Evening Hello All
I am Praising and Thanking God that today I saw a definite change for the better. The Swelling is down, the upper lip and lower lips have better color and the pain has come down some. The antibiotic is working but most of all I have the Favor and Touch of God's Healing upon my body!
My Pastor encouraged me by reminding me what my Friend’s have said to him. And this is what Pastor has said to me. I have had my life extended to be His Hands Extended to my Specialists, Volunteer Drivers,Friends and Families Saved and Unsaved. He said you shine for Jesus wherever you go not letting setbacks, pain failed treatment plans get you down. He said you keep on going planting Seeds, witnessing and sharing the Love of Jesus wherever you go, and bottom line it’s the Power of God on your life that keeps you going day by day! He believes as I believe, I am still alive 4 years after diagnosis as He has a work for me to do and in the end my Pastor believes I will be healed in Jesus Name and I do too!I will come back and reply to all of your posts! but need to check on my Grandkids first.
I left a message on our prayer thread for you to read and join your prayers with mine.
Thank you my Valued Friends for your Kindness Love and many Prayers! You all are so Appreciated. ♥️🙏✝️

Evening Hello
As you can see I am back and will try and reply to all your posts.
Barb, I saw your picture of your finger; is your finger sore, have you thought about seeing your Doctor? Using a needle sounds painful trying to drain it. I hope you can find out what the issues are and it can be restored and pain removed quickly. I was looking at my calendar and see it’s not long away for Harry3 starting his outpatient therapy. I am excited and trusting he will be greatly helped. Word of encouragement: When I first started my speech language swallowing therapy I could hardly take in liquids without choking, my therapist contacted my Doctors recommending a Feeding Tube. I said no, I persevered with exercises and my swallowing improved. I believe Harry3 will do well once he gets back in rehab. I am praying his rehab will be successful. You asked if I can sleep, I sleep not too badly. I am excited hearing you explaining about the new treatment for Macular Degeneration, that would be wonderful if you were a good candidate to have this treatment. For sure I will keep this in prayer, please keep us posted on this.
Susan, I sure would love to have a coffee with you and the girls, that would make my day to be with you all in person, talking laughing sharing with each other and enjoying our coffee! So glad Colin is going out with his friends today for coffee and can encourage one another. It’s wonderful to have sweet fellowship with God’s People. My prayers continue for Colin for his healing. And of course praying for you as I know you have some health issues.
Linda, so glad you could take your friend to the Doctors to have the Varicose Veins removed. Sounds like a painful procedure especially with her saying it was painful with local anesthetic, some sedation. I sure hope this procedure helps her and reduces the swelling. The book you are reading sounds so good, I agree, and yes Jesus is with us; we minister to one another encouraging and blessing one another just as you gals do here. Sorry about both Bible Studies being cancelled, but thinking about Glenn with abdominal pain and intestinal issues, hope he recovers quickly and feels better soon. Will be praying for him.
It’s late now and this gal is heading to bed! I have posted twice tonight, you can read my first post but like I said I would come back and reply to your posts.
Hope I didn’t miss anything?Love you all! God Bless! 🙏✝️🤗

Hello Everyone. I'm taking things slow this morning. It's still chilly and both Colin and I didn't wake up with much energy 🙃. He had trouble with his blood sugar levels last night which meant a restless night for us both. He's better this morning.
Judith, your Pastor is so encouraging. I am glad he spe t that time with you and of course he is right. You are a blessing online too! One of us would know each other without you. I am very glad to hear there has been some improvement in your lips. Has the bleeding stopped? The Lord sustain you, my friend.
Linda, that's good news about your son being so helpful and practical. I hope the trailer facet is back to being a non leaky one soon! Yes, Christian community is important or Jesus would not have started the Church. I know I gain much strength and understanding because of my church. We all help each other too.
Barb, I can add anything about the lump on your finger. Maybe a Dr visit will solve the mystery. It's great that Harry3's rehab starts very soon. I wish it started today!

