Shortly after 2 p.m. on a "rain-ish"* Monday afternoon in New Hampshire. (Y'know, as opposed to a rainy night in Georgia??) LOL Anyway, last week's lack of news is now an abundance of Praise!!

First of all, Mike's regular doctor came into the office early because the only way he could get to and from his appointment was by a bus route that goes up and back only once a day. So, although his scheduled time was supposed to be late afternoon, he went in the morning, not only to guarantee he could get there, but also to guarantee that he wouldn't miss the later run by his appointment going too late. Then she told him that the scans he had had done the other week showed a polyp on his spinal cord. He has a consultation for surgery on the 18th!! Now, obviously this doesn't mean the surgery will…

Just after 4 p.m. on this rainy Wednesday afternoon. I would have gotten around to this sooner, but I had my granddaughter, Brandi Sunday afternoon until yesterday afternoon when Carissa came to get her. Carissa's trip to Mexico went well, at least to get her out of the "neighborhood" for a bit. And that was the main thing. Unfortunately, she and her friends stayed at the resort most of the week, so they didn't actually visit Chichen Itza, although they were in the area.

Meanwhile, Mike has seen his regular doctor again. She authorized more of the pain/sleep meds for during the day since his pain is constant. Also, he's going to be on some kind injection schedule for his diabetes and weight loss. They want him to consult about the injections, but he was a Medic in the Army, so he doesn't need help with it.

No other current…

Just before 3 p.m. on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. The smoke from the Canadian wild fires seems to have taken a different route today, so Praise God!! At the same time, continued prayers for all they are going through up and over there.

As it turned out, Jasmine and Bryan did not make it down again yesterday. But that's okay, it's been nice seeing her twice in the past 2 months as it is. Continued prayers that they can find a place closer to Rockland, as that hasn't happened yet.

Meanwhile, my oldest, Carissa, goes on her Girls' Trip with a couple of friends early tomorrow morning. They are going to spend the week in the Dominican Republic!! (I wish I could go!!) But, seriously, she deserves this time away to just have fun and relax on the beach. It's her friend's daughter's birthday, and they wanted to do something…

Almost 4:30 on this hot, sunny, Monday afternoon. A bit late in the day for me, typically, but these message notes are really short, so I figured I would just get it done.

Not much news, except my birthday last Saturday (57), and the fact that my youngest, Jasmine, and her boyfriend, Bryan were able to make it down to visit. Yay!! 🥰They thought there was a car show the same weekend, but it's this coming weekend instead. Not sure yet if they will be back down or not. They still need to figure out a place to live in or nearer to Rockland. Prayers appreciated.

Mike is still in pain, but the meds are helping him sleep, at least. He has another appointment for MRIs on Wednesday. Pray more answers and solutions can be found.

Aside from that, my oldest, Carissa called earlier with some local history questions and…

Almost 2:30 on this misty, albeit MUCH COOLER than last week, Tuesday afternoon. It was so nice out Saturday night that I turned my AC down to the fan setting, so yay!!

Speaking of Saturday, my parents, uncle, and I, had a successful trip to the annual Family Reunion and back. After a fashion, anyway... while I had gotten an idea of the neighborhood on google maps, I hadn't actually put the address into the GPS, figuring on homemade signs or obvious amounts of cars in a driveway. It was a bit embarrassing when we stopped at the wrong house first!! 🫣Anyway, they knew who we were looking for and we ended up fine. At least we know now, in case they host again another year.*

Jeremy and Sharon may have some really good news in terms of getting her here from the Philippines. Her brother has been offered a…

Shortly after 3 p.m. on this sunny Sunday afternoon. The temps aren't bad right now, but later this week, we're expecting 90s... 🥵🥵 I was telling Mike earlier that, as much as I don't like to use AC, I'm going to turn it on tonight and leave it on all week!! Last time, it was already hot by the time I used it, so it didn't make a lot of difference. This time, it should.

Not much else to share this week other than the fact that Mike FINALLY got his latest prescription on Friday. It's doing okay for him, so far. He actually slept 4 hrs. in a row the other night, which is rare for him, so Praise God!! Continued prayers for full healing of his ears, neck, and shoulder.

On Saturday, the USA will be celebrating our 250th Birthday!! I will be borrowing Carissa's car to take…

Just before 3 p.m. on a rainy Monday afternoon. Before I forget, belated Happy Father's Day to my American audience members who resemble that remark!! LOL Whether you've been a father for decades, months, your wife is expecting, you are a step-father, or simply a mentor to a younger man or child, I see you and applaud any good efforts you are making. As they say, "Any guy can be a father; but it takes a special one to be called 'Daddy'.". If you're in that second category, God Bless You!! If not, I'll pray for you. Personally, I'm blessed with a wonderful father, and thank God for him. We had a nice time yesterday in spite of the brief thunderstorm that came through about 10 minutes after we had started out on the porch. After about 5 minutes, we moved inside.

Meanwhile, my BFF, Andrea has experienced her first…

Just after 2:30 on another hot, muggy Sunday afternoon. It's supposed to be way more comfortable tomorrow. I certainly hope so!!

After lunch earlier, I was considering the idea of inviting my neighbor and ex-boyfriend, Rob, up to visit. I texted him, but he said he had company. I'll most likely have him up tomorrow since I've decided to do this now.

Pray for the people in the southern areas of the Philippines. I saw news of the major earthquake on FB the other day. That's the region Jeremy's fiancee lives in. I haven't heard from him since before it happened, so I don't know if she has been affected directly. All I know is that Davao City was on the list of high impact and that she lives about 4 hrs away by car.

Not much else going on right now other than the fact that Mike is still…
