It is unusual that I am first here to say Good Morning!  I pray your day is blessed. 

It is cold here and we are expecting more snow this weekend, yuck, I really wish summer would come.

I have a lot to get done today so I am off.  Have a trip planned to North Bay today but have to get "stuff" done first.

HAve a great day

Thanks, Judy!  That's another of my favorite old songs!

I'm here, just haven't posted until now.

The Lord has been convicting me about my attitude toward the music.  I'm not sure what He wants me to do, but for now, I guess He means to 'zip it!'  So I will.  One thing I  do know--our church has exploded with new people since Phil came, and the young people in particular, are coming.  Does that mean they enjoy the music?  Could be.

I finished two more painting projects yesterday!  Two more to go and I will be caught up in that area..yippee!!  

We have a lovely day today, the sun is shining, God's in His heaven, and all's  right with the world!  (Judy, don't send us any of that snow!)

I didn't realize you could click on the music and actually hear it--- duh!

Probably because I wasn't allowed to listen to it - Rock & Roll is kinda fun for me, can you imagine?  I love music and I know Don does because he had his own band that earned him a college scholarship.  We do go to grandson's Jazz Band and Symphony concerts but that is about all  except what we listen to in church. 

Janet:  So interesting on your church membership exploding and I do feel that more modern music brings in the younger crowd.  It has to be the pastor too.  I have read that Evangelical churches are the fastest growing everywhere. 

Our good friends are going to stop by for a visit as they make their way to Minnesota - he will have a newer kind of chemo so they are coming here at the end of this month.  Bringing their new doggie who is well behaved.   

Janet you are really going fast on getting caught up.  When you retire, you will have (hopefully) more time to do more,

Carol good to have your opinion, there are many different idea and opinions on the subject of music.  I don't think anyone is wrong, as the consensus is that we are to praise and glorify God.

Be back later.

Hi, friends, I'll gather my thoughts and share about yesterday morning.

First, the lady who was to lead the singing called the night before with a bad sore throat. No song leader... 

When I asked that she check with the man who was scheduled to play piano, she said he had a doctor's appointment.  No pianist... 

Wow! I was so very thankful to get back to my apartment parking lot at 9:20 am, when usually I'm unable to return home until about noon following each 8 am appointment. Great! A pianist had shown up...

Thankfully, I can sing a capella, so planned to have a song for a solo "just in case" ...

At 9:55, our speaker had not come, so I called him quickly from the piano bench where I had been playing the prelude. "Oooops!!! Ruth Ann, I forgot I was to be there!! So, I suggested we begin without him, and he could get there to speak. That we did.

Before the service, a sweet old saint of God said that he had been asked to lead the singing. Now, this wonderful, godly man is almost 95 and his hearing isn't the best. Well, we sang along, and if he wandered from the tune, most folks remained singing the true melody.

He wanted me to accompany him as he sang an old song from literally back before I was born. So, I sight read it quickly, decided I could follow him, got him started on the correct note, then simply played runs and chords as he sang his heart out for our Lord. Oh, what a BLESSING!!

God impressed me to sing an old song I learned as a 10 year old when asked to play for a white haired song evangelist who was singing in a revival at our church:


By Oswald J. Smith and B. D. Ackley
_{Copyright, 1937, by the Rodeheaver Co.}

God understands your sorrow,
He sees the falling tear,
And whispers, "I am with thee,"
Then falter not, nor fear.

God understands your heartache,
He knows the bitter pain;
O, trust Him in the darkness,
You cannot trust in vain.

God understands your weakness,
He knows the tempter's pow'r;
And He will walk beside you
However dark the hour.

Refrain:
He understands your longing,
Your deepest grief He shares,
Then let Him bear your burden,
He understands, and cares.


I sensed the minister would be later than we thought, and no one was willing to "moderate" our discussion, so I asked if some of those in attendance (we usually have between 10 and 25 per service) would like to share with us.

A dear sweet lady who is much younger than most of us, stood and recounted how her faith has stayed rock-solid, firmly on the solid ground of her faith in God and her salvation as she is being pre-treated for a very aggressive type of breast cancer before her mastectomy. Please remember Debbie in your prayers, for she faces a long road ahead. This, while she is her father's caretaker - he suffers from Parkinson's disease, and her mother is now in the last stages of Alzheimer's disease.