Judith glad you are seeing some improvement in your lip. Prayers for pain and for more healing.
Linda. Prayers for yiur friend, I always take a book with me when I go to the drs. Prayers her pain will get better and the procedure helps her. Trust Glenn is feeling better. Sorry he canceled his meeting tonight.
Our temps are going up as is the humidity. Near 100*;in heat index Thursday.Susan Prayers for you and Colin. Wisdom too.
Tomorrow is the day and the evaluation in knowing what 3 needs. He could get 5 days a week too. It’s hard to practice when yiu have no equipment like parallel bars, and standing bike. He is doing some exercises and when he leaves the house it’s steps plus walks with a walker once imthink during the day.
I will be there tomorrow at 8:30 AM, to help HH will take hi and leaves at 9.
I got a new microwave as I had 2 fires in my microwave yesterday total. A craft gal made a pad for plates tom microwave so not to burn one’s hands. Elisabeth, a daughter, gave me a potato bag to, use in microwave & pads to,heat and keep hands warm in the cold well they caught on fire. So with all that over the years I decided anew microwave we needed. No smelling of fire when you open the door. I think we have had 3-4 fires in 3 years. So it smelled plus the right side whatever that is, is black. We use a small microwave so not expensive.
Have a good night all. Morning for Susan. 🙏🏻0 -
Glenn is feeling some better today. Three of our friends have had similar symptoms but they had fevers with theirs. Glenn has not had a fever so that is good. Today he took it easy but still needed to do some things for the school. Registration for the Spring semester is coming soon so there are lots of students asking a lot of questions. With no Bible studies today, I had extra time to do some needed cleaning. I see I still need to clean the ceiling in the hallway where the swamp cooler vent is located. The ceiling and the fan frame is pretty dirty looking since it has been pulling in smoke particles. I will need to get up on a ladder to do it so maybe I will wait until Glenn is feeling better so he can hold the ladder for me. I do not want to loose my balance and fall!
Judith - What great news that your lips are looking better and the pain is less. I am sure the doctor on Thursday will be pleased. Your pastor is correct in that you are here for a reason to reach out to the people you come in contact with on your travels. I have a friend here who also has multiple visits for her health and she also says that she has her own mission field. She has become friends with the staff and has been able to speak truth to them about God.
Susan - I'm sorry that Colin had blood sugar problems and you both are feeling tired today. It is hard to have the energy that we had in our 20's when sleep is lost. I remember staying up all night to study or write a paper for school and it did not bother me at all. I will pray for Colin's blood sugar to stabilize so you can get some good sleep.
Barb - How exciting to know that 3 will be evaluated for therapy needs tomorrow. He has waited for quite a while for this day. I pray that therapies will help him be more independent and that HH will be able to spend more time with the girls. In caring bridge a little while ago she said she felt like she was taking care of three children rather than a husband and 2 children. Getting stronger and having better balance will help him be more supportive of her. It is exciting that you have a new microwave. I don't think I would wait as long as you have to get a new one. One fire and I would insist that I have the old one repaired or a new one. A microwave fire can turn into a house fire very quickly.

Evening Hello Everyone,
This is my 2nd time to be TIMED out tonight from the site. So frustrating. I thought MFP got it all sorted out as it’s been a while since I got timed out. Now after every few paragraphs I am saving my work so I am not tracing my steps and trying to remember what I posted!
Susan, It’s good you are taking it slow today, so sorry to hear that Colin had Blood Sugar issues during the night which gave you both a restless night and not much sleep. Please take it easy tonight and hope you get a good sleep tonight. Thank you for your kindness and for asking after me. Yes lips are showing some improvement but sorry to say the lips are still bleeding but maybe a little less. My prayers are with you Susan and Colin.
Barb, I am so glad tomorrow is when Harry3 is being evaluated to see what he needs. This is good news! It would be good if he got 5 days a week as he would have access to all the equipment to help him do the various exercises. Parallel bars are great. And the exercise bike. He will have all the proper tools and his PT and OT to evaluate him ongoing. You are such a blessing Barb to be at their house at 8:30 to help HH and take Harry3 at 9 for the evaluation. This will help Hong Hong and hoping she will be less stressed now with Harry3 back in outpatient rehab! I will be praying much. Our temps are rising over weekend and Monday when I travel to Vancouver it is back in the 90’s again. I think I remember reading your temps are going back up to the 90’s. That is so scary you having those fires in your microwave, so glad you have bought a new one. How is your Finger? Is it healing? Prayers for you and the family.
Linda, how is Glenn today? Oops just saw your post. Glad he is feeling some better. Glad he took it easy today. My prayers continue for Glenn. Thank you for your words of encouragement. Yes I feel it is my Mission field just like friend has said. And yes my lips are showing some improvement but need a ways to go yet. Have some bleeding but not as much as there was.
I am at one of my Specialist tomorrow so this gal is calling it a night. Will say good night and God Bless! 😴🛌🤗🙏

