Thanks Larry for sharing that Clay Bell story.  Touched my heart.

Ohhh, I've been so busy since getting home to Guelph.  Today, I cut the back lawn, trimmed the front hedge, and trimmed two huge bushes and now I'm ready for my bed!

Good morning everyone. It's a cloudy day here and cooler about 60 degrees I would say. I like it hotter

Good to see you Pat.

But it seems like the rain we had did my strawberries good and I was able to get at about a bowl full this time to eat--Yummy
Going to try to do some shopping later today

Ha...and you did not even share Melody !

Hope you all enjoy this video...

Take good care of yourselves. God bless

Good Morning Everyone...

Melody, those strawberries sound so good.

Colin, do you have another URL for that video?  I get a login page.

Good Morning: I have a few minutes here before I have to leave for work so I am checking in. After work today I am headed in to Eureka, going to the chiropractor, to Petco to take back the steps I bought for the dogs that they have never used and don't like. I also need to do some shopping while I am there.

Hpe everyone has a great day.

Hi everyone.  This being Friday we had men's coffee a the senior center.  Then two of my friend and I tried to walk in the park but I had to stop after one round as the air was so heavy I was having a bit of trouble breathing and I find it has really tired me.  As soon as I got home I went to Aldi's grocery to stock up on some canned goods that we needed and then a quick stop at Walmart to return the Coleman battery powered Lantern that I could not get to work and a couple of other things.  I picked up some fruit their from the produce department. I came home and find I am really exhausted.  I told my wife that I wasn't going out again, other than to the mailbox and look forward to resting this afternoon.  It is to be 93 degrees here today.

I am glad that little clay balls story was helpful.  It causes us to think a bit and that is always good. 

Morning all.

Great weekend coming this weekend.  There is a 60% chance of rain....but that means there is a 40% chance of sun.  I think I will look for the sun instead.  We have had so much rain.  This is a long weekend in Ontario, with Monday off for a lot of people.

I will be selling the last puppy on Saturday.  They have gone quickly, and we will be back down to the just the adults.  Dex is not doing well, he is old and getting nippy.  I have a problem with a dog that starts nipping people....soon will start biting for real.

Pat good to have you back.  When will Paul be home here in Canada?  

Have a great weekend everyone

Yesterday was a fun time.  Ivalou called and asked me to go with them to eat out.  Her husband was from a family of 10 kids (8 left) so there were 12 people for dinner.  I laughed so much I was crying.  Great bunch of people.  One man my age said he can't remember anything.  His brain is like an Etch-A-Sketch.  He shakes his head and all the memory goes away!!  Funny.

I also mowed yesterday and did some laundry.  Today is a day of rest and trying to keep cool.  It is bright and sunny but going to be a scorcher!!

Hmmm.....looks like I didn't post in here yesterday.

Judy, you could sure send some of your rain down our way.  We had a little shower a few days ago, wonderful but not nearly enough to break the drought.  Good you are finding homes for those puppies!  We are thinking of getting another dog.  Darrel has had dogs his entire life and misses having one around. 

Pat, I plan to email you this afternoon.

Time to go, errands to run!

Colin:   Great Video's and I also have enjoyed the WW poem

Larry:   What is the WW calculator - when in there site are you given instructions on its use.

Today Mel has cut the lawn and I did 3 loads of laundry two of which he helped me put on the line normally I do it myself but I wanted a couple of blankets hung open instead of the usual folded in half. 

I have been going to the chiropractor but today I have also started going for physio to help with getting some of the strength back in my lower back.  He has recommended two exercises to be done twice daily and more to be added as I progress.

This is the start of a long weekend and already the traffic is building.   

Larry & Janet I have been remembering your loved ones in prayer as well.   

Ruth

Well folks I am gone and won't be back till next Tuesday.  I am working Tuesday, as the girls have sewing camp at the store.  they will be learning how to use a serger!

Jane I would gladly send the rain your way.  We have had very few days without rain and the weather has been cool to moderate all "summer" if you want to call what we have had summer.

Have a great weekend everyone.  
Judy

Just checking in.  We bought the house today - what a change from our first home that cost $15,000 in a Denver suburb and had a huge yard. 

I have written a special prayer in my profile and hope that it appears below my posts.  I keep a copy in my wallet.  It is so soothing so do hope it appears as I post. 

Hooray - the prayer by John Baillie is there.  Please take time to read it once.  It is better than a yoga class 

Hi Ruth!  Good luck with the chiropractor!  I could use a good drubbing on my bones too.  Take care.

Hi Jane:  I see that you are "on"

Pat:  I just voted!

Hi Carol.     That is a lovely prayer.  I should copy it for my own use.

I am sorry for not posting in here that I received an email from Bobbie Gould Wednesday night (late) that Ruth Ann had come through the surgery "just fine" and would probably be in the hospital for 3 days.  Not too sure how quickly she will be back at the computer. 

I waited to see if anyone else had been notified.  I know she left email addresses and phone numbers with her son and he passed the news along at SN.  I didn't think I was the only one here to be contacted.   

Thanks for voting, Carol! 

Ruth, sounds as if you had a very busy day indeed.  I love hanging out my washing.  Always smells so good when you get it in.


JUDY MCKENNA

I had a telephone call from Judy today from Henderson Hospital in Hamilton.  She went down there yesterday for just a doctor's appointment and the surgeon wouldn't let her come home but admitted her.

