When I got up at 4:30 this morning, the wind was howling, but, praise the Lord, it's just breezy now, and cool but not cold.  It is October, so we can expect changes in the weather toward colder nights, especially.  Indian Summer is my favorite season! 

So sad about the needed decision to withdraw life support.  That's never an easy one, for sure.

Carol, it seems you and Don are always having home repair problems!  Sorry.  It would be nice if you could just relax instead of fixing stuff.

Larry, hope your strength and energy return by morning!  Blessings to you.  Sad about the couple...and the dog.  I always wonder WHY?  Also, why couldn't he have started with himself, and left the others alive?

I may attempt posting more pictures later, I am feeling sleepy right now.

Hi everyone.  We woke up to a much cooler morning and it was only 51 degrees when I returned from coffee a little while ago.  Tonight it is to get to 38 or 39 degrees.  I am feeling much less exhausted today than I have the last couple of days so looking forward to a nice weekend.  I have nothing on the schedule for today and just church tomorrow.  I will be watching some football today. 

Awoke to the cell phone ringing in the kitchen where it was charging - Lowe's called at 6:37 am to tell me that they will be here this morning - later.  We did have time for a refreshing walk and a bowl of cereal with chocolate bits in it.  That does wonders!

Thank you for devotions with all of the emphasis today on grace given freely to each of us.

Larry:  I don't know the name of Pam Bono but will look it up.  A really faithful friend in bible study lost her daughter and two grandchildren (the entire family) when the son-in-law shot all including himself.  This was in California and apparently over the loss of money.  My friend is such an inspiration - she is now helping another member of our group through the suicide of her very close granddaughter last year.  Peace be with all in the family you mentioned. 

Janet:  This place in AZ is 23 years young - that is young in my opinion but the heat takes a toll - there is no way it would be easy to live here in summertime.  We left when it hit 107 last spring.  We bought this little fixer-upper because Don does like to do some repairs and it was a deal as they say.  As to the sad story from Larry, I too ask why would anyone even think of taking another life just because they are despondent? 


 

We have been without hydro since 9:00 last night  till 1:00 this afternoon.  The house is finally warming up and I have been able to get online for the last updates on Jeff. 

Please check Prayer and Praise.

Hi, friends,

I've been out and about today. Made additional purchases for my sister in law's apartment. A lady is to help me on Monday to get things in "apple-pie-order".  Won't it be nice for her to arrive in her newly set up apartment without the stresses of doing the work! It makes me smile to think of that moment.

I also got a bit of fresh fruit for me, and stopped by McDonalds to get that Premium Chicken McWrap - grilled chicken with a salad rolled in a tortilla. Yummy. Now, I don't need to cook supper.

It's so interesting to hear of each person's activities. We're actually a pretty lively bunch.

Y'all have a good evening with our Lord.

Hi everyone.  For the first time since last spring we had to turn the furnace on this morning as it was down to 67 in the house and 42 degrees outside.  It is only to go to 63 today but will warm up starting tomorrow to more normal temps.  I had a much less tired day yesterday, for which I am grateful.  We will be going to church this World Communion Sunday and it is a joint service.  I hope to listen to most of Don's classical music program this afternoon and then around 4:30 watch the Falcon's play the NY Giants. 

Carol, several years Pat attended a quilting retreat in the North Georgia mountains and Pam Bono was the featured speaker and her husband had designed a number of rulers and products.  Pat has belonged to her on-line club this last year but this was the last month of her subscription.  Pat also watched a lot of her videos that were online.  Pat also likes Bonnie Hunter and had a class with her at the retreat.  Some families have to endure such terrible tragedies and suicide usually leaves few answers. 

Ruth Ann, I hope your SIL will appreciate all the effort you have put into your act of love for her in setting up the apartment and will be able to enjoy it a long, long time.
