Hi! Ladies,
How are y'all doing? I hope your weather is better than ours in Rhome, although I know for a fact that Oklahoma is suffering as much as we are. I believe I heard on TV that we have passed our 41st day of 100 degree plus temperature this year in our area. It is so dry that I have begun watering our trees that were planted, two oaks 4 years ago, and 9 Bradford pears before we moved here in '97. The leaves are turning brown and falling off much too soon in the year. In our area we still have dangerous grass fires.
Yesterday Ken and I went to Ardmore to visit Elizabeth's family. We had a good time. For a change, John got to be at home with the rest of us. Lewis was gone to his church Discovery Weekend for the middle schoolers and high schoolers. I am not sure of the numbers, but it seemed like there were at least 30 middle schoolers like Lewis, and 20+ high schoolers when we attended the youth and family commitment service. The whole bottom floor of the sanctuary was filled with the youth and all of the families. The youth had been there since Friday evening and will stay until 2pm today. Each family was asked to come to the altar with their child (grandchild) for a moment of prayer and to light a candle to be a light in the world. Lewis was very sweet and gave us hugs for being there. It was a surprise for him.
Elizabeth told me that many of you also wrote Lewis letters as I did. I am sure Lewis will open them sometime before the end of his weekend. This morning the youth will lead both of the worship services at FUMC, Ardmore.
Llew has shared that she has a new cast on her arm, but it will stay for longer than anticipated at first. She has become a left-handed computer operator without capitalization--well, who cares? At least she is able to function better with her new cast.
Take care. I know everyone is very busy. I go to work today to catalog and process videos and books. What fun! Of course I would rather be a home enjoying being with Ken, but that is not our real world, is it?
Hope you hear from you soon. Love, linsue
hi linda and everyone. today, i actually did some chores: let the duck wanda wak-wak out and rocked/shelled the area around her small pool to slow down her ability to make it into a mud bath pool, cleaned and filled the pool, cleaned up her cage and nest, and then completely managed my own shower and drying and then even fixed a simple hot lunch for vonnie instead of the recent frozen dinners. so life is picking up with this one working hand, and in mid september i get to start physical therapy to get it moving again. kristen and linda know what hoarders we both are, and as a result i had some tube socks from the 80's, which are now arm socks - very superiot to the ones the therapist gave me. so being hunter-gatherers when everyone else was cleaning out and paring down with fen sway paid off. we will get rain here on tuesday and wednesday, yea. for us, it has been hot this year also, but it's embarrasing to complain since our heat wave is in the high 70s and mid 80s. hi to all. love, llew
