Day 158 - June 7, 2011

Bridget trying to get cool.

As you saw the on June 6th, our house has been rather hot due to the fact that that the AC at my house been out.  Bridget and I have been about to roast!  I pulled out several fans and borrowed a window unit from a friend to try to stay cool.  We spent the night with my neighbor one or two nights in order to get some sleep.  Here's Bridget with her double coat of fur lying in front of the fan trying to stay cool--poor baby!  I was just before trimming her down when we got the AC fixed.

Day 157 - June 6, 2011

The temp in my house!

Needless to say, by the temp on the thermostat my AC was broke and I was roasting!  I had a huge leak in my A-coil, so my unit was down for several days until my boyfriend could come down to work on it (he lives 100 miles away and was dealing with back and foot problems).  Once he came down, he found the leak and repaired it, cleaned the outside and inside coils and it's working beautifully again!

Note:  My AC didn't get fixed until Friday & Saturday, June 10 & 11, which is why I am so behind on posting pictures.  I was busy trying to borrow fans and finally was able to borrow a window unit.  I also spendt the night with friends because the heat in my house was just too much.  It may take me a night or two to get caught up with posting and visiting everyone's blog, but I should see each of you soon.

I got to keep my cute little granddaughter for the morning while my daughter took some time for herself.  Unfortunately, my air conditioner is on the blink and me and this little lady started to get very hot.  I pulled in a couple of fans that I keep in the garage to try to keep us as cool as possible. Even though it was hot, we got in our usual photo shoot.  I would love to try a few poses with her but I think she is teething, not to mention it was about 87 degrees in my house, so she wasn't too cooperative as a model. She also wants to stand up at 3 months old.  She can't even sit up on her on yet or even crawl, but she keeps trying to push up on those legs.  She is going to be running around before we can even blink!

Day 155 - June 4

yellow crookneck squash plant

This will produce something scrumptious to eat (or it would have--most of my plants have died in this extreme heat).

Day 153 - June 2, 2011

This past 6 months have been mentally, emotionally and spiritually difficult.  But although they have been difficult, God has used this time to bring me to a place of healing.  The wounds were deep, and there were times when I didn't think I would make it, but God never left me.  He binds up the broken hearted and heals their wounds.

Just a couple of weeks ago I noticed that my church was offering two Beth Moore bible studies.  Well, I knew that I couldn't participate in both of them, even though I wanted to.  I chose "Breaking Free."  I have heard so much about this study, and Lori, the leader of the other study ("David") told me, "girl, if you've never done Breaking Free, you need to do it."  So,  . . .

Here goes . . . I'm BREAKING FREE!

Today is a cheat day, I'm afraid.  I was busy at work all day today and then, I came home to check the AC (which was not working yesterday), let the dog out, change into jeans, and head to the hospital.  My ex-husband, whom I am still friends with, is have triple to quintuple by-pass surgery tomorrow.  So, taking a pic just totally slipped my mind until I got ready to go to bed.  So, I hope this will do for today.

Tomorrow will be another long day.  Dave has surgery tomorrow, I am supposed to take minutes for a Board meeting (although I do have someone on standby in case I need to head to the hospital), and I have the first meeting of my summer Beth Moore Bible Study called Breaking Free.  I don't know--it might be a little much for one day.  I promise to try to take a pic of something tomorrow.  And, who knows, maybe I'll find something to take a photo of besides a flower.  :-)

Please say a prayer for Dave Kirkland, and continue to remember my mother in your prayers.  Thanks - goodnight!