Good Morning All
I’m leaving for my appointment and just saw the News that there are 31 Wildfires out of control in BC. Thanks for praying.
That’s all I know for now but will update you when home from my specialist appointment!0 -
Judith having so many fires out of control is never good. I'm glad summer will be over soon and maybe the fires won't be able to keep burning. I know it is cold in winter and every season has its challenges. Fires are just so very destructive and dangerous. Oh, I am encouraged that your lips are maybe improving a little but so sorry they are still bleeding. Yes, MFP has been extra annoying for me, too. If I hope elsewhere say to look up the weather, MFP forgets which page and thread I was working on and boots me back to the Community page or the Home page. It erases any post I started too unless I save it each time. I have only seen the program get worse, not better. We learn ways around it, I guess.
Linda, glad to hear Glenn is feeling better and hope he recovers completely very soon. Yes, I would wait till he can steady the ladder for you. The cleaning can wait! I don’t like to think of you slipping and falling. Colin is better today and slept better last night. He C even slept in a little this morning. I go y up first which is rare. I think we both had better sleep last night.
Barb, that is such good news that Harry3 is being assessed for rehab today and it is wonderful that you can help them. I hope the rehab really helps the family get back to feeling like they can cope with what has happened. Oh wow, fires in a microwave are so dangerous! Glad to hear you have a new one. Eek! Take care and stay safe, Barb.
Thank you all for your live and concern for us. I am praying for each of you.

Linda. Somglad that Glenn is feeling much better and no fever.
PTL. I hope the cleaning got done. I stand on one leg when I brush my teeth and then use the other one. It helps with balance.
we got or will get more fire smoke too so I feel for you. It can be bad especially for elderly, new babies and asthmatic people. Prayers Glennis continues his healing road.
We got a a new microwave it's like our old one, and some man picked up, our old one that was on the street by our drivewaySusan. Praying for you both. I hope Colin’s blood sugar was better today praying .
Judith I hope you made out well at the specialist today. So,glad yiu are seeing some healing prayers it continues. Prayong for yiu. Also that you sleep well tonight.
First day evaluation day. 3 will have 5 days a week therapy like what he had we will have to get him there at 8:30 for vital as and his sessions will be 9-3. Tomorrow off, I will be helping Jean as Cody has his 4 month checkup. . So Friday and all 5 days next week, he will have therapies. They evaluate him every 2 weeks. Nice place and OT & PT have their doctorate in their subject.
He dropped his sandwich on the floor today so I hooe he does better next time. He gets a hour for much.
we had a bit of rain this morning and may get some more early tomorrow morning.
Prayers for all.1 -
Glenn seems back to normal today. He was able to work quite a while today and tonight he is teaching a group of students in India for 1 1/2 hours on zoom. Tomorrow, he is back to his usual routine. I did get quite a bit of cleaning (vacuuming and dusting) done today in our guest bedroom/my study and the master bedroom. I did not get the smoke off the ceiling yet but maybe we can do that tomorrow.
Barb - I am so glad that 3 will be getting therapy 5 days a week. Consistency is so important to keep his muscles strong and healthy. I hope they can find some people who can drive him back and forth so you or HH do not have to do it. Is the facility very far away? Will he be getting Speech Therapy too?
Susan - I as glad that Colin's blood sugar is better and the two of you got more rest last night.
Judith - which specialist did you go to see today? Do you have an appointment for debridement with your surgeon tomorrow? Although I know that it is very painful, I hope he can remove some of the diseased tissue tomorrow to slow the growth. If you are still bleeding, I don't know what he will want to do. We have a few new wildfires that started this past weekend but it does not sound like we have as many as Canada has. So far our sky was pretty clear today but if the wind shifts, we will get smoke again. The lawn care people sprayed for weeds in our rock beds today and the smell of that was pretty overpowering. I am glad that we did not get smoke to deal with also.
0 -
Today our News reported 31 Wildfires not under control. They said there were about 50 Wildfires that had been contained. I know there was more about the wildfires but I was travelling to my appointment and missed it.
Barb, thank you for filling us in with today’s assessment. This is good Harry3 will have 5 days a week therapy. It’s good there are giving him enough time for all they want to cover in the therapy. That’s good the sessions run 9 to 3. They sound very organized. It’s good to know that Monday to Friday Harry3 will have therapy. Hope tomorrow goes well as you help Jean, wow, Cody, already 4 months old, where has the time gone? Good Harry3 will be evaluated every 2 weeks. My prayers are that the PT and OT will get him back to functioning well! Of course I’m praying for Harry3’s Healing!
Susan, you mentioned about MFP that when you clicked on something you found yourself back on the Community page, yes it happens to me also, especially when scrolling up to read the text again I am immediately sent to Community page or to actually sign in. Very annoying! I sure don’t understand MFP! Glad to hear Colin slept in today. That was so nice for both of you! Nice you both slept better last night. Hope this continues. Thanks for your encouragement and for your many prayers. My prayers continue for you both. Any news on the appeals yet. Trusting the appeals find favor in their eyes and it goes well for Colin.
with having a day at the specialist I am tired so heading to bed now. Sorry I am missing your Text tonight Linda.
I came back as I saw your Post Linda, so sorry that you were not able to Post for 2 Days on a lot of the Threads! I sure don’t understand what is going on with MFP. So sorry 😞 Linda it’s affecting you like this. Will be making this a matter of prayer!Good Night All and thank you for your prayers. And of course my prayers are with you all. God Bless 🙏🤗😴

