Friday

Well we awakened around 6 AM expecting a call from son Bobby as he drove all night to Florida after leaving the cabin around 7 PM on Thursday night. We had a great time with him and the family for the past week as we roomed next door last week end in Woodstock, Va and then again at the cabin Sunday through Thursday. We did all kinds of things and many were firsts for the grand babies. He got back to Florida around 5:30 AM and decided to call us after a couple hours of sleep and we are thrilled to know he had an uneventful trip and of course the babies slept all night. I remember doing the same thing when he and Amy were little as I drove all night from Florida to northern Virginia which at that time was about 15 hours non stop, yikes those were the days!!!

After our quiet time we decided to clean the house. We still didn't have any Internet connection as it had been down since Thursday afternoon. I vacuumed the whole house then use a cleaner and conditioner from Amway on the hardwood floors and wow did they ever turn out nice. After doing the floors I worked outside in the garden until the rain chased me inside and we had a bite of leftover pulled pork for lunch. I did a few other non major jobs that I had been putting off until after company left then we got ready to head over to help our "mountain mom" get her tractor back in working order. Seems the battery cable shorted out the positive terminal burning the terminal in half so I had her pick up a new one and I redid the terminals and finally got the diesel mower running. Wow was she ever happy as she just replaced the battery a couple days ago.

We headed home after that chore and then got ready for supper which turned out to be left over chicken on a bed of salad, yikes was that good and just what we needed after 5 days of full rich meals. Bobby is quite the cook and he made some awesome meals but very rich and dewisheous. I headed outside after the clean up to pull a few weeds in the gardens as the evening turned out just right with temps in the low 70's after a strong afternoon rain which dropped about a 1/2 inch.

Tomorrow I will head up to the corn patch on top of the mountain to hoe a little and pull a few weeds and possibly edge and mow the yards before we head out with Joe and Helen for supper, LATER
