settled into and inning or two of the world series and the Blue Jays were trying to ties the games up to two a piece and the score had them ahead when I hit the shower and then some horizontal lab around 10:30. I'm not planning to head back off the mountain again except to fuel up on Saturday as we have two more meeting with friends here for meals on Thursday and Friday. We are eating down the freezers as we entertain dear friends; the Frankis Family on Thursday and then Mechelle, Billy and Caleb who we have know since he was knee high to grasshopper. He is trying to get me some venison to take back with us on Sunday, but if not thats fine. We have been thrilled with his life's decisions and he has turned out to be one honorable man who has made us proud, LATER