Judith. It is good that you’re seeing healing on your mouth. It’s been a kk tone but so happy for you. How are you sleeping?
Howvdid seeing the specialist go? 🙏🙏
Ther is a lot of fires. California has lots Canada lots and north rim of Grand Canyon.
Prayers for all. I hope no loss of life, & houses prayers for the firemen.Linda So glad thatGlenn is feeling like yhimself. It’s nice you took advantage & got some cleaning done.
I cleaned out 3 restart my attachment that goes down the lint collector on the driers. I got quite a bit of lint at Jean’s house & Harry’s 3. I did our house too. I had to put in a new filter in the vacuum you use with the attachment.Susan How is Clons blood sugar? Praying for tooth. Also that maybe you can travel on holidays or weekends. Prayers for the speaks too though I think you said it takes time.
My finger is looking better I’ve been putting menthol on it? Though I had a busy day with healing Hean then visited 3 & family. Tomorrow we are to there at 7:30, to get him at the rehab by 8:30. Getting his wheelchair down the steps, 3 downstairs too & then 3 to the car. I hope he’s done eating & his lunch is made. We will be taking him every morning too. ( I need to get up early to have my devotions & water we are hot & high humidity),
then I’ll go to my craft group a bit late.
Next week 3 will have rehab Monday - Friday so a busy week picking him up. God will help us.
With the heat finding my plants are burning & i have a lilac plant with some flowers on it. Some buds look like they are drying up maybe dur to the upper 90* temps. 32.22* C.
Have a good weekend all!1 -
Barb, my plants were wilting and burning yesterday so I watered them, and today it is raining. We're supposed to be getting more rain so they will get another good soaking. I'm glad you are getting lots done and Harry3 is finally getting rehab hours. Hopefully that will really help at home. Colin's blood sugars are back to bring controlled now. We just have nights like that sometimes.
Judith, MFP was really playing up today and wouldn't let me post photos. I tried reporting it but my problem would not be posted when I submitted it. I don't know what else to do. I sure hope your medical appointments were tolerable yesterday. That's not good about the fires.
Linda, glad to hear Glenn is back to normal and you are getting lots done too. There's no news about Colin's funding. We have done what we can and just have to wait.

Barb, yes there are a lot of Wildfires here in BC and in the Grand Canyon and California. Our news showed the wildfires in California, it is so devastating seeing what the fires are doing there. I join my prayers with yours for the Safety and Protection for the People that their Homes and Properties are safe and of course praying for the Firemen who are working so hard in keeping us all safe. Trusting the Fires that are not contained will be put out quickly with no loss of homes or life! So glad to hear your finger is doing better. Praying for God’s Strength as you and Harry take your son to rehab. Trust everything goes according to plan with getting wheelchair down stairs and in car and helping Harry3 down the stairs and into the car. It’s a lot to do in such a short time to get him to rehab by 8:30AM yes you will have some early mornings getting yourself ready to leave on time. I know God will help you and give you all you need. Hope temps are not as hot as forecast says as 90 degree temps are sure warm! Be safe my friend!
Susan, yes MFP is sure causing a lot of issues with trying to post. So strange as some days it all goes smoothly and others we can’t get anywhere with posting. You said you even tried to report what was happening and you couldn’t even get it to post. Not Good. Sorry your plants were burning and wilting from it being so hot. Hope the rain you had will help them come back to life. We had rain yesterday morning and with cooler than the norm for August temps my plants are doing good but it’s supposed to be hot over weekend and by Monday high of 90+degree temps. I like it to be warmer than what it’s been but it’s going to the extreme.
Happy to hear Colin is stable with his Blood sugars. Hope you both continue to sleep better. You asked about yesterdays appointment: it went well with my Gynaecologist. The physical exams showed no concerns in those areas. Thank you Jesus. See them in 6 months for follow up and continue on with meds prescribed.
Then Susan, Barb and Linda you all have asked about my face:My face mouth and lips have a ways of healing to go, still bleeding but still some improvement, tomorrow morning I take last 2 antibiotics. See Surgeon on Monday, concerned as half of all areas is still raw so he might not be able to remove anything but thankful one half of my face & lips are looking better than they were. Thank you Susan Barb and Linda for Praying.
Appreciate and Love you all. I am here early but tired so will say bye for now. Be back tomorrow hopefully in the morning! ♥️🤗🙏

