Janet, I put your address in Google Earth.  It didn't come close to a house.  But north of it showed what maybe is a two story with two huge outbuildings to the west and southwest of the two story.  And to the north maybe a mobile home with a gabled roof on it.  Could that be your place?  Remember everything is from the sky!

Well, my trip to Nashville is getting closer and closer.  Today I want to pack some.  Then be at the Women's Center by 3:30pm for my mammogram.  I have a Chemo Wrap for the hospital so I want to take it since the entrance to the hospital is just around the corner.  Then the rehab pool is next to the hospital so I want to spend an hour in the water.

After that, I will be starved so will find something to eat.

Then to Lapel to the bank for some $$ and to the gas station to fill up Hawaii.  Then maybe to Dollar General for a few items.

That should make it real easy to get to Judy's by 1pm Wednesday and head to Nashville, IN.

Then Friday morning I want to leave Nashville fairly early, take Judy home, come home and feed the girls and load Ivalou's things in Hawaii.  I will take her to Kettering, Ohio...a suburb of Dayton.  Friday night is a Dance Recital that Lydia is in.

Saturday morning I am coming back home but Ivalou is staying until June 10th!  She has two grandchildren graduating from Cincinnati University June 8 or 9th.  I need to mow the grass if it isn't raining.

Sunday, June 10th I am manning the projector system at church and it is Parker's Open House in the afternoon.  He graduates from high school the 8th.  I think Ivalou's two daughter's are coming from Ohio for the Open House also! 

Busy week.  So if for some reason, I don't get to post on CP, you all know why!

Etta Sue, I can't be sure without seeing the pictures, but it probably is our place.  Remember, we live in a farm shed!  So it would look like an outbuilding.  The big house is ours, and is rented out.  Did you see a geodesic dome building--that would be to the south of the big house and to the east of the building we actually are occupying.  Your week sounds busy, but also fun!  Stay safe!

I need to do some things relative to my book, so will get busy on that.  I have had a pretty leisurely morning for a change--feels good, too! 

This is for Janet!

I, too, have studied the 23rd Psalm. When I think of David being pursued relentlessly by Saul and his men, with many near misses, I can only think that when David was looking down from a desolate cave formed into one of the mountains in that very dry land, he surely was thankful to see that stream flowing far below in the valley where he and his men could drink and be refreshed. What a time of refreshing and rest it must have been!

Today has been devoted with working on my iPhone and brand new iPad that daughter and son in law gave me Sunday. What a long process, but in the end, very successful.

Now, to enjoy getting accustomed to my new "toy."

And, explain why, when I thought I could go to the devotions downstairs this morning, that I was missing. I never dreamed there would be SO many steps and such long waits...Ahhh, I guess hope springs eternal, doesn't it!

Now, to rest a bit, work on loving my apartment (the kitchen is in good shape, now to give the living room some loving care.

May y'all have a wonderful day with our Lord.

Hi Folks

I think I have driven Pat and Paul crazy with wanting news about Cayla.  Paul made a call and I got the news just a little bit ago.

The nurse went into Cayla this morning and immediately got a vein to start an IV to rehydrate her.  Her extremities are now warm.  The cast is off, and the difficult job of preforming a spinal tap was going on as Paul was talking to them.  The antibiotics seem to be doing their job, but till they know what the infection is.....they can't be sure they have her on the correct antibiotic.  The heart Doctor was in and all the trauma has not dome any damage to her heart.  Praise God today no news is indeed good news.

I think I have that all correct.  Pat will add more as she is able.  They have left to go to VA, they have company coming, then back home early next week.

Thanks for the song, Judy, although I can't play the music.  Not computer savvy enough to know what to change so I can listen again.  So, the ones I know, I 'play' in my head!

I have mostly rested today, felt good, too!    Maybe tomorrow I will get some things accomplished.

Listening to the nightly news these days is eerily similar to reading Ezekiel and Revelation!

You are right about that Janet.  I keep thinking "as in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah".  It is more and more like that.  There was a second earthquake in Northern Italy.  I am wondering how many prophecies are left to be fulfilled?

I have one of my spaniels shaved down and I have shaved Cimi's head.  Cim hates the sheers, yet her daughter loves it.  Tomorrow our young lad, and the rest of Cim.  I think though for the rest of tonight I will throw the Frisbee around for Rambo.  He enjoys that.  Just wish i could video him!

The Lord brought me safely and comfortably through some horrendous weather today.  Thunderstorms with hail the size of golf balls - but not here.  Trees down and power outages - but not here.  Tornado watches - but they didn't develop here.  We had lightning and thunder and wind for hours, but there was a wonderful protecting hedge around me.  Praise His Holy Name!

Hallelujah Jeanne

I truly believe that we who are His children will see and experience this more and more as the final day approaches, Jeanne.  There will be want, but we will have plenty; there will be all kinds of storms and shakings, but we will be protected; there will be pestilences, but they will not come nigh our dwellings.  PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!!