Then the sweet elderly song leader gave a ringing testimony as to how his family were sustained as, in only one week, two of his brothers died (ages 17 and 12) and were buried in a joint funeral, and their father died the next day. What GRIEF! Yet, they were upheld by His strong right hand.

Next, a tiny little lady stood and told how she had taught her children in the faith and read the Bible to them every day. One day she learned her daughter and boyfriend (long away from family and faith) had purchased a Bible and were studying it, the next day, this daughter died, a newborn Christian!

Well, by then everyone was beaming and heads were nodding in agreement - one couple are retired missionaries, etc.

As the minister arrived,  he finished with a wonderful reading of the passages dealing with "I am the vine and ye are the branches."

What a grateful heart went with us as we left, shaking hands and sharing hugs all around!

God is GOOD --- ALL THE TIME!
Ruth NN

I'm late!  First, I slept in way too long.  The phone woke me and it was a person asking me to vote for Susan Brooks!  I don't know Susan Brooks so probably wont.  I ate my breakfast, read my devotions and checked my email. 

I had asked Kitty if she would like to go to the movie theater and see 'Mirror, Mirror!'.  She said she could this afternoon.  So I checked the time for the movie and what time it was then and emailed her back, asking if she could be here by 1:30pm.  She wrote back and said, Yes! 

So then I put on warmer clothes, mowed the yard, showered and washed my hair and had a quick lunch of leftovers from Ivalou's Euchre.  I don't know how I missed Kitty driving in but suddenly the doorbell was ringing. 

Off we went to the movie!  The previews were atrocious!!  And they were meant for kids!!  One was 'Paranormal'....message was, you can't succeed being normal!  What!!   Another was so violent, I would never let a little kid watch!  Mirror, Mirror was good, I thought.  More about the Wicked Queen than Snow White.  I kept looking at the costumes and the graphics!  Great movie.

Then we came back here and chatted for awhile.  Kitty is gone now, I have gotten the mail and now catching up online!! 

Another beautiful day in Indiana.  Hardly any wind and not a cloud in the sky!  High 60's.  Great day!

Ruth Ann That was marvelous!  What a day!

This is a favourite Contemporary Christian Music song...

God's Not Dead

Let love explode
And bring the dead to life
A love so bold
To see a revolution somehow

Let love explode
And bring the dead to life
A love so bold
To bring a revolution somehow

Now I'm lost in your freedom
And this world I'll overcome

My God's not dead
He's surely alive
He's living on the inside
Roaring like a lion

My God's not dead
He's surely alive
He's living on the inside
Roaring like a lion

He's roaring
He's roaring
He's roaring like a lion

Let hope arise
And make the darkness hide
My faith is dead
I need a resurrection somehow

Now..
Now I'm lost in your freedom
Now..
And this world I'll overcome

My God's not dead
He's surely alive
He's living on the inside
Roaring like a lion

My God's not dead
He's surely alive
He's living on the inside
Roaring like a lion

He's roaring
He's roaring
He's roaring like a lion

He's roaring
He's roaring

Let Heaven roar
And fire fall
Come shake the ground
With the sound of revival

Let Heaven roar
And fire fall
Come shake the ground
With the sound of revival¦

My God's not dead
He's surely alive
He's living on the inside
Roaring like a lion

My God's not dead
He's surely alive
He's living on the inside
Roaring like a lion...

He's roaring
He's roaring
He's roaring like a lion¦

Roaring like a lion

Yes there is a lot of repetition, but the words really speak to me,  Our God is not dead.

Hi everyone.  I almost always post in the morning but it just didn't work out that way today and I almost forgot I hadn't been here.  Right after coffee we went to Bible study as had missed the last two weeks.  It was good to be with our good friends.  We then went over to Dunkin' Donut and enjoyed another hour of visiting.  On the way home we picked up a couple of grilled childen sandwiches at Wendy's.  I then took a nap and at 3 pm the rehab center called for a care plan conference.  We couldn't really hear the lady very well and we couldn't understand the necessity of us participating anyway as Stacey is not memory impaired and makes her own decision so we thanked the lady for the opportunity but did not go on with the conference.  Stacey got the stitches out of her hip today to her great relief.  She also learned she will be in rehab until a week from tomorrow.  She also told us that there was a water leak three floors above her apartment that had caused water damage down to the 5th floor.  It got her recliner and the special chair that massages her legs wet.  They are suppose to get Stanley Steamer in to dry things out and will clean the carpets, which badly need it since she has to drive her wheelchair on the carpet. 

