Sunday

The morning started out much the usual with a few quiet moments then a bowl of cereal with lots of fruit. The rain from Saturday evening had really cooled things off and made for good sleeping and we felt well rested especially after the hot day at the horse show in Sparta. Wow was that ever a fun time especially seeing all the youngsters and their families participating in this family event. Hopefully some day I can see my grand children doing something like this, anyhow we got ready for worship at Cornerstone.

We headed out around 9:30 and saw neighbor Gerald on the way down the drive as they were heading back to the Raleigh area. We probably won't see much of Jodi and Gabe for awhile as they head back to school around the middle of the month and Gerald heads to the Dakotas for a bike rally. We had a fun time with them for a couple nights while they were here.

Worship was mainly musical as it was the 5th Sunday and there was a baptizing at the end of the service at a local creek, we skipped out on the baptizing as we were having company for supper so we made a Lowes run then headed home. There were some dark clouds around and eventually we got a couple small showers which cooled it off plus the gardens and grass were loving this wetness. I did dishes and vacuumed while Nancy made her signature potato salad and got the 1/2 runners cooking. Afterwards I watched a little baseball then we watched the Breeders Cup and saw a super horse named Coil come from dead last to win this race going away. He looks like a possible triple crown winner next year.

The Dalton's and Huffman's came around 6 and I had the pork chops grilled and ready to eat. Kallie made a super Ramen noodle salad to go with the rest of the supper and Kay made a superb fresh black berry cobbler, YUMM! I even had to try this breaking my "no dessert" fast. We ate then the boys headed out to play a few games of corn hole while the gals cleared the table. Andy was near perfection along with Gerald as they whupped Caleb and I but we made it close and had a good time. Afterwards we showed them a new game as the old game of Sequence was getting old with us boys losing all the time. We taught this game to our neighbors the night before and the gang for supper seemed to really enjoyed it also, as we played 2 games before calling it a night around 9:45. The game is a card game called 5 Crowns, we've had it for years but somehow it got placed in the back of the game closet. Its individual play and Gerald won the first game and Nancy won the second game so its a wash with the gals and guys; of course they had 4 gals vs us 3 guys but it was a fun time and the game goes fast except for a couple snores for some gal we won't embarrass!

Well it was another busy day and the temps finally cooled back to the normal mountain temps but its supposed to get back in the high 80 again this week, LATER
