Well the morning started around 2:30 AM when I decided to roll out of the sack to start the day. I never slept at all on Monday night despite being busy all day that started with a good workout on the pickle ball court and continued all day with getting the house and garden ready for our being away for the next 4 or 5 months. We attended Ava's kindergarten graduation ceremony in the evening at Keswick Christian School. I loaded the truck when we got back to the house around 8:30 so all we really had to do Tuesday morning was fill the coolers with the food stuff in the freezer and fridge. We got off around 3:45 AM for the 700 mile drive.
The trip was uneventful and we made several stops about every 1 1/2 hours so I could walk for about 10 minutes since I had that blood clot a couple years back in my left leg. Really it's so much better of a drive than when I use to stop just a couple times for gas and the potty. We even stopped and had breakfast at McDonalds and then later so Nancy could have Chick fillet. I passed on lunch as I get the big breakfast of pancakes, sausage, potato cake, scrambled eggs and a biscuit, yeow I really like their breakfast and all that for less than 5 bucks. We made a Sam's club stop in Savannah for gas and some goodies we would need later at the cabin and then another grocery stop in Elkin at Wal-Mart. We pulled into the cabin right at 4 PM. We made good time and the traffic was rather lite all the way except through Charlotte.
Well neighbor Gerald had mowed us a path in the front and back yards around the many fallen tree limbs that littered the yard. I spent an hour just picking up the tree limbs. The only yikes we had were from Nancy when she spotted a few large blacks ants that were on the porches outside; I had to drop what I was doing to spray and put out poison for the ants. I got both the golf cart and riding mower started and then moved most of the porch furniture out of the shed so I could get to my mower and the rest of my tools. The water came on nicely as well as did the water heater. There were a few dead flys in the house but a good vacuuming took care of that small problem. I have a few hills of potato's up that I planted last Nov. as well as a few sunflowers in the upper garden. The Oregano came back and looked good. Tomorrow will be settings these in the ground.
Most of my seedlings looked good despite the heat when we left Florida this morning. The temp was 81 at 3:45 AM and when we arrived here around 4 PM it was 67, yeow did that ever feel great. Well it's nearly 10:30 and I just had a great shower and can barely keep my eyes open to finish this post. LATER

Monday Morning
Well Sunday turned out to be a dry day despite rain clouds all around the area and even some fog and haze on the way to Element. The morning was much the usual for Sunday as we tried to sleep in while roosters next door serenaded us at 5'ish. That will be the last Sunday morning we will hear them as we are leaving and so are they. Their owners are leaving the house to foreclosure and moving 2 doors down to where the mother once lived and hopefully they are taking the chickens and all of their junk with them. Sam will be sad to see them go but it's been to hot outside to play with them anyway.
Bobby had a quest speaker from Siberia, Russia who planted 3 churches there 7 years ago before Putin kicked missionaries out of the country. Those 3 churches have grown to 27 and now they are being let back into the country and they are heading back there this month of June. Our church is helping them with some of their expenses and we will become a sister church to them as well. We said good-bye to all at Element as well and got lots of hugs and while Dan had an elders meeting Nancy, Carol and I went to Ikea which is just down the road from Element. We shopped for a new lamp for Carol that she bought there some time ago but that is now a discontinued item. Nancy picked up a couple lightweight spreads for the upstairs bedroom at the cabin as well as a salad spinner. We ate lunch there as well and that seems to be a big drawing card for them. Wow was that place ever crowded and huge in size, it took us forever to get out of there.
We got back to the house a little after 1 and I vegetated in front of the tube with what will be my last game for the Ray's for some time. They beat the Indians big time 11-2 and gained a little ground on the Yankee's. I will only be able to watch the Ray's on the Internet unless ESPN carries a game. Well we were invited to Dan and Carol's for a farewell supper of pot roast, smashed taters, squash and carrots and it was delicious. After the cleanup we played a game of Phase 10 and Nancy smoked us and I was the big time loser after once being ahead. I never could get off Phase 7, oh well we had a fun time and we will surely miss our great meals and game playing time. Hopefully they will get to come to the cabin in the Fall.
They have lots of new things happening at their house as they are having an addition to the house for Carol's mom to move in with them due to her advanced age and added extra care. The plans of the construction which should be completed by the time we get back next fall look exciting. Just as we got ready to leave the house for Dan and Carols we got a depressing call from a friend in the mountains. Seems a couple we see regularly through the summer and even eat with and play games with have decided to end their relationship. Yikes is that ever a devastating bit of news.
Well tomorrow is the big day for us as we head out for our cabin in the woods. We are so looking forward seeing old friends, entertaining and working the place into shape and especially some cooler temps. Even with the rain breaking the drought in the area, the heat and humidity have taken over and unless its the early morning or late evening hours it's not pleasant outside at all. This will be my last post for a day or so on these rambling of my daily occurrences. I want to leave who we were for our grand kids for them to see the pictures and read about our lives. I remember finding a few old black and white photos of my grand parents and often wondered what their life was like on the farm. Why so many were buried in different cemeteries in small community churches in the mountains of northern Virginia. Hopefully by leaving this blog for them they will understand who we were, what we stood for and how did they become such an important part of our lives, LATER
Just a note on the business aspect of our existence that I do for fun. This month of June our team leaders who by the way are a generous young couple with 2 small girls have made being an independent business operator with Amway a success as well has helped our daughter in law Jill to become a success in the business as well have another promo. All Legacy of Clean products are buy one get one free. Our team leaders actually purchase the free ones you receive and ship it to you free as well. We use all of the laundry detergents and dish washing soap as well as many of the cleaning products. They are great for the environment as well especially since we are on a septic at the cabin. They have done a great marketing job and in addition to the bogo's you can get free shipping on your original order if you purchase at least 30 PV(product values) of products and you make your order by the 10th of the month. You will receive a reimbursement check from them for the shipping costs. 30 PV's is about a hundred dollars worth of items but you can check items on the website by clicking on any product and it will tell you the PV amount. Now none of these promo's comes from Amway per say just the products. I now have several customers who are thoroughly satisfied as we are with the products, check us out at www.amway.com/JNTriplett

