Larry I forgot to respond to your comment about the getting used tothe weather up north. It has been in the low 60's for the past month  and around 45-46 at night up there. Here in the desert, I only wear a sweater or jacket when it is  in to 40's or colder, I usually go around with just something with long sleeves or my thermals underneath my clothing. However I imagine it will take some getting used to, especially all the rain and maybe the fog again. We had a lot of fog and rain in Stockton which is in the central part of California, the famous San Joaquin valley.Which covers the whole center of the state. We had the dreaded Tule Fog, betwee stockton, Scaramento and the coast there are  1000 miles of waterways, rivers, sloughs etc.and  many islands but was still HOT in the summer. I don't know what the hottest it get in Mckinleyville is, Al might know. Well Brother Al, whats the deal,?How hot does it get there.?

Janet-anything to brighten your special day!  Glad to hear that Beth and John are friends.  Even if nothing further develops, the Lord can use our friends to encourage and sustain us in Him.  All the best to you.

Etta Sue-thank you for asking about me.  My leg is not nearly as painful anymore, just annoyingly swollen.  It's doing alright.

Pat-how did that class go this morning?

Ms Pat and Mr Iain, the devotionals you share are always so helpful. They seem to see me when I am have troubles, and they help me to be strong at times when I need them most. I hope you all know this even if I do not take time to thank you for them each day.

I am glad you are feeling some better too Ms Mercychild


Oh Ms JUDY how sad you need to have this happen with your food today.

Ms Marilyn , "I" am getting excite for you to move too. You will be SO happy.

Ms Janet, your picture is not to be believed.


I am going to stay busy today. I wish you all well.

Thank you Meika!  .

I wanted to share with everyone a verse that has been heavy on my heart this past week.  I've been so anxious to get started with my schooling, but I neglected to realize that there are duties for me to fulfill while I am yet at home.
 It's Jeremiah 12:5.  "If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses?  And if in the land of peace, in which you trusted, they wearied you, then how will you do in the floodplains of the Jordan?"

I have been so anxious to begin that I've neglected to put lessons into practice in my life at home, and instead viewed the delay as a wearisome annoyance.  I stand chastised.

Hello Everyone...

The class was fine this morning.  I got a card to take for everyone to sign for Les, the real teacher of the class as he's in the cardiac unit here in Guelph.  Then I went to a printers to see about getting copies made of Jack's paintings for the family.

I guess I'm done a little bit too much weeding with my arm that I had surgery on so it took a percocet and lay down for awhile and now realize that I've clean forgotten that my granddaughter is graduating from Grade 8 tonight and it's up in Mildmay so I better start getting cleaned up and getting ready to go.  I have to be there at 7:15 pm and it's about 1 1/2 hours drive north-west of Guelph.

What lovely messages to read in here today.  Iain, you never cease to amaze me with your wonderful devotionals.

If he hasn't written a book, he should have, right folks?

Well, I'm copying them and adding them all to the Devotional area on the main website.  That will be good too.

Jen, you and I were to get together tonight and I had forgotten about Sharon's graduation so we're going to have to make it another day.  Get that leg better.

Let's continue to pray for Cornelia.  This is not an easy time for Papa John to go through at this time.

Larry, it IS a blessing for others to be able to help.  I know that now.  I was always of the same opinion when people offered to help with the driving of Jack to dialysis.  It didn't happen all that often but when it did, I really didn't want to bother them.  Now, I'm in a similar position helping my neighbour and I know that they felt similar to me when they first came and asked if I'd think about doing it but what a wonderful feeling it gives me to know that I can actually do something for these folks.


Well, I better go and get the curling iron working.  Wish I had remembered about this and gone to the beauty parlor!  

Talk to you when I get home.

Judyb, I want to explain why you will see my name as having edited your last message.  When I used the size code this morning I had the same problem of the code showing with the message and so I quickly edited it as I had deleted one of the brackets.  That corrected the problem and it then didn't appear on the screen.  I thought maybe I could do the same thing with your message but when I looked at the code all I saw was an extra space and I removed that but it didn't correct the problem.  I was trying to be "Mr. Fix-It" and it didn't work.  