Poor Judy has had some terrible times with both her hips and now she has to have surgery tomorrow on the left one.  It became dislocated and she's been in terrible pain.  She's happy with her doctor.  Her doctor she had died suddenly in April and so this has been something too for Judy to have the first appointment with a new specialist who didn't know her but she told me on the telephone that she's quite happy with him.

I'll take Norm down to Hamilton tomorrow to see her after her surgery.

Ruth Ann

Thanks so much for the news of Ruth Ann.  I hadn't heard from anyone else yet so that's good that you posted about our dear friend.

Carol, that's a beautiful prayer, which I am definitely going to copy for my own use.  Thank you!

Judy McKenna
I spoke to Norm McKenna and I'll be picking him up for sure and taking him to Hamilton tomorrow.

Please pray for Judy and her surgery tomorrow.  I think that this is six surgeries on her hips now or it could quite possibly be even more.  And Norm has been undergoing radiation for prostate cancer and he finishes I think Aug. 6 so he's under the weather as well.


Carol, what a lovely prayer.  Thanks for sharing it.

Thank you for the update on Ruth Ann!

Pat:  Sending a prayer for Judy McKenna.  I don't even remember how many surgeries she has endured. 

Thank all of you for reading one of my favorite prayers.  It is great for getting blood pressure down 

I also like your signature prayer by John Baillie, Carol. 

I usually begin my day by asking God to direct and guide my thoughts, words, actions, goals, desires, heart's affections, plans, decisions, etc., so that they will be for His glory and mine and others' blessing, according to His will throughout that day, but Baillie certainly expresses it very beautifully!  Thanks for sharing it.

Good morning.
It's Saturday and I am trying to do a little cleaning and cooking done today. I am having Jiggs dinner!!
I have a lot of pictures on my computer so I will try to take them off and put them on a dvd.
Colin looked at the video and  you always capture the scenery really well. Thanks for sharing.
Under_His_Shadow that is a real good way to start your day and you will walk in the blessings of God when you commit your ways to God.

Praying for Judy McKenna
Blessings to all!

Melody what is Jigg's dinner?

Pat I  bet Geordie was very glad to see you when you picked him up and brought him home. How is Lauren cat? I am praying for Judy Mc here.

I will be busy today doing my usual Saturday chores, I have to take some stuff to the recycler, clean my house, wash my hair, get my clothes ready fo church tonorrow. etc.

Good Morning Everyone...

Judy McKenna

I was just able to speak to her on the telephone and had prayer with her.  Her surgery is at 12 noon Eastern time.  That's 2 1/2 hours from now.  So if you login and see this, please pray for her then.  She's just fed up with all these surgeries.  Poor Judy.

I will leave Guelph around 2:30 to take Norm down to see her.  That should give them time for the surgery and for her to be ready to come out of the recovery room.


Melody, I love your little graphics!   

Marilyn, Lauren won't leave me alone.  If I come to the living room, she follows me and if I go into the bedroom, she's up beside me.  It's so funny.  Right now, she's trying to outstare a fly on the window.  She'll bound at it in a minute and catch it.


Carol, I was able to tell Judy today that you were praying for her and she so appreciated that.


Under_His_Shadow, what a wonderful way to start the day.  I certainly enjoyed reading your post.  I try to do similar.  What a wonderful Saviour we have!


Well, I must get a shower and do a few things before picking Norm up and heading to Hamilton.

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Ah, Judy Mc ~ I remember seeing her and Norm in Calgary....such a delightful couple.  I am so sorry she is having yet another hip surgery.  You can count on me for sending prayers heavenward. 

And it is great to hear that Ruth Ann is on the mend.  Glad that surgery was successful.

And Carol, congratulations on the purchase of your new home.  Now when will you get to move in?

I got some kind of bug last evening.  Felt nauseated.  I went to bed early and slept fitfully all night.  This morning, I am sluggish.  It felt good having my coffee on the deck in the cool breeze.  Maybe have to get my book and sit out there again until the heat runs me back into the A/C. 

I forgot to mention I am not traveling this weekend and not having any company.

Keith had to go to northern Oregon to inspect a project for  some school district, to make sure they have followed the plans he drew and that everything is up to code. Then he has gone on to Portland to visit 2 of his sons. The oldest is an intern at one of the big hospitals there, the other is a Tech Support person for those one hour photo machines, that one is still in school. The youngest will be leaving for Portland later thiis month for school.

I amg oing to try to see Gilbert and the family this afternoon is they are at home, they keep so busy Inever know where to find them.

Judy McKenna's Surgery has been put off until 2 pm

The problems that Judy Mc is having sounds very much like the .......... my mom endured with her hip replacement, so many surgeries plus plus. Mom has passed on - her problems are over.

We went to a garage sale and home we came with a deck box, another place for storage (?).

Judy B:   The farmers in the New Liskeard area have suffered crop loss due to the rain even some farmers did not do any planting as it would have been an even bigger loss.

Good news of Ruth Ann.   

Ruth     

We left Guelph at about 4 pm for Hamilton.  When we got to the Hospital, we were told that Judy's surgery started at 12:45 pm and not 2 pm and that she was still in surgery!!!  Shortly after we were informed that she was now in the Recovery Room and that she'd be quite awhile in there so we went down to get something to eat.  I figure that her surgery was over 5 hours!!!

We stayed only for a short while.  I fed her ice chips and tried to help her push her pain medication pump as she couldn't do this with her poor arthritic hands and I prayed with her before leaving and I'm not long in the house.  I think I've been home now for about 10 minutes so it's been a long day.

Please pray for our Judy.

Hi Ruth!