Yes, hallelujahl!  I hear that word often when at church, etc., but so seldom is it understood.  Most Christians think that wlhen you say it you're actually praising - but you're not.  The Hebrew word is really three words.  "Halle" = praise, "u" = us, and "jah" = Jehovah (the Lord God).  So the word isn't praising, but instead is an exhortation to praise - literally "Let us praise Jehovah!"  I'm glad to see that it was used correctly in here today.
(Don't mind me - it's just one of my pet peeves!

Al, thank you for that explanation/translation.  Now that I know, I'll try to always remember just how to use it.   

Janet, I sent you an email with a .jpg of where I think you live.  Let me know if that is right.  I don't see a geodome roof though.

Well....I got my mammogram, took a Chemo Wrap to the hospital, exercised in the pool, had supper at La Casada and went to Lapel to fill my car up with gas since GasBuddy said it was 9 cents a gallon cheaper there than Noblesville! 

I just got the nozzle in the car and decided to put my credit card in my purse.  I stepped over the hose and caught my right toe and down I went.  THUD!  All the way down.  I first noticed my left thumb was bleeding, (I think I cut it with a key from my keys) my left little finger and middle finger were bleeding.  My right arm and right knee were stinging!  A gentleman came and helped me up.  He got me a Kleenex for the bleeding.  My arm and knee are skinned but okay since the goose egg has gone down.  My two fingers are fine.  It's my thumb that is still very ouchy.  I have a cut the length of my nail right beside my nail.  I can bend it so it isn't broken but swollen a little bit.  I just don't want to use it to grab anything.  Ouch!  But I am so glad that I didn't hurt myself worse.  I did know when I turned over in the bed and used my right arm, though.  I will be fine!! 

I am all packed except for the laptop and ready to do.  Ivalou is going to feed the girls and get my mail.  I will get her mail next week while she is gone! 

I told Judy I would leave around 1pm.  I will be ready to head out the door then! 

God is good!

Praying for little Cayla...

Yikes Etta Sue. we just have to learn how to be more careful. I am included in the "WE"

Hi everyone. I  read all but the last three postings while resting and working from the iPad so will be relatively brief.  We had a good trip to Atlanta yesterday. Pat will have knee replacement on either July 16th or 25th. We visited with Stacey a little while and she is looking better.  I went to Bible study this morning but didn't stay for coffee as Pat did not go.  Nothing else to do today other than computer work and have the annual Termite inspection later this afternoon.

Etta Sue, hope you are feeling OK today after your fall and are able to enjoy your conference.

Pat and Paul, glad to see the good news regarding your grandchild.

Did anybody see the awful mistake our president made in a speech?  He referred to the "Polish death camps."  Many Poles were outraged, since they were most assuredly NOT "Polish death camps."  They were Nazzi death camps in Poland.  May our God help him to speak less confusingly!

Al, it would help if the "O" weren't so ignorant of OUR country's history, and the history of the rest of the world.  All he knows how to do is read from a teleprompter, and his staff really dropped the ball as far as fact-checking, this time.

Hi, friends, I've been resting (ummm, translate that as "sleeping") this afternoon. So feel a bit groggy now.

Am headed off to church, so y'all have a good rest of the day.

Love to y'all, and MORE love to our Lord!

Hi everyone.  The sun is about to rise and so far it looks like it will be clear for awhile.  We do have the good potential for some rain later today and warmer temperatures.  Nothing on the schedule for today other than coffee at McDonald's in a little bit and then a quick trip to the grocery store for some items.  Then I expect to be at home the rest of the day.

Good morning, friends!  I have been up since 6, listened to Joseph Prince, Kerry Shook and Joyce Meyer, prayed, walked three miles, did the dishes, and now I'm headed to the shower.  Later I will go put color on Pat's hair, go pay the dentist for filling Beth's latest cavity, and see what else I might do to promote the book.  I will go to Hugoton to Diane's store (Yardmaster Lawn and Landscape) for a book signing, after I go to the chiropractor and then attend the Chamber Coffee, to which I have been invited by Ulysses Rotary Club.

I am praying about ways to simplify my life, yet accomplish more for the Lord.  I know it is possible, and am also being convicted that a big chunk of my time is wasted on the computer every day.  So again, it comes to priorities......

So I'm out of here for a time, see you later!

Good morning from Nashville, Indiana.

This is the first second day we have had in Nashville and the sun is shining in three years.  The guys have already left for their golf outing. 

I am sore.  The thumb is much better but the heavy doors are hard to open.. both my arm muscles are sooo sore.  I didn't sleep well last night, I was coughing and sore.  I think I will ask in the lobby where I can get some cough drops! 

I am taking a breather.  A great breakfast downstairs and great visiting.  Not much planned for the day...just rest and relaxation!

Hi, friends,

What a great day for us to be with our Lord!

I'll be taking the elderly lady back to a doctor she saw last week-and also try to help her understand better what he and the nurse are saying. She is very hard of hearing.

Then, possibly will do some of the vounteer work I do for SHIP this afternoon from my home computer.

Bad storms are predicted, so I thought I should come here early.

How thankful I am that y'all are my online Christian friends.

And, as Etta Sue's graphic said, walk with God today.

Good to see you hear again Marlo.

Thank you Marilyn.  I pray all is well with you. 

Hi Marlo Every time I am on my Laptop I pray for you.  Also try vitamin B12 for memory.