Sunday Morning
Well Saturday turned out to be a wet one starting in the late evening and it poured late into the night. That was a much needed rainfall and looks as if it will continue into today(Sunday) as well. The morning was much the usual with the roosters crowing around 5'ish. We managed to roll over and stay in the sack until nearly 7 AM before starting the day. We had planned on another beach day but since it was cloudy and breezy we decided to catch up on some house cleaning chores as we make the place ready for leaving on Tuesday.
I headed out to mow one more time and do some garden work after my usual cup of tea, a few quiet moments then a lite breakfast. The shower the night before helped in keeping the dust down as I mowed as well as did the clouds make it bearable outside. I still worked up a good sweat before heading in to start with the house cleaning. I did all the fans, lamp shades and then vacuumed while Nancy cleaned out the fridge and the food pantry. We are getting a good start on making the house ready to leave.
We had a lite lunch then I headed to the rec for an hour or so workout on the treadmill with the incline as well as the heavy weights. I stopped off and returned my last book for the season at the library then headed home to watch the Ray's lose big time after winning Friday night big time to the Indians. We got ready after the game and headed to GG's for supper. Amy and the family along with Betsy and Braden came for meat loaf, baked taters', home canned green beans we had brought back from the mountains, salad and Nancy made cinnamon rolls and GG had a pie that resembled a pecan pie and a brownie for dessert. After the cleanup we played about 5 rounds of phase 10 and GG won on the last hand.
Well GG fly's out to Pa. for a 2 week visit with her sister, Daryl and her niece Chris's family, we leave on Tuesday and Amy and family leave on Wednesday for Kansas so we said our good-byes before heading home in a rain storm. Wow did that liquid ever look good falling from the sky as its been unbelievably dry here in what is usually lush and green Florida. It's time to get ready for our last visit to Element Church with son Bobby and his family for awhile. We will say our good-bye's to all of those we have grown to know and love there as well. We have been blessed to have 2 church families and while its sad to leave one we are excited about seeing the other one next week after such a long hiatus, LATER