Pat, I saw the pictures on SeniorNet of your class this morning.  You have a very nice looking computer lab at your Senior Center.  It looks very similar to the one we have as we use the same type layout.  I am sure the students appreciated your help.  Hope you have a nice trip this afternoon and evening and I know your Granddaughter will appreciate you being present.

We are going to meet friends in a few minutes and have dinner at Applebee's.  Looking forward to it.  These are the friends who just had their 50th wedding anniversary.

It's not your name anymore showing in Judy's post, Larry!    It's mine.  I hadn't noticed Judy's problem.  Well, when you use the "Move" feature on the forums, make sure that you do it last.

In other words, you write what you want to move, then if you want it Bold, put the bold coding in, and if you want it larger, put the size coding in and the very last thing you do is highlight the who shebang and click on the MOVE icon and it will be fine.

Now, I'm outta here.

I want to thank you all again for your prayers and concern for Cornelia.  I had thought she might come home today but they want to keep her one more night at the hospital.  I am happy to report that she seems to be much better today.  She did have a little fever.  She is feeling good and ready to come home.

Today I had the second  lumbar epidural steroid injection and my back is a little sore but I am feeling fine.  Maybe I can report tomorrow that she is back home.

McKinleyville is only 6 miles north of me here in Arcata, so the temperatures are basically the same.  It never gets above 70, and it very rarely gets below 40 (F).  Actually, it generally ranges between 46 and 65 during this part of the year and between 40 and 50 during the winter.  It rains a great deal - up to approx. 50 inches in a year (generally closer to 40).  It never snows down here where we live, though it might snow a little bit two or three miles to the east in the foothills.  I suspect, Marilyn, that you will LIKE it!

Larry and Pat:

Thankyou for getting the post the way I wanted it. I was in a hurry and didn't know how to fix it.  It is a blessing having friends that pitch in and help when they see a need.

We are having a cool day up here, the sky is cloudy abd there is a chilly north wind.  This is a welcomed change from the 30degree C temps we were having, but this morning almost felt like I needed my woolies. LOL The biggest advantage is the black flies have left us alone for the day!

Well Melaura haws decided to bake some sugar cookies, so Mom had beter help out.

Have a good evening my friends,
Blessings
Judyb

Thank you Brother Al for the info on the weather, I was wondering about it as you know. I am sure I will like it much better than the desert or the central valley. However i can just see me drying dogs off in the middle of the night after they have gone out to take care of their business in the night. Don't look forward to losing that much sleep. LOL

What a nice afternoon Ivalou and I had visiting with her in-laws, telling stories of days of yore!!!  I just wish that people would visit at other times besides sickness, hospitals and funeral homes!!!

I have learned that when I want to use the above features that I can do it easier than I used to do it.

Say I want to do something with my name.

Etta Sue.  I want it bold...so I type 'Etta Sue'.  The I highlight it.  For those who may not know how to highlight, you put your mouse to the left of the E, left click, hold down and drag to the right until 'Etta Sue' is in a dark rectangle.  Lift up your finger.  Then go above and click on the 'B' for bold.  The brackets are separated around 'Etta Sue'  Etta Sue

Then if I want tochange the color, I highlight the brackets, Etta Sue and the last brackets, and click on the color, I want.  Etta Sue

Then I want to resize it.  I highlight all of it and click on the resize icon.  Change the number by highlighting it and typing the number I want.  There is no need to click 'delete'.  When it is highlighted and you type, it deletes the old and adds the new type.  Let's see, it is Bold, Red and Size 5 now.  Etta Sue

If I want it to glow, I highlight all of it again and click on the 'G'.  Red on red won't work so I highlight 'red' and type in 'yellow'.  Etta Sue

Now I want all of it to move...so highlight all of it again and click on <-M.  
Etta Sue
Then I try my best to click on 'Preview' below so I won't have to 'Edit'....Lesson 101

I hope this isn't too much information but also I hope it makes things easier for you, too.