I went to my TOPS meeting today and lost 1#. I hope this is the direction I am going now. For a while I was just staying the same or up or down 1/4 pound. My problem is that on the evening after I weight in, I am not as careful as I should be with my food because I have a whole week before weighing in again. If I gain weight on my weight day or even the day after, I have to work harder to get that weight off as well as loose some more weight. I am causing myself distress by not being consistent with my eating.
Judith - 31 uncontrolled wild fires are a lot for your area. On top of those you have more that are partially contained. Are any of the fires close to you? Do you get the smoke from them? Good to hear your gynecologic appointment went well. I am glad that you do not have to see your surgeon until Monday. I pray that the antibiotic will continue to work after your last doses tomorrow.
Barb - I am sure that HH and 3 are grateful for your help in transporting 3 to the rehab. That is a lot of work for you to do every day. How many steps are there down from the house that you need to take the wheel chair down as well as 3 down? I am praying that this continued therapy will bring success in better walking and balance.
Susan - I am glad that you got a nice rain for you plants today. I try not to water my plants with house water because of all the chemicals that are put in it. Rain always seems to brighten up the plants so much better than house water. WE buy filtered water to drink to avoid the chemicals. When Colin's blood sugars are not good during the night is his machine not working well?
Good night to all 🌜except Susan - Good morning to you 🌞.

Good morning everyone. It's raining more here today. We're planning to go out to lunch with Lyn and Greg though.
Linda, yes, Colin's machine sometimes gets clogged or we may have hit a blood vessel when reseating a new insert in his arm or tummy which causes problems at the insert site like dried blood (he has two inserts, one to deliver insulin and one to measure blood sugars) or the fine hoses to the inserts get kinked sometimes. The machine itself might need a software update so doesn't work optimally till he has done that. Or the inserts themselves can be faulty. Or Colin's body can just behave differently because he feels unwell, has exercised more (or less) for the day, has eaten differently. Or he may sweat and the insert bandaids no longer stick to his skin and the canula becomes unseated. There's lots that can go wrong. We're happy when everything works as it should. I have also noticed what you mentioned about house vs rain water and how the plants respond. We also filter our drinking and cooking water. Hey, congratulations on your weight loss! I sure battle with myself about sabotaging my own efforts. It's good you have started to lose the weight again.
Judith, I am glad the Gynaecolgist appointment went well. Thank you for explaining how your face is responding. We're all praying for you and hope your surgeon has something good to tell you. The fires sure are a big concern. Stay safe and out of the smoke if you can. That won't help, hey.
Barb, how are you doing with the help you are giving Harry3? Thinking of you as you all start a new routine.