Saturday Morning
Well here it is the first day of June and we are certainly in the doldrums of summer in Florida with high heat, humidity and finally a thunder shower last evening that brought some minor relief from the drought. It may have settled the dust some what. Friday started out much the usual with the feathered fowl next door around 5'ish with their crowing. I really am not going to miss them when we get to the mountains but the hens are something else. Sam just loves to aggravate them and they stay by the fence whenever he is around. After the usual cup of green tea with some cinnamon, a few quite moments to reflect and a lite breakfast I got ready to head to the rec for some 3 hour workout. We had 2 courts of players for pickle ball which resulted in some great fast and furious rallies and lots of wet shirts. Afterwards I did another 15 minutes on the treadmill with the incline set at 5% grade. I have got to get ready for the hill country hikes especially the one that goes up through the back of our cabin property, yikes it must be at least 10-15% grade or more. It's nearly straight up near the top.
Well we are getting anxious about being there once again and of course I have the place looking good and we haven't arrived yet. It's unbelievable how much work I get done in my sleep. Anyhow after the rec Nancy took her mom to another appointment and then took her home. We had a lunch of salad with just the 2 of us as Nancy went to Ava's school to see her in a school play and then Amy and Sam stayed home with Tyler. After lunch we did some more packing and getting ready for the trip north. I picked up a book I had on order and spent a couple hours with it before we got ready to head over and pick up GG to take with us to Amy's for supper. She had a beautiful Caesar salad and stuffed peppers, wow were they ever delicious. After the clean up we watched some frightening weather that was happening in Oklahoma and Missouri. It's terrible for those folks who are in harms way from those destructive tornadoes.
We got back to the house after dropping GG off and then headed for the showers. I managed to watch a little baseball that eventually got rained out and by 10:30 the sandman had arrived, LATER.... Here are a few photos of the kids at Ava's school play.

Friday Morning
Well Thursday turned out to be another hot, humid and breezy day which is typical for Florida this time of the year. The morning started much the usual with roosters crowing around 5'ish. I managed to roll over until 6 when I finally decided to start the day with a cup of tea, my quiet moments after posting this babble and a lite breakfast before riding out to the rec for some 3 hours of workout. We had a small group of pickle ball players so that left very little down time in the 2 plus hours of play. The wet shirts were evident on all of us and afterwards I headed into the weight room for another 30 minutes of treadmill with an incline and some heavy weights. Nancy was also doing her regiment on the treadmill and bicycle.
I headed home after by-passing the library which is one of my favorite places. I do have a book that's waiting for me and it should in my down time keep me busy until Monday. I had to cancel several books I had on order but I have access to the library in Sparta so I will use that some this summer. I read some great books this past 7 months and along with pickle ball reading is one of my favorite pastimes activities.
The garden is so dry despite the daily watering's and the grass is starting to crinkle under your feet when you walk on it. We are in a watering ban to just once a week for the yards but no limit on the gardens but still it's drying up as well. I pulled a mess of collards and gave them to the gals next door then took the plants out as they are getting huge. I'm still getting some peppers but they have been attacked by nematodes so they are about gone as well. The tomatoes are really producing and I picked about 50 or so today; of course these aren't the large variety but they are great for salads. I'm hoping they will make it to the N.C. garden as several of my seedlings are bearing fruit. We will see if they make it as I still have them in pots.
It was just Nancy and I for lunch for a change and it really was quiet around here without Amy, Sam and GG. We had a huge salad topped with some leftover chicken and ham which made for a great chef's salad. Afterwards Nancy ran errands with her mom and I read and caught up on some little things. The days are busy and we are excited about making the trip back to the cabin after 7 months of being away. It's hard to believe it's been that long since we were last there. It was cold and freezing when we left last November for warm sunny Florida and that helped with being away from our place and our friends who we know and love and now we are leaving this hot place and heading for some cool mornings with lush vegetation everywhere. It will be good to renew old friendships, to walk in the woods and share stories and food together.
Nancy made a pasta dish of sautéed garlic and butter with shrimp and mushrooms and spinach over a bed of Penna for supper, yeow was that ever delicious. I settled into the Fox News, O'Reilley and then the Ray's game of which they beat the Marlins for the 4th straight game. What's going on as they are starting to play well and I'm leaving the area. I will have to watch the games on the Internet but that's not quite the same, LATER

