Cool morning,Buckwheat Pancakes,Great Hike and Dominos





This morning felt like a fall morning with temps down in the 50's but something in the air made you feel like you could feel that fall was close by. After a quick check for deer damage(no new damage) and our quiet time Nancy once again made those golden brown delicious buckwheat(banana in the batter) pancakes.YUMMMM!!!!


We decided to take a long hike to the top of the mountain where we visited with Nancy and Mike and then a little further we stopped and talked with Tommy and Carole. Both couples live else where.


When we got back Gerald came by and helped me put the topper back on the truck(I removed it for hauling lime) and then I took several pictures of his new cabin that's being built, an about finished.


Nancy and I took a golf cart ride and visited with Grant to invite them up for games this evening when he informed us Shirley had been up all night with some stomach bug. Needless to say we knew what she was enduring(last Christmas we had that bug) so we stayed far away. On the way back we stopped at the mailbox and got our property tax bill for the year, YUCK!!!!!


We did a snack lunch because Nancy was making her great Mexican Rice dish for dinner. That a meal in one dish and very good. We then caught up on some reading and Internet e-mails.


Today was kind of a laid back day with nothing pressing. I made a birdhouse(refurbished an old one) and made a handle for an old hoe out of a piece of oak branch. I love making do with what's on hand instead of always buying new, besides it what pioneers would have had to do on the wagon trains going west.(That's my standard for Nancy.)


Domino's was a success for Nancy as she wiped the floor with us after Eddie got off to a great start. She just broke a 100 and Kimberly was nearly 500 with myself and Eddie in between.


Well, will close for now as tomorrow is nursery day at Cornerstone. It's our turn to love on those little ones and do our part so others can be in the worship service. It's such a joy to be able to serve others.


Later, missing our babies and grand babies Ava and Annsley.