Judith. Yes lots of fires and prayers for all I have th smoke too some days our sky is white instead of blue. All due to the smoke, it’s bad for seniors and babies, plus of you have asthma.
prayers it gets better with the firemen stopping or getting all the fires under control.
So glad for your healing and prayers for more, maybe with less bleeding and your busy Monday. So glad your gynecologist appointment went well PTL.Susan. So glad you got one rain. You have bit ing plants in the winter. Thats interesting I have burning plants too but it’s I the 90’s with heat index pver 100*F So, glad that Colin is back to normal. Hope for a good weekend for you. We may get rain on Sunday and Monday. We will need it. There is talk of possible flooding which I don’t want and hope hat we can get Harry 3 into the car well.
Hooe Colin machine works better for you too.
Linda. So glad you lost some weight that is always good! I try not to eat of I can no food after 6. 7 for, sure I prefer an early supper 4:30 or 5 but life happens. Prayers you can make not earring a habit maybe past a time or so?So today we got 3 there, it was a junta are but done I hope 5 days of it next week go well easier maybe each day be ice Harry, hubby will have his late hime Tuesday night so might not be home till 4 and we need to be at their house at 7:15-7:30 3 is eating the dad Harry helps him dress and is her if he needs he.p with his contacts etc
HH is busy in case a daughter wakes up I did help, Mariposa get dressed Amy helped too, she goes back to.Hong Kong Sunday I am sure Mariposa will cry, HH like to,take her to,the airport.
We left at 8:15 as planned but the traffic was bad, a accident, so I need to check, the traffic report, then when we got to the rehab, his wheelchair, which is new was making an awful noise well 3’s PT therapist fixed his wheelchair it’s only 2.5 weeks old. So we really were not early maybe Monday though there may be rain I hope it’s light of we have itWe have a filter of water in the refrigerator, and I water with our water plants from the faucet outside. I picked my 3 cucumber today we stay very healthy too.
Tomorrow is our sons bday they are on their way hime from visiting my Mom in Lancaster, PA hime is Branson, MO. Sunday is Jeans bday then Monday is my sister bday, who, lives in PA she visits my mom every Thursday so she’s big help for her. (Jean is Blake, Evan and Cody’s mom).
Have a great weekend all0 -
We had a really nice time on our lunch date. The place was very small but not a lot of people there at 11:30am but the food was good. I had wanted to walk there but it was already 94F and we knew that it would be hotter when we walked back so we drove the mile there. In the afternoon we went to go exercise and the facility was closed due to electricity being off. There is a lot of street construction going on near there so I suppose that is what was wrong. I was thinking that if we did not walk to the restaurant, we would get out exercise in the afternoon but that was not possible. We will try to get out exercise done tomorrow.
Susan - I am glad you were able to go out to lunch with Lyn and Greg. How far do they live from you? Thanks for explaining the insulin pump problems to me. There are a lot of things that could and do go wrong with it. I hope the software update will help and things will go smoother. With all the tubing, I can understand how that would cause kinks and issues.
Barb - In our TOPS meeting we were talking about how important it is to see food as a necessity and not a treat or something special. If we see not eating things we really like (breads, desserts, carbs, etc) as being deprived of enjoyment, we will want to eat it more and will have weight gain problems. If we see it as fuel that is needed to make our bodies function and as normal as taking a daily shower or changing clothing, it will not be as much a temptation to over eat or eat something we should not eat. I hope that as you continually help 3 get to the rehab each morning, it will be come more of a routine and be easier to do unless there is an accident as you had today. Wednesday sounds like it will be a hard day for Harry (hubby) since he will not get much sleep. What time does he go to work? Would he have time for a short nap after taking 3 to rehab? I am praying that HH will be able to handle things after Amy leaves on Sunday. She is already overwhelmed and with her mom gone I hope she can adjust. I am glad that the staff was able to fix 3's wheel chair. My dad did that kind of work when he was in living in assisted living. It was something he enjoyed since he was a mechanic when he was younger. He had to stop when his vision worsened from his macular degeneration. You have a lot of birthdays all together - Mom, Mariposa, son, Jean, and your sister!
Judith - prayers continue for healing, pain control and rest.

Evening Hello Everyone,
Linda congrats on your 1 pound weight loss, well done! keep up the great work! So happy you had a lovely Date Lunch together. It was warm at 94 degrees so I can understand you both driving to the restaurant. So sorry your plans didn’t work out for you both to go for exercise with the facility closed with no electricity. Hope tomorrow works better. Yes a lot of fires here. We have had a lot of grey skies and heaps of clouds, guess it’s from the smoke but later in afternoon it clears up. I stay in as much as possible but wear a N95 mask when outside to protect myself.
Susan, it was nice you had lunch with Lyn and Greg. It was good reading about the issues with insulin pump and other issues that can cause the problems with Colin’s blood sugar. Hope a new soft ware update will help. Continue to keep you both in prayer.
Barb, I received your e-mail with telling me you were not able to post on Chat. MFP is really causing many issues. I tried 3 times tonight to get on as I was timed out each time. So good to see you on tonight! You have lots of birthdays coming up. Your Son, Sister, Jean, please with them all a Happy Birthday. 🥳 I was surprised actually a bit shocked to read Harry3’s wheelchair that is 2 weeks old had to be fixed. It’s great the PT was able to repair it. You have your hands full with getting Harry3 to rehab and help HH with girls. Praying the rehab helps Harry3 with his Balance and Walking.
Will say Good Night and God Bless…😴🙏🤗 Thanks for all your prayers!

Good morning. Church day here so I am just checking in for now. I have trouble getting ready on time otherwise!
I will just say, Colin's pump isn't always a problem and it has settled down. The issues I mentioned are all the problems we have dealt with over the years. We also have a help line to call if something happens that we cannot figure out. It's all good now.
Must dash!

