The Storm Has Passed... Blue Skies Ahead

The rain has passed but now we are left with the aftermath of picking up limbs and branches from the trees. Praise God we did not have any downed trees.
Janice has been entering mother's recipes into a cookbook program that can be published and distributed to family as a legacy to mother since she passed in 2006.
This week will entail Janice volunteering, taking Desi to the vet, going to Lake City, going to our timeshare in Orlando.

We Almost Needed An Ark

We had about ll inches of rain here and water was just standing in yards here... like ponds.
Our dog was smart enough to stay under the garage or on the door stoop instead of getting out in it.
Janice had the privilege of meeting missionaries at the Good Sam Center where she volunteers that I stayed with on a furlough from Vietnam. They were serving in Japan... Dorothy and Austin Warriner. Dorothy is a resident at Good Sam and Austin comes at each meal and feeds her and plays the piano for the residents. Monday is their anniversary and Janice plans to make a celebration cake for them.
Today is church day... a time to WORSHIP our LORD. May we all give just a little back to Him for all the blessings He has given us.

Tropical Storm Fay is HERE

We have had rain since yesterday morning. It is Saturday, August22
Lots of rain, power outages, fallen trees, closed schools, closed govt offices.
Desi spent last night in the house... mistake... she got on the table and got a loaf of french bread off the table. Enjoyed Bruce's house school reunion... it was at Crystal Lake, Illinois. Traveled to Wisconsin and toured the Jelly Belly Factory. Ate lunch at the Parthenon in Greek town in Chicago. Went to church at Hope Community in Chicago and we had church... a true worship of our LORD. Youth sang, had liturgical dance and the pastor gave an excellent sermon.
