Judith. So neat the way good provided for you. Costco has big supplies. So that’s great, you have enough for some time. God is good. Thank you for, the prayers. So Thursday y you see the dr and 3 sees his eye Dr. (in time maybe he will see a Neuro ophthalmologist.). Yes so,glad HH will go with him. Yes I’ll watch the girls too.
pray Mariposa sleeps tonight as she didn’t sleep good last night.
there was only adultsmthere our kids didn’t go so,probably in a few years maybe no reunion. After all this is 3 generation that goes. The 4 generation don’t go. It was not wheelchair accountable for 3.
We use to, have the reunion at a park and it was hit, dirty muddy etc. the kids went then and had fun. The cousins are 3 or 4 cousins not first so we really don’t know them. We would stick with the family we knew. Oh well it was fun. Only 25 there so not many considering how big it could be.

Susan. Prayers for Colin. Hope the liniment works for, Colin. So,glad no after shocks for you. Prayers for you. I have heard that the aftershocks can be as bad too, so, God is good.
Thank you for the prayers.

Linda. Happy anniversary. How many years is it for you guys? What did you eat at Olive Garden? Is it your favorite? Your meal being free due to the waiter that doesn’t happen much.
A nice anniversary gift from God

Pray I’ll bite my tongue and not feel stressed at 3’s house, with all we have to do to help 3 get out for his therapy. I might suggest that the more English 3 hears may help his rewiring. The brain I really feel, him hearing Cantonese is not helping his healing rewiring.
we did get him to, therapy on to, even with leaving later than usual.
Hope all, have a good day. 🙏🏻

That's good about you getting Harry3 to his appointment on time, Barb. Praying for you all. Maybe ask the rehab people anout language and Harry3's brain health. Does he speak Cantonese? Loved that you had a family reunion. They are so rare for us as we all live so far from each other. Yes, no aftershocks so far but there have been more earthquakes along the Ring of Fire we are part of here, in Indonesia and some of the nearby Pacific Islands. You probably know that the Ring of Fire is all around the Pacific Ocean including the west coast of the US and Canada...we're just on opposite sides of it.

Linda, happy anniversary to you and Glenn! It sounds like you had a nice time going out. Glad you were given the takeaway you ordered for free! Thank you for agreeing to post the chicken zoodle recipe for us, too. I'll look for it after I finish posting here. Your tip about sticking to zucchini noodles is appreciated.

Judith, what a blessing your friends are! That's so lovely of them. 🤩 I'm sorry you have had trouble posting on MFP. I lost another big post this morning as well. Has the rain eased where you are? We are expecting heavy rain this week but so far it has only been overcast today.

We now have new smoke detectors that were installed this morning, we have two well-brushed dogs with trimmed faces, clean teeth and manicured paws, there is gf cooking in the freezer, and Colin is bringing home some groceries very soon. It's been a domestic kind of day!

Linda, Happy Anniversary and God Bless you both. How many years is this for you both? The Olive Garden is a nice place to eat, good food. We had one near my GP and after my appointment I’d often get a Salad and Sandwich sometimes the soup of the day. Great you got to take a meal home with you! Thank you for posting the recipes on our Thread. Great your Church group enjoyed. I saw the Chicken Lemon and Noodle recipe and the one you had forgot to post from the week before. I will share those recipes with both my kids, I am sure they will enjoy!

Susan, yes it is such a blessing receiving all those paper products, and them telling me it’s not just a one time gift it’s ongoing. God is so good! With all the expenses of prescriptions my oncologist has been prescribing and the transportation costs and just weekly groceries the bills sure add up so these gifts have sure come in at just the right time! Praise God! So happy no aftershocks in your area. And yes I have heard about the ring of fire, so sorry there have been more earthquakes in those areas. We have had a few in Victoria, BC but I didn’t feel any shaking but my Daughter did. Other times I have. It is a little unnerving when the pictures start moving and dishes rattle and when you first hear that loud bang before the rumbling and shaking sure is scary. My prayers continue for you and Colin.

Barb, yes, we had large reunions at one point but with Aunts and Uncles now have passed on the numbers are fewer now. We had so many Cousins and their kids, but now a lot of second cousins I know but the 3rd cousins I don’t know now. It’s great memories though of all the happy times when we had all the family attending for Family reunions. Do you have family spread across the USA? I know you have family in Victoria BC Canada, do you have any other family in Canada? I hope things get easier for you as you pick up Harry3 for Rehab. I think it would be a good idea to ask Harry3’s Doctor and or rehab specialist about languages other than English spoken in the home if it would be confusing for Harry3 as he recovers. It kind of makes sense even though Harry3 can speak and know Cantonese but since the brain injury he is not processing things the same. It will take time. I believe Harry3 will recover & be healed in Jesus Name. Will pray for his eye appointment, happy HH is going with Harry3.

Take care everyone, my prayers are with you all. I’m off to bed! Sleep well! Be back tomorrow morning to post the Bible Reading and Daily devotions for you! God Bless!

Today I went to lunch with friends and brought 1/2 of my chicken wrap home to eat for dinner. Glenn had his entree from last night so we were set to eat without me having to cook much. I did have some leftover sweet potatoes and zucchini from the meal on Sunday so I did cook some of that to round out the dinner with vegetables. I did not have a domestic day like Susan did have so I will have extra cleaning to do before our Bible study group meets tomorrow evening. The house stays pretty clean so there is not a lot to do. Today we had the pest control people come over to look at some sawdust we have been seeing on our bedroom floor. We could not see what was causing it in just one area. He pounded on the window sill and lots of ants came tumbling out. They must have been inside the wall chewing up the sill. He sprayed for the ants and told us to caulk the window in every area that we could see a crack in the wood. The pest control people normally come every quarter to do a general spraying around the house but we had not seen these ants until about a month ago. I hope that the caulking does not just stop them from coming into the house but allows they to live in the walls. He was pretty sure that the spraying he did would kill them so I hope he is correct.

Barb - My favorite Olive Garden entree is Grilled Chicken Margherita that comes with garlic broccoli and no pasta. I also order the garden salad and it is a complete meal. I give the bread sticks to Glenn. Today is our 52nd anniversary. We reminisced today about what we were thinking and expecting on the day of our wedding. Our lives have turned out so different than we ever could have imagined and it is so much better! God had his hand in our lives forming us into what could serve Him best. I think our generation is the last that thinks reunions are a good thing. I think that with all the ways these newer generations have to communicate they do not feel the need to get together face to face. Is HH speaking Cantonese to the girls to teach them or was it when she was with her mother? If it is just her mother, now that she is gone maybe it will not be confusing for 3 now.

Susan - you did have a busy domestic day. I love those days when I do not need to go anywhere but can focus on my house and making it more enjoyable to have people over and comfortable for us. I would also like to do some deep cleaning like cupboards and closets but it seems those do get neglected in this house.

Judith - It sounds like you have been getting a lot of rain in your area and possible flooding. The weather report said tonight that for the next 4 days we will be in the 100 - 103F range. The weather in Westminster is cooler with rain and temps in the 70's so I am glad we will over there for a week. I also heard that Spain and Portugal are having huge wildfires so we are not the only ones with this problem.

I am concerned about not hearing from Marilyn for a while. The last she posted was June 16th and MFP says that she was last active July 9th. God knows what is happening and I am praying for her and her family.
