Well the day started out a little on the warm side as we emerged from a 7 o'clock sleep in and after our quiet times and a bowl of oatmeal we got to "crack a lackin" as we were expecting our second family visit this summer. My first cousin Tammy, husband Rich and daughters Megan(11) and Brooke(7) were driving up from Shallotte, NC to take the girls to camp at Nebo, NC and decided to visit us en route. Its their first time in the mountains so I decided to give them a real first time treat of hiking to the top of our mountain. We all made it some more easier than others but we certainly did work up an appetite for those hickory smoked ribs that had been in the smoker since 11 AM. They declined the offer of working up an appetite for breakfast.
The morning found some of us up after 7 once again and Nancy once again prepared a mountain breakfast of cakes, eggs and country ham, YUMM to that again as some were not breakfast eaters. The gang decided to head out just before lunch and head down to Blowing Rock to fram around before heading down to the camp. The morning started out with temps down in the 60's with a nice breeze and the lower humidity. The girls got in a couple checker games and played quite well for their ages. Well it was good to re-connect with Tammy and the family as Nancy had never met Rich and the girls.
Well after they left we did some laundry and I transplanted some yellow squash seedlings and then took all the plants and stored them down below the back porch near the drip line. We then took off for a hike and came back to eat a salad for lunch. Well it will be good to see our babies and grand babies as well as Nancy's folks. Next week is nearly filled as it looks like no pickle ball until next Thursday. Certainly hope I can get in at least one day of play.
Well will get out of here as we will be traveling on Friday. LATER
