Saturday on Sunday Morning

Well the start of the day looked like a wash out but the skies cleared off and the temps were pleasant at the start of the morning at 62, Wow it was closer to 3o degrees warmer than this morning. Anyhow the wind was blowing 15-20 mph with leaves falling like rain. After our quiet time and a lite breakfast( I broke 4 days of oatmeal with a piece of leftover apple pie with milk on it) we started the day. Actually it was about 10:30 when we headed to the top of the mountain for our daily hike. Missing a day hiking seems to make the hills grow steeper but we made it without taking a rest stop but we had to force ourselves. I like it better when it just comes naturally without telling ourselves we are getting to fat to make the climb. You know the old saying "the truth hurts."

After our hike we had a great lunch of fresh salad. Some how salad tastes so much better when my garden has quit producing all the great home grown veggies and you have to buy them from a store and GOD only knows who has picked or handled them plus the cost of a tomato is a buck each. Oh well!!! Nancy wasn't feeling he greatest after our hike so she chilled on the bed reading. I flipped on a little college football but the warm temp's and bright sunshine was calling my raking muscles. I raked the front yard of the pine needles and cones and mulched the front flower beds. I used the rake to flip the cones over the fence(instead of bending down) and into the woods with a little wrist action thus making a game of it; sorta like kicking footballs for field goals. By the end of the raking period I was flipping them 20 feet in the air an over the fence. Man am I creative and I know how to make work fun; the only thing that was missing was the roar of the crowds.

We headed out to the Daltons around 5 for supper and Sequence. I must say Kay made one of the best lasagnas I've eaten in awhile. Her special salad dressing for the fresh salad was good as well. I believe she made from a secret recipe from a lady who was close to a century in age.Supper was fabulous and Nancy's cheesecake with blueberries and whip cream sent us over the top. So much for any weight loss yesterday after all that and garlic bread as well. Why can't we just eat oatmeal three times a day, YUCK!!!

Well I must comment on our Sequence play; started out with a complete shutout in game one, the girls never got a sequence and we were playing with Caleb filling for Andy. Andy we hope is feeling better. Now that I think about it we were winning or tied most of the evening playing with Caleb until someone started picking on him causing him to tire out, Nancy. Anyhow after Caleb (who is 8 years old) retired to playing cars and trucks with cousin Dylan, things went down hill fast. Eric, Mechelle's brother played a Harvey Hand in Caleb's place. Once again the gals harangued him constantly until finally they had an insurmountable lead and we just called it;"no mas, no mas" much like a prize fighter we once knew.

It's off to worship at Cornerstone. LATER