I think I will pass on individual comments this evening as am working from my iPad (using a blue tooth keyboard) but it is not easy to scroll back.  However, will note these were very good postings today.

Ruth Ann, thank you for taking us to church with you!  What a lovely and inspiring service you had,,,,praise God!

I have stayed busy today.  Darrel made a cherry pie yesterday and before I even saw it, he ate HALF of it!  He said he was hungry for pie, and I told him he should have made it several days ago if he was THAT hungry for it.  I ate some, then this morning took the rest to my friend who is on dialysis as I know they both LOVE cherry pie! 

I got my order of mat boards today, and got a real shock when I looked at the invoice.  It has been quite some time since I had to order, and boy, have the prices increased!    I got two of the pieces started, the mats are all cut for one and the next ready.  No frames yet so I can't finish any of them.  If they wait too long to send me some new corner samples I will have to look elsewhere for frames!  And....I got more painting projects done!!  Now, I think the only thing I lack is to repair the painting of little Lexi that I messed up. 

Went to see Beth but didn't stay long as she was getting ready to go play Bingo.

Now I will make a grilled cheese sandwich and plan to go to bed early tonight!

BEAUTIFUL day here today!!  Thank you, Father!

Oops--hello, Larry!  You hit post as I was proof reading!

I think y'all would love to visit our little get togethers in the multi-purpose room downstairs in the public area. Those who attend are varied - some do not attend worship service at all, others attend their churches faithfully, one walks painfully in with a walker, one elderly man (94) rolls his walker in and sits in it (sometimes dozing), several use canes, and all come in faith expecting a blessing.

And!! Surprise...we don't take an offering - all the time by every person is donated. One lady arranges for the speakers, someone else hooks up the sound system, we sing from donated hymnals, and all really enjoy their time. Usually it only lasts about 50 minutes, so it makes a lovely break from lives sometime without relatives and few friends. I'll see if I can find a photo of that nice room and ask someone to post it for me. Bookshelves line the large room, two rows of mahogany "library" tables give plenty of space for folks to gather, play cards, work puzzles, etc., Then there's the chairs lined up with an aisle beween for those who come to have Bible study or were informative seminars are presented. And, a piano. Finally, several large leather couches and loveseats provide comfortable space for chatting (and there's even a tiny kitchen which allows for little family gatherings, etc.)

Oh, yes, and we have a large flat screen tv for special events and for the Saturday afternoon free movies. As you exit, you can purchase candy/crackers/sodas from 2 machines.

A really nice multi-purpose room.

Y'all have a nice evening.

Ruth Ann, that room does sound lovely.

It's 4:30 AM and I seem to be finished sleeping......been awake for about two hours, so gave it up and got up.

Well, I will get to hear my programs!  If I don't fall asleep in my chair,which would be all right, too.

Have a wonderful, God-blessed day, everyone!

Well, we went yesterday to Winco, the local warehouse-type superstore and did our weekly grocery shopping.  We save about 20 percent on almost every item by going there.  It was my first time since the skilled nursing center.  I used a motorized cart, and Marbeth walked around with me.  We did ok, got everything, and got back out to the car ok.  The only bad thing was, I had to let Marbeth take everything into our place and put it away, as I can't carry things and use the walker at the same time.  If I can once get to the place where I can get along without the walker, that will change.  But she was glad to have me there anyway, so I guess it was worth it.

Praise the Saviour, Ye Who Know Him
(Click to hear music)


We thank Thee,
and praise Thy glorious Name.
1 Chronicles 29:13


Words: Thomas Kelly
Music: Acclaim, traditional German melody



Praise the Savior, ye who know Him!
Who can tell how much we owe Him?
Gladly let us render to Him
All we are and have.


Jesus is the Name that charms us,
He for conflict fits and arms us;
Nothing moves and nothing harms us
While we trust in Him.


Trust in Him, ye saints, forever,
He is faithful, changing never;
Neither force nor guile can sever
Those He loves from Him.


Keep us, Lord, O keep us cleaving
To Thyself, and still believing,
Till the hour of receiving
Promised joys with Thee.


Then we shall be where we would be,
Then we shall be what we should be,
Things that are not now, nor could be,
Soon shall be our own.

