Saturday

Well it started out a little on the chilly side but by noon it had warmed up enough to wear shorts as we headed out to do some Christmas shopping after our quiet times and a hearty mountain breakfast of buckwheat cakes, bacon and eggs. WOW was that ever good and it lasted me until late Saturday afternoon. I finished off the 2 left over deer burgers around 5 o'clock while Nancy got ready to head out with sister Betsy to a concert GG was singing in at 6:30. I had settled down to watch some good college football the rest of the evening. It seems from these last games it was decided who would be playing who for the bragging rights in all the bowl games coming up New Years Day.

After our clean up from breakfast I hand watered until time to head out to the Christian Book Store for a book to be placed in a gift box for a soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan. I found Bobby Bowden's new book and it looks like it will be a good read. I read his autobiography a few years ago and he is truly a great christian man whether you like who he coached for or not. By the way he is retired now after 40 years of coaching and FSU had it handed to them last night in Charlotte by Va. Tech. Boy was it ever cold there but I didn't see any snow on the side lines, unlike the 4-5 inches that fell at the cabin yesterday. The web cam at Roaring Gap showed lots of the white stuff with temps down into the 20's, Brrrr, nothing like 70 in the afternoon and wearing shorts. We are in for some cold nights next week with temp's down into the 30's.

Well not much else is going on except today Sunday is the gathering(corporate worship) at Element and also our blood drive. We are hoping for at least 30 donors and Nancy and I will be 2 to give. Well better get ready to head out as Nancy has to work the check-in desk for the kids. LATER
