It's almost 7 AM.  I am setting here watching the night fade and morning come.  It is humid with a tiny bit of fog hanging here and there.  So still that not a leaf is moving.  I keep thinking that the net will crash at any time.  My Internet doesn't like fog.   So far it hasn't.   I am waiting on everyone to wake up.  My SIL and nephew are sleeping in the camper.  I hope the rest well. 

We had a great evening yesterday.  Kids and I had fun cooking before they got here.  We made an apple cobbler, fresh green beans, mash potatoes, rolls and then grilled steaks.  It was yummy!   In fact almost everyone was way to full to eat cobbler.  Guess that will be breakfast. 

The kids got treated to a late swim after supper.  They loved that!  Swimming in the dark!   It made them late to bed.  Wonder if they will be late to rise this morning?   I kind of hope they are. That would mean they might not be crabby.   I got to bed late last night but at about 5:45 I was ready to get up.  This means my body is feeling better!  I am soooooo glad.  I can't believe how well that stuff I took worked on the yeast.  I won't even fuss about the taste. 

With all the early morning noises around here I am surprised they are sleeping in.  The geese and guinnies are talking.  The peafowl are YELLING.  The really are LOUD.  I can hear them walking around on the tin roof.  Sounds like a herd of elephants up there.  

Today my plan is to visit, and visit some more!  We are havening BBQ ribs for supper and salad.  That is simple enough!  I will stir up the BBQ sauce in a little while.  I am guessing we will snack for lunch.  I am hoping for an early supper.  OK I admit once the ribs start coming off people around here start eating.   We have about 8 packages of ribs to cook, plus about 4 from our beef.  Those I will boil first to make them more tender.  They have the "plate" on which means a lot more meat, but it is usually tough.  I have learned you can boil them a few minutes and they will be much easier to eat. 

Since I have an over abundance of milk I should make cheese... you see the SHOULD in there.  I really don't want to.  I really just want to pretend I don't have milk.  I am feeling frustrated with milk.  It seems with summer people aren't wanting near as much milk.  That means I have WAY more than I can use.   I may stop milking all but when I need it or when someone ask for some.   It would make my life easier.  

I do think I will do a banana pudding.  I have lots of bananas that are loosing the yellow color.  Way to ripe for some of us to eat.  I admit I like them with a little bit of green striping in them.  

I see I am out of humming bird feed.  I will get that done to start the day.  That and make pancake/waffle batter.   Then I will let others cook while I go do chores :)   Can't beat a deal like that.  That is IF anyone ever gets up around here.

I do have a prayer request.  The young lady I am "mentoring" /praying to adopt is really struggling with mixed loyalty.  She wants to be adopted, but is worried about her bio mom.  I totally understand, but it is such a hard place for a 16 yo to be in.  I ask that everyone pray  with me a hedge of protection around her bio mom, and peace for J in worrying about her bio mom.  She is also starting to worry about "what if..." with her adoptive family.   Do you know how hard it is to talk to her and not spill the beans that her adoptive mom already LIKES her!   I assured her all her fears are very normal and just to trust God.  That God is bringing about this adoption and He doesn't make mistakes.   I just ask that we all lift her up and give her peace of mind and create a heavenly shield around her that the enemy's darts won't find their mark and bring her all the doubts and fears that aren't of God.  Also continue to pray that we get the fingerprints back quickly!  

Hope everyone has a blessed weekend!

LOL when I went to spell check this I discovered the net was down!  Surprise Surprise!  NOT!