Thursday Morning
Well Wednesday was another hot one with the early morning temp's in the 70's. I spoke with out "mountain mom" and she said it got up into the 70's for a high on such a beautiful day in the mountains. I reached the middle 90's by the afternoon with a stiff breeze which made it to hot to do much of anything outside until after supper when if finally cooled down a little. I did manage to pull some weeds and spread some of the bagged leaves I had collected and stored for ground cover on my Florida garden; plus the leaves give food for my earth worms and help keep some moisture in the ground for them as well.
After an early start with a wake up around 5'ish by the feathered fowl I did my usual routine with a cup of green tea, a few quiet moments after making this post and then a lite breakfast of a smoothie with fresh fruit and almond milk before riding out to the rec on my bike. I got in nearly 3 good hours of workout on the pickle ball court and then in the weight room. Despite all of the family dinners and Nancy's good cooking I haven't added to the spare tire and I'm feeling much stronger especially in the arms and shoulder areas. The tendinitis in the elbows have really gotten a lot better but I still feel twitches of it from time to time.
I headed home after the workout to hand water what's left of the garden. I picked about 40-50 small tomatoes as they range in size from golf ball to a egg shape in size and quite tasty. The seedlings are getting so large I may have to top them again just to get them in the truck. The Zinnias now have 4-5 leaves and looks like they will survive to make it for the transplant at the cabin. The beets have gotten so big I'm wondering if they will make the transplant; if not I will eat them. Most of the seedlings have become root bound in the pots and need to be set out soon.
Amy and Sam came for lunch and we watched him while Amy ran some errands. The Ross family is leaving the day after we leave for the mountains for Kansas. They will be gone for a couple weeks as Tyler's younger sister, Kelsey is getting married. Tyler will drive straight through leaving in the early evening which lets the kids sleep through the night. That makes it easier on the little ones when asking "when will we be there". I remember those days and I did the same thing except most of our trips were around 18 hours straight whereas his trip is 25 plus hours, yikes. They have to be careful as well with the severe weather that is in that part of Kansas and the mid-west.
We cleaned up the last of the ribs and Nancy sautéed the last of the yellow squash with some onion for supper. Seems we have been invited out for supper 3 nights this coming week end. We are slowly but surely getting the Florida house ready to leave for an extended period. I've pretty much got the outside yard and gardens ready to leave and our once neighbor Jim who has a lawn service on the side from his firefighter job will mow ours when he comes to mow his house that he rents out. Nancy is packing up her necessities which I think we don't need so much of but it's like her security blankets, oh well. The truck will be loaded down once again as we head to higher ground. I've called all of our utilities to put them vacation here in Florida and reinstalled the ones at the cabin as well as a change of address, yikes so much to do.
I watched the last few innings of the Ray's vs marlins in Miami and we won again for the third straight game, LATER

Wednesday Morning
Well Tuesday was a pretty much usual day for a change. It was wild having 4 grand kids running around and all of them under the age of 6 except for Ava who just turned 6. It was great bonding them and them with each other but they can wear you out or maybe it's just because we are growing older and our stamina isn't quite what it use to be. It sure was quiet around here most of the day except for lunch time when GG, Amy and Sam arrived; but they left in the early afternoon so we got in a little reading time as well as a power nap before heading over to GG's for supper.
The morning was back to the usual routine with a 5'ish crow off, then a few quiet moments before a lite breakfast then a ride out to the rec on my bike for some 2 plus hours of workout on the pickle ball court. We had a small crowd today but with a new player from Missouri who was visiting and he was good player as well. We had some great matches and lots of wet shirts. Afterwards I headed home as the weight room was being cleaned and the machines oiled. Nancy and I came back after lunch for a good hour plus workout on the elliptical, treadmill, bike and I did some heavy weights plus we walked in the 90 degree heat back and forth to the gym, so we had another good workout as well.
That was about it for the day as we continue to do little things to get ready for the trip to the cabin. After a delicious supper of chicken casserole and salad at GG's we came home to watch Fox news and then the Ray's game and finally they won a game in the bottom of the 9th after being behind most of the game, LATER

Nancy and I came back after lunch for a good hour plus workout on the elliptical, treadmill, bike and I did some heavy weights plus we walked in the 90 degree heat back and forth to the gym, so we had another good workout as well.
That was about it for the day as we continue to do little things to get ready for the trip to the cabin. After a delicious supper of chicken casserole and salad at GG's we came home to watch Fox news and then the Ray's game and finally they won a game in the bottom of the 9th after being behind most of the game, LATER
