COMMON GROUND COFFEE HOUSE #85

Good Morning all. It has been really, really raining here. But that is expected. The State Fair begins today


It usually rains during our State Fair. I haven't been to a State Fair in years. My mother used to enter some of her handwork and she would always win first prize. I have never entered anything in a state fair.

I'm trying to decide if I want to leave the house today.

I'll stop by later.

 

As you will see, I am doing a little housework these days. The hoover has its hands full, and we can sweep some of it under the rocks.

Oh, this is the opposite end of Sue's roof job.

Cheers,

Jim

 

When people ask me if I help my Wife with the housecleaning I reply "of course. Last night she mopped the floor with me."

hello there folks,

Only three radiation treatments to go!! WhooHooo!!!!
Then I guess they'll do a CT or another MRI to see if it worked. (Haven't been informed) Will see the Oncologist next week and I reckon we'll discuss it then.

Last night after church, my two angel-babies and two others were running around in the auditorium, after being told not to [GGRRR!] and Wesley ran into the corner of a pew and got himself his first "shiner".

Tony, I'm leaving some Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper if you'd like to try some. I like it.

 

Sue, It would be rather ironic (and expensive) if the original part they wouldn't refund for was the problem all along.

Wot was wrong with the old seatbelts..I mean the older model seatbelts,,a belt bolted to the frame? I guess they were too inexpensive!

Cheers,

Jim

 

Gayla, Good to hear your radiation treatments are almost over. Trust that all will go well with the future evaluation. You seem to be rather cheerful about the whole thing and that IS half the battle. God bless you.

Cheers,

Jim

 

Good Morning! Busy day ahead. I must go by the church to pickup music for the revival meeting.

Taking more paintings to the mall for sale. I been given more room to display and she would like for me to set up and paint some during the week. It seems that I sell more paintings when I am there.

Trying to please the public is fun, isn't it?

Some want the paintings framed. Some don't!
Some like the frame that I choose. Some don't!
Some, "oh could you paint this in a different color"?

I really admire people who can market just what people want!

 

Evening all:

I know I wasn't here as early as usual. We were awakened this morning to the sound of hail and thunder with LOTS of lightening and high winds. It sounded like a tornado, and Viv and I ran to the hallway where we closed all the doors to the hallway and sat with our flashlights and candles. The power went out and was out for three hours. It had stormed off and on all night, but nothing as bad as what we awoke to at 4:15am. We light a lot of candles after the storm passed and it warmed it up some inside and gave off enough light until just after daybreak.

It was supposed to only get to 82 here, but it's been over 90.

I would have been on earlier, but I had to go back to bed after we went to the dump, got groceries and got the mail. My ears were making me quite dizzy, and I'm starting again. If I don't come on the rest of the weekend, you'll know why.

Be good, be kind, be careful.

Why are we seeing indexes from last June?

 

Afternoon all:

Vivian and I had to go out and dig up some poles this morning out in the front yard by the road. The neighbor was kind enough to plow down all of the overgrowth and remove the fencing and that was a blessing. He's been a very good hearted neighbor and we do appreciate his doing these things without us asking. He's really been a big help! It only took us about 30 minutes to get the poles up. They were dug in pretty deep.

I am doing a bit better today. At least I've been able to get outside, a place I love to be, and do some yard work, a thing I love to do! God has been good to me.

Viv's making a bunch of danishes right now. I'm glad that she is. I like it when she bakes. She's a very good cook, though at times she is so unsure of herself in that area and afraid to try new things. She usually conquers all of the obstacles that come her way in cooking and even in other areas. She's a keeper, that's for sure!

Tomorrow I've got a meeting with the associate pastor and the pastor of the church. We are discussing how to take members so that we can start doing so. I was surprised that they put me on the panel considering that I requested that they wait on adding me as an associate pastor, too, until some of the ruckus from the previous church had blown over. It still hasn't. I signed over the ownership of the websites to the previous church but didn't email them the codes, etc., that I had in my possession. I don't have them anyhow. They were lost in the computer crash last week. Viv and I lost a lot of money signing over ownership to the church without them paying anything. Yet, they seemed unbothered by it. Oh, well, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. I believe it helped to make a permanent break from them and made me more able to serve at Faith.

If I'm not back on, the Lord bless and keep ya'll this weekend.

Be good, be kind, be careful.

Good Morning!!

Well, I've had eight of ten radiation treatments, and my back hasn't hurt at all today (Sunday) it didn't hurt much Fri or Sat either. I'm praying this is a good thing!!


tonight the choir was sing "I Am Redeemed" written by Phil Cross, and several of the men started shouting and raising their arms then the Preacher got up and took off running down the aisle. Had heard of that but never seen it before.
Then Wesley, who got his first shiner Wed after the service because he was running in the church and hit the pew looked at his daddy and said, "you're not supposed to do that in the church." (He's so precious!)
