Well we had a busy fun day with visits from neighbors and family and such good eatin' went along with each visit. The morning found us once again sleeping in until around 7'ish and an added blanket on the bed made it that much more snugly especially with the windows open in the cabin and the temp down around 6o degrees. After waking and listening to the quietness(I know that sounds weird, no pun intended) I headed out to the gardens after my quiet time and a cup of hot tea.
Nancy stayed under the covers as she has had sweat clothes on most of the time while I ventured out. This is a wonderful change in temperature to me and really great for being outside. My oldest grandson, Sam would love being here as he is the most content when outside. I checked on the gardens and found more lettuce poking through the ground also I planted my red seed potatoes in between the hills of the volunteers from last year. I don't think I will try to bring potato seedlings from Fl. again and transplant here as only 2 made it thus far, oh well nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I headed down to our neighbors around 11 and picked up their son, Gabriel and made sure they were coming for lunch before heading back to their home in the Raleigh area. Gabe and I got in a couple games of corn hole while the burgers cooked on the grill. Nancy had made a dewisheous potato salad from red potatoes and Jodi brought deer burgers for the grill as well a salad of mixed dried beans, olives etc., sounds different but very tasty. We had a sumptuous feed out on the side deck and the ambiance was intoxicating with the clean cool fresh air and Jodi sat in the sun area as she too has thermostat problems. After eating they headed out and hopefully will be back on weekends through out the summer.
We got ready for baby sister Dee and daughter Kelly who motored down from the Radford area where Kelly is about to end her first year of teaching in a Christian School and is about to be married in July. Wow that will be a big celebration and we are so looking forward to this memorable event. They arrived around 3'ish and stayed until nearly 6:30. We never stopped chatting the while except to chase down their 2 pups who explored the yards, porches and whatever they could get into. We had a dewisheous supper of marinated chicken breasts, leftover potato salad, fresh garden salad, steamed yellow squash and leftover coconut cream pie, YIKES was that ever a feed.
After hugs and good bye's we cleaned up the dishes then headed out on the golf cart to the top of the mountain then down the other side to visit with our old friends Audean and Ray Todd. Ray is still suffering from back surgery but at least the pain has subsided in his back and legs for now. Audean lost her 92 year mother a couple months back and she too is recovering from that great loss. It was great to see her and hug her neck and remember old times again. We saw the add for the Hatfield and McCoys special on the History Channel that was to start at 9 so we headed home just before dark to get quick showers before the show aired. It was a very interesting show and Ray mentions he had a distant relative who was associated with that clan from Salisbury, N.C. That show last until 11 and I missed a few moments as I nodded off at the commerical breaks but left you waiting to see what would happened on Monday nights show, LATER
