Hey Gina and everyone,

Thank you all for your words of encouragement. I was busy at work today and didn’t take time to post anything. Now that I’m home I can relax. I still feel a little dazed by what happened yesterday but since I was busy, the day went by quickly. When I got home from work today I had a message from my friend Susanna on my answering machine. Her pastor just died from lymphoma this week. He was in his early 70’s but it’s hard to lose a loved one at any age. Susanna lives relatively near my parents and on occasion I would go to church with them on Sundays. He was a great preacher and he wasn’t afraid to tell it like it is. He also had a great sense of humor. Now I’ll have to tell Susanna about my friend. This has been a really depressing week but I just keep in mind that God is in control and He knows exactly what He’s doing.

On the weather front–it’s hot!! Thankfully, not as hot as Texas and other areas but hot enough for me. Thank God for air conditioners! I had to water my rose bush last night since we haven’t had rain like we did after I planted the other one last month. I can’t believe how much that one has grown in a month. I will take pictures to share with everyone.

Now I need to get something to eat because I’m hungry. Have a great evening everyone.

Margie

Hiya Gina! Yes, I don’t know how you Texans do it every year. It was one of the things I just did not enjoy living in Houston…the heat and humidity…altho no snow in winter was kind of nice…;)

Hope you have a great Thursday too Deb! Glad humidity is down today for you…that’s what really makes it feel awful! (not to mention ruining the hairdo!)

Good morning, Janice.
Good morning, All!!
“Dangerous Heat” is certainly an appropriate title for what’s going on here in San Antonio – I just took a look at the 7 day forecast and the highs are above 100 through Sunday, then we get a break with highs at 98 or 99!! :[ Right now it’s 10:30 am and 89 degrees, yikes.
Margie, I read on the other thread about your friend with cancer. So sorry to hear about that. You and I are at “that age” when we start dealing with more loss and sadness than we typically had to deal with in our younger, carefree days! My prayers are with you and with her and her family & other friends – she’s lucky to have you as a friend.

Good Morning,

Our heat situation has improved…the humidity is down, so it doesn’t feel as hot. So that’s a good thing. But over toward Nashville and the west of me, it’s still torrid.

That’s an amazing picture. Wow!

I hope lil’ Matt’s teething issues aren’t too uncomfortable for him…but there’s always that brandy Don suggested. (for you, of course) ha

Have a great Thursday,
Deb