Al, it's surely good to see your post this morning!  Sounds as if you are doing just great!  And, maybe you could find one of those walkers that have a basket on them, then you could carry some stuff along.  Sometimes you can find used things like that, but you know better where in your community that might be.  Our Senior Center has them and loans them to whoever is needing them, free of charge.  Nice service, one among many they provide for us.  I'm wondering what your thoughts are on the political scene now.......

I have stripped the bed and remade it, washed the sheets, paid a pile of bills....guess I can go to my studio now!

Darrel is going to town for hamburger, he is making chili for our small group meeting tonight.

What a great multi-purpose room!  I do believe I have been there now thanks to Ruth Ann's description! 

And thank you, Janet.  I now have an Easy Cherry Cobbler in the oven!! 

Talk about the power of suggestion!

Not much news since last night other than sleeping was great,  waking up was better and seeing the great outdoors is best!

Thanks, Janet, for the suggestions.  Your'e absolutely right about the walkers with baskets - that would help a little.  I haven't seen any recently.  We have a senior center here and one in Arcata (the next town over), but neither of them have things like that.  Maybe the one in Eureks would have some things like that - I don't know 'cause we don't get over that way very often.  What I'd like to do is to wean my way off of rhe walker altogether, and I think, in time, I will.

I know what I need right now - a second cup.

Al check the Senior Center in Mcville they have a room with all kinds of stuff you can borrow.

Hi everyone.  It has been a relaxed and enjoyable morning and have had a nice rest after lunch.  After coffee I made a fast stop at the Post Office, Kroger's and the ATM machine at the bank.  Since I got home I have been working on a number of small projects including working up more photos for the Senior Golden Games and putting them on the Games webpages.  Later this afternoon I plan on going with Pat to the grocery where we buy meat.  We will both use the riding carts as it is a big store but I can stand easily and will be her legs and she can make the decisions on what meat to buy, etc.  It is really bothering her to try to shop.  Stacey is now doing twice a day therapy. 

I think I mentioned my good friend who had been told he has the human equivalent of mad cow disease.  He saw his doctor yesterday and got the good news that the second spinal tap came back negative for that disease.  The MRI shows he has suffered a series of mini-strokes that probably are causing the problems he is experiencing.  What a relief as it should mean many more years of life rather than a death sentence that the earlier diagnosis would have met.  A little bit ago I got another short e-mail from him and it is like reading something written by a different person-such a joy.

Janet, I haven't had a piece of cherry pie in a long time.  I don't think there is anything that hasn't gone up in price.  It is a shock each time we go to the grocery or places like Walmart. 

Ruth Ann, I didn't know you could have a worship service and not take an offering.    It sounds like you have a very fine group who get together for worship. The description of the room makes it sounds very warm and friendly and comfortable.

Al, that must have been a wonderful lift to your spirits to be able to go to Winco.  I sure wish we had a place like that around here.  I guess the closest I know is our Aldi's store where we do save a considerable bit but the selections are very limited as it is a relatively small store (about which I am certainly not complaining).  There are just three isles and they are not terribly long.



-

Yes, Larry, our Winco is really great.  But it IS large.  You can easily walk a mile on one shopping trip.  Thankfully, with the motorized cart, it's easy enough.  The only trouble with it is that they absolutley will not let you take the groceries out to your car on one of the motorized carts.  So, after bagging it all up, you have tp put it into one of the regular carrs to take it out to the car.  Thankfully, I have Marbeth wirth me to do that part.

How great to hear from y'all this early morning. I awoke about 3 am (actually from a 2 hour "nap" since someone called at 10 pm and hung up at 1 am), couldn't go back to sleep, so I came to the computer.

Yesterday was one of those busy days. Lots of driving was involved, and a really loud noise in one location set off earaches and a bad headache. So, bed and nightgown were welcome well before dark yesterday! No sleep, but that rest felt so good.

I've decided I want to try to download some of the wonderful hymns to my own computer, so when I want peace and worshipful time while at the computer, I can make up a playlist and use it. Thank you to each of you who has posted the great hymns.

Oh, yes, Al, my sister in law has to use a walker, and she takes two tote bags (very cheap in most stores around here), and then she shops, she puts 1 plastic grocery bag in each tote bag, runs her wrists through the handles, and is able to actually walk more securely with the bit of added weight helping balance her walker and make it feel more secure for her. Another idea would be to take a couple of lengths of string or yarn with you, and loop them through the grocery sack handles, then tie them to each side of the walker. And, she uses a sort-of cloth portfolio on the front of the walker into which she can place her wallet, checkbook, etc. rather than carrying a purse.

