It's been a while, but we had some trouble getting all the pictures into one place :)
Labor Day was fabulous. . .as always. It is truly Susan Ada's favorite holiday. We have a standing commitment to Evergreen and look forward to escaping some of those last few sultry hot days in the level lands by heading up the mountain for a breath of cool air. This year we were able to go from Thursday night until Tuesday night. . .an unexpected treat!
Friday morning we slept in and then took Ruby on a hike in Cumberland Knob. She enjoyed running all through the woods as there was nary another soul to be seen. And, of course, a wonderful cool creek treat in the middle. That afternoon we headed down the mountain so Curt could help Steve with his walnut logging project and Susan Ada could join her mom in visiting some relatives and getting provisions for the weekend.
Saturday morning the boys headed back down the mountain to continue playing with their trees. Then, Susan Ada picked Curt up and we headed to Lewisville to see Curt's parents. They were ready with a birthday celebration for Curt. . .yes, that made his third party. He received lots of fun presents and we ate yummy brownies! That evening the Cornfields had invited us to the Liberty v. Wake Forest opening football game so we donned our red and headed to the stadium. Tailgating was including in the extravaganza and we enjoyed some yummy bar-b-que. It rained for the first quarter of the game, but we persevered and had a great time. Liberty couldn't quite pull out a victory, but it was a strong start to the season nonetheless.
Liberty had some fancy tailgating tents:

Sunday we cooked stew over the open fire. . .a Labor Day tradition. It was yummy. Always is. It pretty much rained the rest of the weekend so we spent lots of time on the porch shelling beans and canning in the kitchen.
Ruby might have made a new snuggle buddy:
