Sounds like a nice dayActually, it wasn't so bad in the shade until I was out for an hour. I have two tomato plants, looking sickly so I watered those myself. My friend, Pat, stopped by and we sat out there and chatted. When I came in, there was a message from another friend that she was stopping by. She just left. If I get more than one visit, it's usually on Thursday.
Praying for your success, Dave.
Shirley, the sun was indeed hot, but in the shade of the trees, there's was a breeze going. I still benefited from the sunshine.
Gail, how blessed are you to have a hubby who gardens and cooks.
In the summer I avoid direct exposure with our cancer history.
Praying for your needed rain, but hopefully no flash flooding
I expect you will feel better with that in place, Shirley
My day has been relaxing; we just got back from our walk and had our prayer time.
Hubby made his own spaghetti sauce today with his garden tomatoes, so we will be indulging in pasta tonight
Praise God for all His blessings
Blessed I AMPraying for your success, Dave.

That is awesome DaveYou will feel so much better over time!
Perhaps the $ you save can be spent on special celebrations out with your beloved Mary
I did not realize you smoked Dave....thumbsup for trying to quit.
Praying for your success, Dave.
We never know, what tomorrow has in store
but, we can have faith that it is to our 'profit'
~that we will not, be made bankrupt
Oh really ?
It is something, that I, have made no secret of [being a nicotine-addict ?]
The BIG 'thing', is that I no-longer need tobacco
and, I can now avoid it's harmful 'also-runs'
[tar, gases, metals, and toxic chemicals]
This plastic 'mock cigarette', engages and satisfies, all, of my 'habit'
and will 'cost' me, only @half, 'the spend' I made upon tobacco
now, that I own the 'hardware'
Do I wish I hadn't begun smoking ? Yes, of-course!
and as Gail mentions [above]
~there are, [and, have been] so-many better things, to spend that money upon
Thank you Ladies

I can imagine it has been (and still is) overwhelming, but things will get better ShirleyWe have a wireless alarm system installed...I will probably set off the alrm by mistake a few times before I really get the hang of living with it...but our neighbors are installing a system too. I plan to have my doors closed and armed while I am here everyday alone...I also have a small remote to keep at hand.
I am very tired and nervous...we had a down pour for about 40 minutes, thunder and lightning...at least the grown got sort of a drink.

Hi Shirley
I have been following posts above... and have awaited 'an opportunity'
to be able to add something 'useful', to the matter being discussed
Everything, that 'happens to us' [individually]
~everyone we meet
~everything we 'witness'
leaves it's impression upon us...
They 'adjust' our awareness ~teaches us lessons
We cannot 'NOT see them'
nor, can we 'disregard them'
It is in our nature... to adjust /adapt to changing circumstances
~to react /become ready..... to SURVIVE similar
We cannot help it, [?]
our reactions are 'instinctive' [pre-programmed]
The more experience we have 'laid-down'...
the more OPTIONS [possibilities, for answers] are then available, to us, for each circumstance
Example: if you have, 'a hole in the roof'
~then YOU KNOW
Rain, birds, vermin, other pests can get in... ~that Heat can get out
and, that it must be closed/ repaired....
You WILL... find the means to close /repair the 'vulnerability'
Yes, we ALWAYS become wiser... after an event
and, we ARE able to CHOOSE....
whether to, allow, or deny, any repeat of that event
Everything CHANGES.... and we .... ADAPT accordingly

My [personal] experience, of alarm systems [from past times in Bristol]
is that neighbours, tend to ignore alarms going-off in the area
ie: beyond, being annoyed by them
When our's went off [internal batteries went 'low']
they queued to complain [later]
BUT!!!... nobody, called police [to investigate]
Thanks to the dogs that we kept ['six' German Shepherds]
our's was one, of the two, or three houses in our street
[out of fifty [?] (many of those, were also alarmed)] that were, never burgled
The neighbourhood watch scheme, is,
the most practical weapon against such crime [nosey-neighbours, can be a boon]
It is, to everyone's advantage
~to look after each other's property in the absence of the neighbour
Report suspicious persons /behaviour.... far better to say sorry...than be sorry [?]