Aren't those electric shopping carts WONDERFUL!! Twelve years ago the neurologist found that there's no communication between my muscles and nerves in my legs. Y'all will remember how badly bruised I was when I was at the Bash in Atlanta when I fell flat on my face on the paved road. We laughed at the time and said that the road rose up to greet me. Well, it turns out that all those face forward falls with no warning was the result of this disability. So, I agreed to never shop in a large store where carts are not available to ride. So, no more mall walks for me, but since I've known about this, I've only fallen once, and that was from going down stairs, not falling forward.

Thanks be to God for those who make our lives easier - now we have rolling walkers, electric wheelchairs, shower chairs, implants for our eyes after cataract removal, hearing aids and so many more. These conveniences have caused me to pray constantly for those who are blessed with the vision and ability to develop these new techniques. Imagine - in the old books we can read of the elders who seemed to "get the vapors" or have to literally take to their beds, when now these can be treated for quite a while. What reason for gratitude to our Heavenly Father who made us with ingenuity and skills, each individually tailored to His plan for us and for others.

And, I think of Beth, who, while increasingly handicapped, has chosen to change her attitude, which makes being with her a joy. Thank you, Janet, for sharing with us.

Each person who contributes here with comments, prayer requests, praises, experiences, beautiful photos, managing this website, etc., should know how thankful I am that we "met" and get together at this wonderful site.

I will try to make another contribution to help Pat and Paul as they keep this site running for us. God bless you!

Much love to everyone,
Ruth Ann

p.s. Maybe I can "rest my eyes" since I've been here with my christian friends. May He richly bless each of you today.

Hi everyone.  I have a few minutes before needing to pick up my neighbor so we can go to coffee at the senior center.  My quiet day yesterday turned out not to be so quiet but it was enjoyable.  After working on various projects yesterday morning I went to the grocery store with Pat as planned and then as soon as I got home I went other to a friends house and helped them with some questions on their new computer and using the external hard disk I had been able to put together for them using their old hard disk from the computer that failed.  Today is the ROMEO's men's luncheon but do not plan to attend as Friday's is one of the days that Pat gets priority on the car and probably won't have other transportation available.  I still have several items on my to-do list I will work on today.

Al, Winco must have had bad experiences with folks taking the powered carts out into the parking lot.  Do they have someone who can help you get your purchases to your car?

Ruth Ann, I can't imagine talking to someone on the phone for 3 hours.  I think my ear would fall off in that time.  The riding carts are very helpful.  Both Pat and I used them yesterday and it worked out well as Pat said she wouldn't have been able to make it around the store on foot.  I ended up the shopping not being exhausted.  When needed I could get off the cart to pick up and item for a case or shelf and she could make the decision about it.  I think we will have to do this in the future when we go to Walmart as well and stay away from other stores that are large but don't have the carts.  Sure glad you have cut down the number of falls you are experiencing. 

I was quite surprised when I went to see Beth yesterday, as she was lying on her bed.  It has been years since I saw her lie down during the daytime; not since she recovered from the last near-death trip to Wichita.  She said her shoulder had been hurting really bad and they had given her a Lortab for pain.  But she was still in a good mood, and I read her three stories from the Chicken Soup for the Dog and Cat Lover's Soul book we have been reading.  Today is their monthly barbecue, and combined with that they are honoring their volunteers, so I will be going to eat lunch with her.

I am progressing on that big framing order!     I had to call the gal yesterday with a couple of questions, and she said she has three more pieces she wants me to frame in time for the fair!  Ah...job security!   

Next week there is something on our calendar for every day and most nights as well.  That Saturday is my Alumni Reunion (HS) and I get to speak about my book and have a table set up from which to sell them!  Thank you, Lord!

My cat disappeared for three days, but is back home now!  I'm happy about that!

Larry, Al, Ruth Ann and others---I am so glad those carts are available for you to use in the large stores, what a help!  One of our local grocery stores has them, as well, and Beth used them  and using her walker and later her wheel chair when she was still living at home.  And all those other "aids" are a blessing as well (mentioned by Ruth Ann.)

I thank you, God, that I am not in need of any 'aids' but also thankful that when that time comes, they will be available...that is if I have the $$$ to shop!!

A lazy day today.  Just doing some laundry.  I am either awful clean or awful dirty to have so much laundry for just me! 

Encouraging news last evening from Sheree, Jacob's mother...

