Prayers for Patty and more.....

A fellow JLander Patty (littlelady1699) needs our prayers. Patty was in an automobile accident. I asked if she needed prayers and she said yes. So please keep her in prayer or good thoughts for a speedy recovery.

I have been trying to get caught up on alerts, but with all the interruptions I'm not having much luck. I get 2 or 3 alerts read and commented on, something happens or someone needs something, I come back and got a dozen more alerts added, lol. Wow, you guys got busy lives to write about, lol. But I love it and I love reading about your days and lives. So, if I haven't gotten to you in the past day or two please know I will.

I had to go downstairs earlier for a couple hours. Joe had a bigger satelite dish installed and a new box for the new toy (TV) he bought. Wow, is that tv great. Now I really want one. It's like being in a movie theater, with a big clear picture and surround sound. I called his cell while he was at work and told him he has to share. If there's a movie on I want to see I'm coming downstairs to watch it and I'll bring the popcorn, lol. He said I can watch his tv anytime, and even during the day when he's at work. That was nice of him. But I still want my own, lol.

I am doing much better. My sleeping is doing very well lately. Except for the night before last when I was awakened at 4am by my ever so loving child, grrrrrrrrrrr. She said there was bad scarey pictures in her head and she couldn't sleep. So, we had to get up. And once I am awakened I cannot go back to sleep. But I did manage to get a nap at my daughter's house. I was holding my grandson and he fell asleep in my arms and so did his mommom. Last night Jim took over the computer. He had some music to make for his boss, so I sat and watched one of my favorite shows, "Big Love" which is on HBO, then I went to bed. Yep at 10pm I was asleep and didn't get up until 6am. I fixed the coffee, packed Jims lunch and sat down and watched the morning news. We're at 237 murders now in the city of Philadelphia so far this year. It's getting to where your afraid to even go out of your house anymore. Jim said he worries about Rebecca and I when he is at work or away. I told him when we're home I keep the door locked, and if we're in the van driving, I also keep the doors locked. And if we are not in the van the doors are kept locked so no one can hide in it. I have 3 windows in my livingroom that are over the porch roof. Someone can easily stand on the rail and climb up and come in those windows, so they are kept locked if I am not home or Jim is away. All the other windows they cannot get too, unless their spider man and can walk up 2 stories on side of house, lol.

Besides this journal there is 4 others. None are private, so if you'd like to take a peek feel free to do so. I have 2 recipes I am going to add to the OutOfMyKitchen journal. Since it is summer and there's lots of fresh grown veggies around and some of you are growing some of your own, I thought these recipes used with cucumbers would be fitting. They are Chilled Cucumber soup and Crab Salad with Cucumbers.

 

Well it is time for me to try and straighten this livingroom up some. I have only managed to make the beds so far today. Keep cool and drink lots of water.

 

Love to all,
