Thanks for the news of Ruth Ann, still praying for her.

Poor Judy Mc., she has endured so much.  I'm praying for her, and for Norm as well.

I helped with the scuba class today.  It felt wonderful to be underwater again, but gets rather boring cruising around and seeing only the bottom of the pool!    Next weekend we are going to Nebraska for the class's open water certification.

Carol, I'm sure this new house cost several times what that first one did, right?  It is astounding what things cost today.  I love the prayer you put in!

I have to work tomorrow afternoon.

Pat, wishing you journey mercies as you do deeds of kindness taking Norm to visit Judy.  God bless you.

Edit:  I see you are back home now, and certainly am praying for relief, peace, and sleep for poor Judy.  And restful sleep for you as well.

Hi, all.  We are very busy here in my corner.  I've had my daughter here all week (such a joy) and, of course, still babysitting for little, almost 6 months, Maycie.  Now I have two days off.  Love her!!  Love when she goes home! lol

Now, I'm ready to find some dinner and get my robe on and just rest.  My daughter is out with a friend, so I'll have the evening to myself.

I wanted to come see what is happening.  Poor Judy.  I pray her healing come quickly.  So glad Ruth Ann is recovering nicely.    Nita

    Good morning to all. As you can see it is late or early for many.  We have had a very busy two weeks  having the family from Scotland.  They went back on Friday the 1st.  It is hard to believe that they have come and gone but we had a wonderful time and we went and did a lot of things.

The young ones were a lot of fun to have and it sure makes you feel tired very quickly, on the 27th. we had a family B.B.Q. and that went well we had 21 people here but it was very hard on my wife as it gets her tired very quickly.  We would like to thank you all for your prayers for us during these past two weeks.

I have looked at all the post's and will remember you all in prayer and Pat will pray for Judy Mc. and Husband.

Colin:  How is your health?  Enjoyed your video as always.

Larry:  Don't overdue things and enjoy those afternoon naps.

Well to all must go to sleep   have a awesome day in the Lord's house.  Gord.

I am ready to go out the door for church.  I am driving today and Ivalou is at the front door today greeting the people as they come in.  I am sure that afterwards some ladies will be going out to eat.

Then this evening Kitty and I are going to the State Fair to see how our photos have done.  Just praying that we got all of them hung. 

And I am sure that we will find something to eat before or after...we always do.   

Good Morning, Thank you  Pat for updating us on Judy Mc. I have John Hagee on my TV and I remember Judy telling me how much she likes John Hagee.

I didn't sleep all that well last night, I was too warm   when I went to bed and got cold later.

Etta Sue I hope you got ribbons on you photos this year. I like taking landscape shots, I made a video out of some from my vacation but I have not resized them yet to post here on in the CP gallery. I think I might do that this afternoon.

Hi Nita, Liz, Jane, Larry, Gord, Ruth, Ruthie, Melody Judyb, Kathleen, Colin, Jeannine, Scotty, Gabe, Michael, Carol and all those that I can't remember the names. I pray that everyone has a very blessed Sunday.

I "found" this post at SeniorNet from a good friend (and DL) who had talked with Ruth Ann on Friday... She says Ruth Ann is okay with passing the message along to all the places she usually posts ... that means CP doesn't it?

I'm posting tonight with some really good news!  I just talked with RUTH ANN  for a few minutes and she sounded great.  She has been managing a short walk from bed to doorway in the hospital, undergone some tests in the past couple of days which indicated she needed a bit more intensive time to heal BEFORE returning home.  Thus, she has been approved to spend some time in a follow-up care facility once she is released from the hospital.  Ruth Ann described the follow-up care facility as "like a palace with marble floors" and she expects to be extremely well cared for as she undertakes the next level of recuperation.

As we talked, Ruth Ann's voice was clear and vibrant.  She and I exchanged a few comments about how her surgery compared with my son's same procedure in June and how they both will progress "with solid determination and God's blessings" on the pathway to recovery.  We even engaged in some light-hearted humor and it was absolutely GREAT to hear her laugh!

Ruth Ann had been on my mind all day and she laughingly told me that she also thought about me when she was presented with a "small cup of sugar-free ice cream."  It was a BIG relief to hear her clear voice and share some positive thoughts with her. I assured her AGAIN that she is absolutely surrounded by good wishes, but she already knew that.  She agreed that it was OK to post this update about her progress in this discussion as well as others in which she participates.   Please join me in a big HURRAH! for Ruth Ann.

