Thoughts for June 2017

Good Saturday to all:

I had cataract surgery years ago and it has been just fine. I don't need reader glasses unless the ink isn't dark enough or sometimes there isn't enough light for hand-sewing. All lens are better now than before.

Weather: it is warming up almost suddenly here but expected. Thankful for A/C - cannot believe that I had two children born here in a hot little house in months of July and August. It was quite difficult to cook in the kitchen and so forth so I used to cook early in the morning and warm up meals for supper. We turned on the sprinkler in the afternoon for cooling time and then put the children in the cool shower before bedtime. They slept very well.

Fireworks are illegal here yet they have tents all over selling everything. We are in a red zone alert for fire danger - and, there are families nearby who always shoot fireworks. Not very responsible - all the dogs are traumatized so it just isn't a nice day in the end.

The Liberty! program last night was really wonderful! So glad for the opportunity of going.

Marilyn, I'm happy to read the new eye doctor agreed with mine! This doctor at Garden City was something of a pioneer in cataract removal, and has done well over 50,000 cataract surgeries. Now his son, Eric Fry, is working with him, and has taken over most of the surgeries, but Dr. Luther Fry still does many other things in the practice. People come there from about four states, as their reputation is impeccable!

Carol, the amount of money people charge for things is just unbelievable, isn't it? I am very often shocked by it.

Jim, our renter was so pleased with the pan of pecan rolls I gave him this morning! He deserved it!

Jackie, the Resume of Jesus is really neat! I posted it to Facebook.

Larry, that is a strange experienced with your PT Cruiser! Glad they were willing to drive you to meet Pat. Bet they will check those cables next time they have that type of repair!

I'm feeling sore today from the shoveling, but I had expected it. If I jerked my neck out, I will go see my chiropractor after the 4th.

Carol, I pray no one sets any fires near you (or elsewhere!) with fireworks. That is really dangerous and scary. I don't know if I will even drive the three miles to town to watch the fireworks. Maybe I will watch some on TV instead.

There is a church dinner tomorrow, so I need to think of something to make for that. I have a really hard time deciding what to take for those dinners!

My brother's wife has been in bad health for several years, and she had a stroke recently. The doctor told her daughter that Lola would live only 2 to 5 days, but yesterday she woke up, started talking, was hungry, and fed herself. And she ate the entire meal! My eldest sister lives in Nebraska, and is on her way to Texas to see Lola, as she isn't sure if Lola has ever accepted Jesus, and she wants to be sure. My sister Shirley told me she prayed about it and felt that God told her, no, Lola isn't saved, but he is giving her this one last chance. So all of us are praying for Doris as she goes to talk to her, and for Lola's heart to be prepared to receive! Agreement appreciated!

Eye dr called me last evening to tell me the scan showed a problem with my left eye and I am to see a Retina Specialist. The virteous that breaks up with age is breaking up and there is a piece that is hanging on to the retina like gum. He said it may continue to break up or stick and will break up whenever I eventually have cataract surgery. For now we are just going to wait and watch it to see if it breaks loose if and when it does the vision in that eiy will improve. So I will go get my readers and hope for the best. He gave me a chart with a grid for me to look at every day to see if the lines get more wavy if they do that is a sign that the MD is increasing.

We are having a potluck after church tomorrow it will be like a 4th of July picnic, so I am taking marinated cucumbers. Everyone seems to really like those and I always bring home an empty bowl

Hi everyone. We had a hot, humid and dry day yesterday. Today may be the same although showers are possible this afternoon and evening. We expect this to be our normal Sunday with attendance at Sunday School and Church and then getting something to eat before coming home for a restful afternoon.

About 2 pm yesterday the garage called saying my car was ready. They offered to send someone out with it that I could then return to the shop. That way Pat didn't have to get out again as we had been out yesterday morning. That worked out well and all seems to be well with the car. It now shifts well.

Carol, I have only known a couple of people who had problems after their cataract surgery. I remember living in Oklahoma when Pat was expecting and we had no A/C. I think we had over 100 days of over 100 degree temperatures. I remember one weekend it was so hot we closed the drapes to keep the heat out and laid in front of a fan to try to stay cool.

Janet, it is nice your area has so many fine community events and that you and Darrel can participate in them and enjoy them. Pecan rolls sound so good. When my sister and I were young my grandfather always bought us a small box of fireworks for the fourth. It was safe for us as we had a lot of open space. I remember the box of sparklers and a couple of bottle rockets as well as some small firecrackers and these carbon snakes, the little tablet type things that after set on fire made carbon strings that were really messy. Glad the doctor was wrong about Lola and hope Shirley's trip is successful.

Marilyn, that eye problem is certainly something to attend to. Glad the doctor found the problem so you can have it further evaluated.