Susan. Happy Lord’s day, our’s will be coming after a ight sleep. Glad Colin’s pump,issue settled down. Sorry you have to, deal with it but so glad you got a help,lime I case you ed it happy Monday and hope it’s a great day for you ! Prayers for you.
Judith So Harry3 wheelchair we had his seat cushions in the wrong direction so a very easy fix I told 3 to, stand up and he didn’t want too. So, I kind of was right, as he would have noticed that it was in the wrong way, we will need to see how it goes on.
So glad you are protecting yourself with the fires I wonder if there is more fires than usual seem we keep hearing of so many prayers for all Prayers for youLinda. Harry, hubby will go to work, on Tuesday at 2 Pm, and not get home till Wednesday morning I Hioe before 4 AM. He places his 2 big hime medicine at a veterans home. Yes he will, nap, before he goes to, work, after helping with 3.
Yes I hope in time 3 will have his strength and be easier getting him down stairs and maybe not needing wheelchair in God’s timeWe may have rain on Monday but I hope it’s light or maybe a break. 🙏🏻 We are in a flood watch after.a heat advisory for 2 days, yesterday and today. It’s so humid, one gets so, sweaty after short walk. we are in a flood watch as maybe we will have 2 days of rain, Sunday and Monday.
i’ll be glad when we don’t have the humidity. I guess that is in the fall.
Yes, we have lot of August bdays but it’s nice each have their own day. Now we have a few in August as Annabella is one day before my bday.
Harry will take HH and Amy to airport after church & I will go & have lunch there plus watch the girls and maybe 3. Then Harry/hubby, will go to work.Happy new week all

I am sitting at my desk with a very warm breeze coming through the window moving the curtains. Today was a high smoke day. The mountains that we see every day in the distance were nowhere to be seen. We only saw a white cloud that covered the mountains. This afternoon it cleared off a bit so we could see the outline of them but it was very hazy. I spend quiet a bit of time tonight working on our student files for the school. We are working on accreditation and my files need to be neat and in order when they look at them. Fortunately, I am not the only one working on the files so I can work together with my assistant that does the Spanish speaking students. She usually has some very good ideas. I went the the ARC (used clothing store) today and everything was 50% off. I was looking for some jeans to wear at the cabin and in the trailer. The ones I have have been patched and are continue to wear out. I was excited to get three pair for a total of $11 and a few cents. They are sturdy and have a bit of stretch in them so they are easy to walk and work in.
Judith - I am glad that you have a good mask to protect you when you are outside. It can protect from the smoke and germs too. I am thinking about your appointment with the doctor on Monday. Are your mouth/lips looking any better? There does seem like there are a lot of fires lately. I know it is because it has been so dry here and then we have lightening. When they are man caused, it causes more concern.
Susan - I hope you had a good Sunday service and afternoon. We will be going to church earlier tomorrow since Glenn is preaching. In the morning, every minute I have counts since I can be slow if I am tired. I am trying to get to bed before midnight tonight.
Barb - I hope you do get rain over the weekend but not the flood that they are warning about. I am glad it was an easy fix for 3's wheelchair. It is easy to put the cushion in wrong when someone is in a hurry but the person sitting, can sure tell the difference. Praying for a safe trip for Amy back to her home tomorrow.

Linda, didn’t sound like a great way to work sitting at your desk with warm breeze coming in your room. You have had it hot 🥵 there, hope it cools down some, especially with the fires and no rain. You said about the sky being so grey couldn’t see the mountains that got my attention, as I haven’t seen our mountains near my home either, no wonder, too Smokey for us to see them. Even late in day with sun peaking through the white grey skies. We had Thunder storm warnings yesterday but nothing came about. Hope you enjoy your Sunday service, what theme and Book in the Bible is Glenn preaching on? Look forward to hear about it. Hope you get to bed before midnight that you are hoping for.
Susan, hope you enjoyed your Sunday services and your afternoon music practices. We’re you getting together with friends for Sunday lunch? I always enjoyed our Sundays, We Families went to Church together and after gathered at Mom’s for Sunday dinner, usually Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding and all the trimmings. I did that all the years my kids lived at home and after when they married we still got together. Thanks for sharing about the years you had issues with the Insulin pump but these days it is doing good but it’s good you have the help if you need it. Hope your Monday is Blessed. Yes with the smoke from the fires I make sure I protect myself with a proper mask! Part of my face looks better but there are areas that are not great. I see the Surgeon Monday. Hopefully he can treat some of the area.
Barb, praying you don’t get any floods if you get the rain forecast is saying. I know you said it’s so hot and dry and you need the rain, but hoping no floods in your area. It’s nice even though with all the Birthdays in August you all have your own day. It was like that for us in October, my Paternal Granfather was October 4 and I am October 5 and my Dad is October 6 and my Maternal Grandfather was October 22nd so October was one continuous Birthday 🥳 Party after another. As a Child I thought it was fun. So glad it was an easy fix with the Cushion for Harry3’s wheelchair. When it’s so rushed in the morning I can understand how the cushion could be placed in the wheelchair incorrectly! Hope the days get easier as you help Harry3 get to his Rehab. Hard to believe it’s tomorrow already that Amy is leaving to go home, HH and the girls will sure miss her. So nice your hubby Harry is taking Amy and HH to the airport after church. Praying for safety for everyone. Hope it’s a nice time for you to be with your Granddaughters and Harry3.
Have a Blessed Sunday all, enjoy your Sunday services and family time! Susan it will be your Monday, blessings too!
Will say Good Night God Bless! 🙏🤗✝️

