Sunday

Well the morning started out with warm temp's into the middle 70's which was actually higher than our Seminole, Fl. We had a restful night despite the high 80's when we decided to call it a night. The attic fan was a real blessing as it sucked out the hot air from the 94 temps and brought in the 80's and for awhile we opened the basement door and brought that cool 60's temps up and into the cabin, ahhh! The kiddos woke up as soon as we shut the attic fan off which was around 7 AM.

After getting them some Cheerios and milk we turn the T.V. to Nick Jr. to entertain them until we finished our quiet times before Amy and Tyler came down stairs. We had oatmeal with fresh peaches, bananas and blueberries for breakfast then got ready to head to Cornerstone for worship. Pastor B had an awesome message on what constitutes a legacy. Ava and Sam did great with the childrens church. We headed out after the service for home and it seems there must have been a storm pass through the area as the temps dropped down into the 60's and we actually had a few rain drops on the way home. It was so cool that Amy wore a sweater for awhile as the skies were cloudy but eventually it warmed back up to the high 80's; but not nearly as hot as yesterday.

After a lite lunch of hot soup(it was that cool) and a ham and cheese sandwich I took the kiddos on a golf cart ride to the top and we met Roddy our neighbor on top who comes up from the Charlotte area along with his friend Donnie who bought the Ray Todd place as well as their kids and grand kids. Sam and Ava played with them for awhile then we decided to head out and saw where our friends Shirley and John were at their place along with his son Bryan and his family and he has a little girl Jacqueline who is 6 years of age, well Ava and she immediately became playmates for about 1/2 an hour. We decided it was time to head out as we were expecting our dear friends the Carlson Family from Clemmons who use to live in our city and he was Amy and Bobby's youth pastor ay S.F.B.C. Their 3 girls have grown up so much and are just beautiful girls both inside and out. They started coming to the cabin when they were very little and we always referred to them as the 3 curley haired little ones.

We had a great visit with them until after 7 PM. We sat on the porch which was very pleasant as a breeze kept it nice. I grilled brats and dogs, Nancy had made potato salad ahead as well as brocolli casserole and Jenny made awesome salsa's as well as a chocolate eclair for dessert, yikes everything was dewisheous(Annsley). After eating we decided to play a game of Sequence of course we were a couple guys short so Emily(middle daughter) played with the guys and she made the right decision as we(guys) won the best 2 out of 3. I know its bragging rights until we play again next year, gals!!! Oh well!! It was a fun time and we reminised about old times in Seminole, looked at photos and just had an excellent time. We have several pictures to share of this beautiful family and good friends, LATER The picture with the finger 1 is of the winning Sequence team.
