The afternoon brought lots of rain and cool temperatures so after leaving Sparta and making a stop to look over some land that was for sale we headed on back to the cabin. Even though it was raining and cool the area was beautiful with a few colors left on the ridges and of course the fog covering the mountain tops. We came back and chilled before eating the leftover soup, salad and chicken breasts for supper. Well after cleaning up the dishes which Jerry and Becky insisted on doing, we got ready for some "chickenfoot domino's."
A steady rain continued through out the evening and night and finally stopped this morning with sunshine streaming through the tree tops. Wouldn't you know it just as Jerry and Becky have to leave for Florida the skies cleared off. We sat around the table enjoying the last of the delicious coffee cake Becky made an reflected on the past couple of days. We had such a great time sharing our "cabin in the woods" and look forward to a lasting friendship with these CHRIST loving folks. Their dream is to have a place someday as well in this area. We checked out some undeveloped land and a couple cabins already built. Isn't the computer great for house hunting??
The gals beat out the guys in domino's by a 11 point differential and we then challenged them(gals) once again to the best of a 5 game match in Sequence. Well, we smoked them 4 straight games and we could see the disbelief in their faces so we offered them the same chance to redeem their play as they did us the night before when we were losing. So we decided the winner of the next game had bragging rights for the night much like the night before when we were losing all night and the winner of the last game won the whole thing, kind of like double or nothing. They won the last game in a very close game and were winners. It seems we will have to play the rubber match in Florida this winter.
Well the time just flew by, we ate entirely too much with too many desserts but oh did it taste good. We shared about our pasts, presents, dreams, grand children and of course lots of pics. We had such a wonderful time and are anxious to meet with them again. Jerry and Becky are our son's landlord and friends in Tampa where Element Church is housed. It amazes me how GOD can bring people to gather for the purpose of bringing lost souls to HIM and to think it all started when Element needed a place to gather for worship. Jerry and Becky made that possible by opening their warehouse to Element where others had refused.
Enclosed are a couple pics of Jerry, Becky and of course us. LATER