QuoteThey have now added recreational physical therapy and they had him riding a bike today which was very exciting. They put electro stimulants on his legs and set the bike at a certain speed and then encourage Jacob to pedal faster. The therapist was very encouraging and did feel Jacob was out peddling the set speed ! We encouraged him by using names of his scout friends and scout leaders. They were calling to him to hurry up Jacob you can do it ! His eye was fully open most of the time during this exercise. It was very encouraging ! Go Jacob! God is most definitely in charge !

I got a phone call this morning from 'Unknown'.  I didn't answer it.  Within a minute, I got another call from 'Unknown'.  I thought...a solicitor would not do that so I answered it.  It was my classmate in Mexico.  It seems he has signed up with Skype online to be able to call anywhere in the U.S. and Canada for 6 hours a month...something was said about 10,000 minutes but don't know how that calculates to 6 hours...for $60 a year or $5 a month.  So he called me to see how the sound was.  I had my home phone forwarded to my cell so I know my sound wasn't as good but he said I sounded clear.  If any of you make a lot of long distance calls, you might look into this since the other end does not have to have a computer or Skype and you don't have to have a webcam...just a mic. 

Cloudy and overcast today but nice and warm.  I asked Kitty to meet me at the Pizza King this evening.  I am getting a yen for pizza that hasn't been in a freezer!

Hello to everyone.
  So far I have had a what is normal  day for me, not normal we had a  fellow come to service  our hot water tank a fee would be charged so we are doing it ourselves connect the hose and let the water out then flush with clean . We pay a monthly fee for the tank and I would like to know what for.  A phone call will be placed on Monday to find out why and for what.  I then placed an order from a catalog which will be delivered in 2 wks not long to wait.

Soon I will need to put dinner in the oven Sweet & Sour ribs yummy, along with potatoes of some style.

I use Windows Media Player and there is a button of the botton that can be clicked if you want the songs repeated.

Hi everyone.  Today is a foggy morning but suppose to get ot 75 degrees by afternoon with only a small chance of rain.  Today is an annual event for an organization I participate in and serve as the treasurer.  We will have fellowship, workshops, a pot luck lunch, raffles and door prizes and then a speaker in the afternoon.  It is a full day but a very enjoyable one.  Stacey has arranged to go to her church tomorrow morning via the para-transit van, which picks up at the door and delivers to the door.  I hope this won't be too painful of an experience for her but it is her decision and know it will be a big lift to her spirits to resume a degree of normalcy to her life after the last couple of months.

Janet, it is nice the home recognizes the volunteers that help out there.  Do hope Beth is feeling better today.  Your HS reunion sounds like a wonderful opportunity for you to sell a few books and enrich lives in the process.

Etta Sue, that is what I think about our laundry and tend to believe we are just awfully clean.  It seems there is a load or two of washing almost everyday.  So glad that Jacob continues to make progress and to hear that his mother is encouraged.  Stacey has used the paid Skype service for several years and has her own telephone number to give to others to call from regular phones as well as being able to call to other non-Skype phones.  It is very inexpensive.

Ruth, that is a new one on me that you rent your hot water heater.  Hope you get a satisfactory answer to your call.

The kitty is us today in Indiana minus the snow.  It's only 42 degrees right now!!!!  Brrrr!

I did find out that the Skype calling is 6 hours per day and 10,000 minutes a month.  Maybe a teenager would go over that but I doubt an adult would!

QuoteFriday 4/20/12 day 44
Fairly quiet day. They did put casts on Jacobs legs for the weekend. This is to help him not to get drop foot by stretching his ankles up. They are of course bright orange ! Stlll trying to get Jacob to wake up more and to start following commands.
The speech therapist was trying to get him to raise his right hand but no luck however he did move his left hand instead so that was encouraging!
Praying and Believing!

Jacob keeps making progress a little at a time.  Since being in Atlanta he hasn't back-stepped any! 

Kitty and I went to Pizza King last evening.  We were talking and talking and she looked at her phone, said "I've got to go!  It's 7 o'clock and I have to fix Bob something to eat!"  So I left there...in the rain, went to Dollar General...in the rain, to the bank...in the rain and carried my purchases to the house...in the rain.  When I got sat down for the evening, the rain stopped!!  And it just kept getting cooler and cooler! 

I don't think I got warm in bed all night.  Too cool to even get up and put more covers on the bed! 

Not much going on today...just what will be, will be!