I heard to today eating lunch with (3 and Annabella, that 3 walked on a walker for 8:minutes on Friday in therapy a first for him that to me is big news.
Amy should be in LA and then flies to Hong Kong it’s a long flight. She gets there Tuesday, but. then Hong Kong is 13 hours ahead of us, kind of like Susan.
We didn’t get as much rain as they forecasted no flooding. Even had flood watch wi5bbo rain. Crazy. We got .5” maybe more tomorrow I hope.
When HH got home she helped 3 lie down and I changed and put Annabella down for her nap. She is one happy baby.
I helped clean up the table, floor and asked HH if she needed any more help she was fine. Hopefully we get 3 to rehab faster now accidents. I’ll check traffic report.
James and family are back in Branson safely. My mom, Carolyn is in a lot of pain. Probably did,too,much with James and family. She has curved back/spine plus has sciatica nerve damage. No fun. Please pray.I hope all had a good day at church ourn Burch’s power went off so that was interesting 3 minutes after the service was over the power went on. It was maybe a transformer
Prayers for you Judith and hope you can have more healing, Somglad some is healing exciting for you. Neat about all your October bdays, Judith.
Prayers for all.1 -
Hello again. I didn't get to post much before Uke practice this morning but it is lunch time now so I have little time. We just did some grocery shopping and put it away. We always buy big packs of meat and Colin repacks it into dinner for 2 portions. He has almost finished doing that. I made a fried egg sandwich for me but he doesn't know what he wants yet.
Barb, it is sounding good about Harry3's rehab. I hope Amy gets home safely. It's lovely you got to spend time with your granddaughters too. And wow about the flooding warning but I am glad no floods happened! Did you get to go to church if there was no power? Our services yesterday were lovely even though it was rainy and cold. It's a beautiful sunny day today so far.
Judith, we had already been out to lunch twice during the week so we didn't go out on Sunday too. We used to go out to lunch every Sunday but now no one much does that. It has become so expensive. Many lunch meals now cost about $40 per person before drinks, entrees or deserts! There was no music practice yesterday either. So we came home after church and Colin had a nap. It was warmer at home too. I almost wore gloves to church as my hands were so cold. It would have been a good idea! But I didn't remember my gloves. The weather here will start to turn warmer soon.
Linda, I hope Glenn's preaching time went well. Did you get to bed earlier? I hope it helped you with getting ready in time. I seem to be able to stretch out whatever time I have so I am always rushing when I have to be somewhere on time. Silly me. I hope the fires die down for you and for Judith very soon. It must be so unpleasant with the smoke and the heat.
Uke practice this morning was good. We're all finally learning the chords and timing to our three show songs. One song we have to pick individual notes which is kind of new to us. We'll need to record the three songs soon, maybe in mid September. This afternoon there is singing practice and we are singing for the Village the following Monday for Vietnam Veterans' Day.
You all take care.

Susan, yes I hear you about earring out is so expensive. We always went out after Church but with the cost of living I heard that some of my friends were planning on going to different friends with each taking a dish to share. I think that a better plan. My friend and her husband go out once or twice a montafter church, they go to a Chinese restaurant where they serve a Buffet. And they have Seniors discount so they save money! Glad your Ukulele practice went well!
Barb, so glad Harry3 is doing better with his walking, was good to hear that Harry3 walked for 8 minutes on Friday. So encouraging. Praying for safe journey for Amy. Sure is a long trip home. Glad to hear you didn’t get much rain and there was no rain. Glad you were able to help HH and help with the girls. I am so sorry to hear about your dear Mom in so much pain. Will keep her in prayer. Siatica Nerve damage is so painful. I’m praying! Happy to hear that James and family are safely back in Branson! So try about the Church’s power going out.
Thanks for everyone’s prayers! Tomorrow morning I leave for the hospital for my follow up regarding the infection! Will keep you posted.
In closing hope you had a great Sunday Linda and you had a great Church Service. What did Glenn preach on? Look forward to hear all about it.
Off to bed now. See you all tomorrow! God Bless! 😴💤🛌🙏🤗
