It's Another HOT ONE!

All I can say is, THANK GOODNESS FOR AIR CONDITIONING!

Yesterday (Sunday) I decided to venture out and go to church! It felt warm on the trip out of the house and into the car (which is also air conditioned). It was very pleasant to spend the afternoon with good people. Just plain nice to be anywhere but stuck at home. Don't get me wrong, I love my home, but anything gets old after too much of it.

When I came out of the church through the second set of doors to the outside, I was hit by a blast furnace of hot air!!! It was stifling. SO glad I could flip a switch and cool the inside of the car down in no-time flat. Drove home, changed clothes and headed up to Mom's because she made dinner for her crew...Gary and Becky and John, who spent the day re-building the retaining wall that got washed out by 6 inches of rain on Friday night!

After the wonderful roast beef dinner, we played a game called Joker. It is a lot like the old game "Sorry" we used to play as kids, except with cards. Mom had an ulterior motive...she wanted revenge for losing to Gary and Ralph last Tuesday when we played Sequence and got trounced by them. It was a close game of Joker, but the women won! Yay Girls!

Each day, I feel a bit better, less sore, and am slowly getting the kinks out of my left arm. I do little stretching exercises to get my muscles back into shape. One week to go before I see the oncologist. Then I'll find out what I'm really in for.

This morning I Skyped with my daughter and granddaughter. It is so fun to see them, as well as talk to them. Fiona throws me lots of kisses! She is so busy, though...her attention span on the screen is about 2 minutes, and then she is ready for the next activity. It makes my heart happy to be able to see her in motion, at least! Tacy is looking and doing well with her pregnancy. She is due in September. That is SO exciting!

I am still trying to figure out when I can work-in a trip out there to Utah. I want to see them, and I also would like to be there when my new granddaughter is born...we shall see.

For now, that's it!

Love you all!
