~Prayers For Mary's Family~

These mini daisies are outside my living room window :-)

My dear friend Mary, that reads this every day,
and leaves the nicest comments, I am asking that
you keep her and her husband Bob in your prayers.
Bob fell Tuesday and broke his hip, he had to have
surgery on Wednesday, I am sure he will recover,
but it will be a lot of work and physical therapy.
They are such dedicated dear people and from what
I gather Bob was helping to put a new roof on their
church when he fell. Mary, bless her heart, will have
a rough go for a while as she has 3 special needs
children that require a lot of her time. Shes a very
special angel...and a dear friend.. Keep her and her
family in your prayers :-)
I took some more photos of course! We have been
having some storms that just seem to blow up from
no where, the sky will get dark, the wind will blow
and blip! its past, I'm glad they blow over, REALLY!
I heard the tornado siren go off yesterday and it
wasn't testing time for it, I looked out to see what
the sky said, and saw the neighbors out there not
paying any attention so I figured was just a test
again.. I checked the TV, nothing there, and I had
the Sturgis Oldies radio station on, which they
never give us any kind of updates on any thing any
way, even when we lost power, which being a local
station you would think they would, but nothing on
there either, so I just sat and waited :-) I cant
do much else anyway even if there really WAS a
tornado.. Well I guess I would be safer in the
closet, no windows in there, since I have no base
ment here.
Penny planted some sun flower seeds and theyre
doing pretty good.. She put them here next to the
back door.. Well out by the driveway where we
feed the birds AND put the sunflower seeds you
see one fell into the Impatients out there, the ones
Penny planted.. If the bunny doesn't see it I'm
hoping it will get really big.. We had to move the
other Impatients more into the shade over by the
weird flowers out there, Its just not doing good,
I asked Joyce, she thinks it needs plant food, and
it might.. I hope it does better it was so pretty.
I found out today from Penny that up here by Battle
Creek is a big air show this week end.. Every morning
the hot air balloons will launch and even possibly fly
overhead here, its only about 30 miles, north to get
to Battle Creek, its famous for Kellogg Cereal.. From
reading the website, the THUNDERBIRDS will be
there ! Those amazing jets that perform. I saw them
once in Elkhart and I was most impressed.. I would
love to go there, but there is ALOT going on HERE !


Penny and I checked the website and the parade here
tomorrow will line up right out here by my house and
the high school.. I could go out my front door and see
them all ! From the photos on the website the parade
is huge! And festivities start tonite.. I was glad to see
that there will be fireworks here tomorrow too.. I
don't know where they will be launched from but I
hope the high school field :-) Id have front row seating!
Wanna come watch with me? Will be a fun week end!

Time to post and get this week end started, I'm not
dealing with anything and just going to enjoy what I
hope I can see from my little corner of the world
here and not worry and be happy :-) That's what
GORGEOUS WEEBLES are sposta do anyways ! :-)
But, "I shall be back!" :-)


Y'all have a good one now, Y"hear? love ya and thanks!
Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You", is my prayer today.
I'm honored to call you Friend.
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again...

    Hi, Honey,
    As you say, dear Mary is a special kind of Angel and I will certainly remember her and her Hubby in my prayers. I guess, if he has broken his hip, they will give him a replacement joint. At least he will never have to bother about Arthritis in that one!
    We have the "Red Arrows" here - the World's best. I hate to say it, but I have seen them do a full routine, modified by the cloud, when the "Thunderbirds" reckoned the weather was too bad to fly!!
    I will now sing "Rule Brittania" a couple of times. Did I hear someone say "Chauvanist"?
    Take care, Honey,
    Luv Ya,
    Raife

    I love the whole July 4th thing. My church always has a picnic and I have a friend who always does a spread at the Sportsman Bar in Brooklyn's China Town. There are always plenty of band concerts and I like Sousa's music.
