Friday

Well the morning stated out with our quiet times and a lite breakfast before getting ready to head to the doctor's office in Sparta. My blood viscosity is almost where the doctor wanted but still was good enough to stay off the heparin shots, he did increase my daily cumadin. I was allowed to resume normal physical activity, yeah!!!

After leaving the doctors office we headed over to Galax, Va to pick up a new trailer for our mountain mom, Helen at Tractors Supply, I just love that store. Meanwhile we decided to go and have lunch at Applebee's while we were in Galax and had a rather tasty lunch of chipolte chicken wrap and fries. It was very good and would have that again. We unloaded her trailer and got it ready for her to go to work on Saturday morning, brother Joe headed to town to get her diesel fuel for her tractor as well.

Well after getting back from Helen's I just relaxed as nurse Nancy made me not overdo it the first day back so I watched some really good tennis until it was time to help with supper. We made a huge fresh salad and wow was that ever tasty as well. While she cleaned up I gassed up the riding mower and mowed until it was time to take our first together hike in almost 10 days. I could feel the muscles as we started and stopped several times going up the back trail but it felt so good to be able to exercise. We got back and noticed neighbor Gerald's 4 wheeler in the driveway seeking us out to play cards. We changed clothes and headed down on the golf cart.

Well the guys put it on the gals in the first game of Spades and nearly won the second as well. We had some tense moments as I will nil twice and nearly pulled off a back to back nil bid. We got home just before 11PM and headed for the showers. It was sure breezy and there was a feeling of Fall in the air. Well we are having the old gang over for supper and Sequence this evening; should be a raucous evening with lots of banter, laughs and way too much food. The Ray's beat the Orioles last night to stay in the run with the Yanks for first place. LATER
