Sunday

Well the morning started with temp's down into the low 50's but with bright sunshine and blue skies. We rolled out around 7:30 to start the day. After our quiet times and a lite breakfast we got ready to head out to Cornerstone for worship. The praise music was awesome and we had a young man give his testimony about how he had gone about as far as you can go down with drug addition. He has been in Teen Challenge for nearly a year in the state of Pennsylvania. This program is gospel based and deals with all kinds of addictions and this son of one of our members seems to be straightened out and is now leading a productive drug free lifestyle. This talk was very sobering and straight forward with what teens are faced with while choosing this course which severely limits them and their friendships and ability to live  normally while being addicted. He gives all the credit to beating this addiction to his relationship with Jesus Christ.

After the service we headed home to have a quiet lunch of leftovers from Friday nights Mexican supper, yikes was that ever good. After the clean-up we watched a little of the Olympics before we headed out for our daily hike to the top of the mountain. We saw a few folks at Roddy's place where it looked as if they were packing up to travel back home. We stopped and saw Jetta and she gave a couple pastries Joe brought back from Charleston he wanted us to try, yeow where they ever good. Joe is under the weather with a high fever he contracted while visiting a sick relative there in the hospital. We sure hope he is feeling better, soon.

After our hike we took the golf cart over to visit Helen and brought her some homemade cookies Nancy made yesterday for the picnic. We had a nice ride with temps in the high 60's and very dry conditions. It was going on 5 PM when we headed out for the return trip back to the cabin. I picked a few beet greens, kale, lettuce and Nasturtium  leaves for the salad we were planning on for supper. We have been missing out on this stable for our diet. We also added some of the pasta salad leftover from the picnic as well on our garden salad and did that ever ignite the taste buds.

After the cleanup Nancy was on the phone for over an hour with our friend and neighbor Carol from Florida. They are planning on a visit with us the second week in October. Little sister Dee from Virgina called and we are planning on their visit over Labor Day with maybe a side trip to Claytor Lake for some kayaking. Just an update, daughter Amy and family made it safely home a little after midnight from Kansas. Thanks for all who kept them in your thoughts and prayers for a safe non-eventful trip, LATER