Etta Sue:  Thanks for the lesson - I have been highlighting from the last part of a word and sweeping to the left with the cursor.  

Pat Scott:  You must be driving for the graduation party and I hope that you are staying overnight!!!  Take care.

Papa John:  You and Cornelia are in our thoughts and prayers.

Al:  How are you two doing?  

JudyB:  Sorry about the loss of all that food and so much work involved plus the expense and I know that you work hard for the food.  <<<HUG>>>>

mercychild:  Best wishes for quick recovery.  

Larry:  I believe that so many of us have a difficult time in accepting any assistance and yet we want to help others - so, I am glad to hear that you will talk with your friends about this particular time in your life.  

Goodnight all - Good Morning almost to Iain!  

Carol

Pat-I hope you'll have a great time at the graduation.  Is it from highschool?  I hope your arm feels better too.  Take care of that!  Looking forward to talking with you.

Papa John-My prayers are still with you and Cornelia.  I hope you both feel better, and I pray you feel the Lord's comfort throughout.  God be with you.  Jen.

Oh... How I've missed you all. , and missed all the "news".  I am SO SORRY Papa John to be reading just now, that your beloved Cornelia has been hospitalized. ....love and prayers to Cornelia, please!

I will hurry right over after posting here, to find out what the trouble is.  I pray that it is nothing serious, and that the physicians are looking after her.

I mostly pray that the Great Physician has her in His loving care, and that He will heal her.  When one of us hurts, we ALL hurt....don't we folks?

I won't attempt to answer each one personally, BUT, I have missed our dear Janet's birthday.  A Happy Belated birthday Janet.  You and I are the same age...well ALMOST. ... I am 4 months older....almost to the day!...LOL

I do appreciate the devotionals here.... its a triple blessing to read Jack Scott's work, Pastor Al's and now our dear brother Iain.  When Papa John returns, we will be complete with 4 excellent teachings!

Tomorrow Norm and I (and of course our little Rags) will leave for Kingston (a 4 hour drive, east of Guelph), to spend the weekend with our daughter and family.

Monday we will attend our second eldest granddaughter's graduation into high school .  I read where Pat has gone to see Sharon graduate.  Both our granddaughters are the same age.

I missed my oldest granddaughter's grad. last year, as I spent that time in hospital recovering from a hip replacement.  This is the 3rd replacement for this particular hip.

All this is far more than you all care to know, I'm sure.  Guess I just feel like "chewing the fat", as the saying goes!...LOL

Love to all. .... Judy

Dear Judy, you didn't miss my birthday!  There are still 2 1/2 hours of it left!  Thanks for the greeting!

Have a good time visiting your daughter and family!

I just had a call from my daughter a while ago, and I am so happy that I will have Curtis, Mark and Abby this weekend while Diane and Jeff go to Amarillo to celebrate their anniversary!!  How I enjoy having those kids around!

See Y'all in the mornin'!

Oh... I'm so glad I didn't miss it entirely, Janet,

Janet - I have searched for the post regarding Cornelia Murphree's medical problem... where shouldd I be looking?''I'm praying for Papa John... he is such a dear man of God... and has sure blessed us tremendously with his sermonettes,(is that a WORD...LOL)

Janet - I mean't to add this... I see you and I are the only ones online here at the moment.

We have 2 guests... Please GUESTS... come on in and join us,  There's always room for one more!

Just home from choir practice. Awesome practice. We just kept singing and singing. But I am here tosay good night.

Isn't it "uplifting" to sing and sing like that Marilyn?

Bet you felt the presence of the Lord tonight, didn't you!

Well, I just got home.  I'm going to make a cup of tea and then I'll open the new thread for tomorrow.  It was nice to see all the girls and fellows in nice long dresses and the fellows in suits.  It was a nice evening but now I'm tired.

Judy, we miss you when you aren't here.

chewing the fat   Ms McKenna it is too funny.

You all say such funny things at times. I will save all of them.

And rapture is a wonderful word Ms McKenna, It is nice to see you here today.


A good night to everyone, and a good night Ms Pat. (((hug))).

You'll find the new thread HERE.

See you there!
