Kenny Ray and I went down to the farm Friday night, and my friend Shane and his son's Justin and Matt came down to spend the night with us. Shane help me with some plumbing I had to finish up and helped me cut some firewood for the cabin and for the house. I almost made a mistake by putting my truck over the hill in the woods as everything here his finally starting to thaw out. I thought I got my truck stuck, I did finally get out but I did manage to add some dents to my truck, steel does not hold up well to Chestnut oak trees. For dinner we went over to the Mennonite store and got some sandwich's, as usual the store was packed and it took about 20 minute's to get the sandwich. We outside on the porch it was about 45 degrees but was nice to be outside. When we got back to the cabin everybody helped me give the cabin a good cleaning as I am letting a couple spend next weekend there . They are the daughter and son in law of a man I work with. They went down a day last summer to fish in the pond and liked my place. They are also expecting a baby and kind of thought they would like to have a little vacation before their life change for ever,it is there first child.As me and Kenny Ray started home last night I told Kenny Ray to look up at the sky and all the star's. It was a clear night and they were endless . Even now at my age it amazes me that when you get away from the city and street lights how dark it gets at night when there is no moon and nothing but millions of star's and how small it makes one feel in God's grand world. It was a short trip this weekend has we had to be home for Sunday as it is the first Sunday of the month and we have a family dinner,with my mother and sister's and their families and it is at our house this month. The weekend was short but very fulfilling . With simple pleasure's , of friends , family, a ham sandwich, sunshine and star's. As always I thank God
Silence in the woods is priceless