Thank you so much for the news of Ruth Ann, Jane.  Continuing to pray here in Guelph for her.

   Good afternoon to everyone.  Not many posting today so far. I guess that we are all trying to enjoy the summer.  We had a wonderful service this morning our pastor spoke on Ephesians 4  and also some of chapter 5 it was a very poerful sermon and I think it was hard for him to do this one.

Pat.  Glad to see you got home safely and hope that all is well.

Judy B.:  How are you all doing and hope that you are keeping o.k.

I hope that  everyone is well and for those of you who are not so good we are praying for you.  God bless.  Gord.

Church was good this morning. I went to church in the Rec room at an RV park. Some people who used to be at ALC that left over a year ago. There were 25 people thereand I knew all but 4, The Pastor was the Mens Minister at ALC before he left. I will be going back there again and again.

I think we'd all agree, Father, in giving You thanks for the news about Ruth Ann!  You are merciful and gracious, and Your love is wonderful indeed!

Hello just dropping by to say Hi and to say that this was a great day in the house of the Lord.
Our Pastor spoke on Faith to trust God to answer our prayers. It was really an encouragement that God is the same yesterday today and forever.
I am remembering in prayer  those with various needs.

Now I am going to have a chocolate bar

Hi everyone.  I posted yesterday morning and now it is Sunday evening and I see a lot of postings.  Not much to report from here.  We did attend church today with the choir back in the choir loft and singing a communion anthem.  Then we went out to lunch with a group of 11.  This afternoon a couple of friends stopped by and we had a nice visit.  I am watching the first pro football game of the season at the Hall of Fame game.

So sorry to learn of the additional surgery for Judy McK.  Seeing how fragile she is (and it has been quite awhile since I saw her in a photo) she must be a trooper to undergo yet another surgery. 

I was really glad to read the encouraging news concerning Ruth Ann.  I had seen a posting on SeniorNet indicating she had come through the surgery well.  I know she is glad that she is in the recovery stage and it sounds like she is getting good care.

Carol, now all the worries about acquiring a new home can be put aside as you concentrate on getting the house ready to move into and then make the move.  That is an awesome prayer and thanks for sharing it with us. 

Pat, you are always doing kind things to help other people.  I know Norm and Judy really appreciate you.

Gord, hope you and your wife can have a few days to recoup.  It sounds like you all had a very nice visit with your relatives.

Ruth, the Weight Watcher's calculator is a tool on the website which becomes available after you pay for the website access.  It has thousands of food classified as to points, including many brand items.  For example, if I have a sandwich with one slice of bread the calculator tells me that is 2 points.  It also keeps track of your points as you enter them and you can review your progress over a period of time.  There is also a recipe tool where you can type in your own recipes and it will calculate a point value per serving.  I have typed in several recipes that Pat makes occasionally and determine how many points I get in a serving.  Yesterday was the first day that I have used all of my daily allowance and had to use two of my weekly points that are available if you exceed a daily allowance.  Tomorrow is going to be a challenge as am going out for lunch and then we are going out again for dinner for the ribs.  Hope this information is helpful. 

Larry:   Thanks for the WW info, I have a free trial card and this makes me want to check it out, a short while ago I was not well and I have that very strong feeling that it was food poisoning chicken being cause which has made me indifferent to following any kind of diet program.  Wrong I know.

This afternoon Mel & I went to a steam show in Cookstown our first visit although it is a yearly show, seeing the machines of old use steam to cut wood, pump water, thrash, etc, we are made to appreciate the modern times. 

This evening I tied some of my tomatoes plants back and tomorrow I will be out there picking my green beans.

Pat:  Good to see you home in Guelph.  The adjustment to life in two countries must be trying.   

Janet:    I am not able to swim let alone scuba,   I had an unpleasant experience many years ago along with a weak back  I never did learn to swim.  It is not to late to learn but the trust is gone.     

Ruth, I have heard of a few people who were scared so badly, especially when young, that their fear of the water stayed with them throughout life.  I think that is sad, because I get so much enjoyment from being in the water.  Lots to see topside, too, though!   Mmmm!  Fresh green beans sound so good!

I have read all the posts, so good to hear the good report about Ruth Ann.  Praise the Lord!

I worked this afternoon..........going to bed to read for a while now.
