Another hot fall day
Hi everyone, It's a beautiful fall day in NC. The sun has been shinning now for the past week and it has been so hot. I know I whinned last winter about it being so long but this has been one hot summer! I am ready for some cooler weather and pulling out my sweaters and such.
I hope this finds you all having a good day. I know I count my blessings that Steve is doing well and while he is off the Sutent for a break we have been having some fun.
Our car club had an old fashioned cookout on Saturday night. We drove up this old dirt path (no show cars) to a cabin that sat on the hill where you could see the mountains in the distance. It was a fairly new cabin with dirt floors with saw dust on it, but it had electricity and we had a fridge. The couple giving the party had rented a port-a john. (Meriel that is a portable toilet) but it was clean and had lights inside and a station to wash you hands. They sure have improved those things!!
Back to my story: Our host and his wife had been cooking pork shoulders and chicken breast halves since morning. Did I say that this guy really knows how to cook this stuff. He has a huge cooker that will hold a huge amount of food. The guest brought the desserts and potato salad. They provide barbecue slaw, by the way our slaw is red in the south. hehe A little later we roasted marshmellows over a huge campfire. And we make smores!
After that wonderful meal we played the corn hole game? Ever heard of that? Meriel they are little square bags filled with corn and you attempt to throw them in the round holes in a board that is made just for this game. If you folks think I am crazy just look in up on AOL, some people call it corn toss. At any rate my Steve is very good at this game and was the winner of the night. LOL It is kinda like pitching horse shoes but with corn filled bags. He had a really good time and with the exception of some bad nausea at meal time he did fine. I cherish these time with Steve. I try not to let myself think about the what ifs. Will all of these folks still be my friends without Steve? I have a friend who was dropped by their circle of friends when her husband died! If my friends do that to me then they were not my friends anyway!!
Today Steve is having a "shut down day". Staying in his PJ's and just messing around. I try to have one of those once in a while. A day with no make up and just piddle around the house. Do any of you do the same? I know all of you girls who still work don't get to do that but that is one advantage of getting older!!
Well I am rambling, I pray for all of you and I pray that each one of you will have a day of peace without pain and worry.
My love, Wanda
