Saturday

Well yesterday(Sat.) was the hottest day we have ever had at our place, 93 in the shade on the back porch at 5 o'clock. The humidity was just a bit high as well but by evening it had cooled down to the 80's. The morning started out with 70's and we mananged to get a few chores done before heading up the mountain for a hike, we stayed on the back road so as to stay away from the sun side where there is no shade.

We were contemplating what we must do with regards to her dad's deteriating health and decided to pack up and head to Florida. After a call to him he begged us not to come home until after his doctor's appointment on Tuesday as he said he felt fine and was eating good but was getting some fluid build up in his legs and lungs. So we decided to wait out the weekend per his request and see what if anything the kidney doctor can do to relieve some of this fluid. Regardless of what happens we have decided it may be best to travel back to Florida probably this next week because of his age and circumstances.

Saturday afternoon found us staying in out of the heat mainly reading and watching TV. Eddie came by on his motor and visited then Nancy and I got ready to head out to a fish fry down at the Woodie's river house on the Little River. What a beautiful setting and the temps were noticeably cooler the nearer we got to the river. Larry has a gorgeous place with a super place for get togethers. I would estimate 75 or more folks with tons of food as well as tremedeous catfish fillets prepared in fish cookers. There were lots of kids as well and many folks from years past we had met before. Our only regret is we forgot to bring the camera. Many folks were from Cornerstone Church and one especially was from Winchester(my hometown) who is a teaching physican at Duke University. Her dad was our team doctor at James Wood High and just recently passed away at the age of 94. Martha(daughter) graduated 2 years behind me from Handley High and use to accompany her dad to the games at JWHS, its a small world.

We left around 8:30 then stopped off at neighbor's Gerald and Jodi's house to meet his son's family as well as his daughter and her significant other. We stayed around and played a couple games of Sequence and let the gals be victorious again. Carter, Gerald's 2 year old grandson is a towhead cutie.

Well today is probably our last Sunday at Cornerstone for awhile and it will be sad too leave so many fine folks. Better go will keep all informed on our decisions for this week. LATER
