Well it wasn't quite as cold last night as the night before although we still have the gas heater on to keep the chill out of the cabin. The flannel sheets sure made a difference with sleeping. That is one cozy sleep, Uhhh!!! After just a cup of hot green tea we headed out to Sparta for the doctors office as Nancy was due to have her 6 month blood check-up, since she takes Lipitor and a couple other 'scripts. Tests results will be available when we are in Florida next week, but her blood pressure had dropped to within the normal range and was even a little better than expected. We found the correlation between coffee and all the stuff she puts in it like lots of cream and sugar may have an effect as well. She has gone about a month now with just an occasional cup, Yeah. I quit that stuff about 5 years ago and I couldn't feel better.
After the doctors visit we headed to Browns restaurant for some breakfast and wouldn't you know it several cups of coffee for Nancy, HA!! What a way to celebrate!! After eating we made a couple stops before heading back to the cabin. The Dalton Gang was coming for supper so we had to be ready; vacuuming(my job), spud peeling, bean snapping, etc. We managed to get in a super hike to the top of the mountain for about an hour. The day was magnificent with a strong breeze, lots of sunshine and blue skies. The forecast was for rain later in the day and we did get a light shower just after dark. I was able to burn a couple days worth of trash. Everything here has to either be burned or hauled off to the dump. Since the dump is about 8 miles away its easier to burn the trash less the tin cans.
The Dalton's and Luffman's arrived around 6 and Nancy had a sumptuous meal of roast pork tenderloin, fresh green beans, smashed spuds with pork gravy and the Gang brought a Ramen Noodle salad as well as a fresh baked apple cake. Delicious!! Prior to eating I open the first bottle of this years homemade black berry wine. Most of us had a small taste and I must say it was the best I have ever made. Of course this is only the second year of this adventure so I'm learning and having fun.
After eating the game was on, Sequence. We were a player short as Andy, the deerslayer was getting over a bout with poison oak and opted not to infect any of us so he not only missed the good eatin' but the loss at the hands of the gals once again. Wow they sure seem to win a lot lately.Good playing, gals. They headed out around 10 AM as Caleb was getting sleepy after the gals beat upon him as he stood in for his dad during the game. Well we are fixin' to have some breakfast as Nancy is frying up some 'taters, eggs and toast this AM. The temp this morning was 48, its still a little nippy but should be a great day weather wise. This will probably be our last post until we get to Florida for a week of celebrations of birthdays; G/G, Tyler and Annsley. Lots of dinners. Well we hope to get up back up here for another 3 weeks before heading back to Florida for the winter. LATER
