Good grief. July flew right by there without hardly a word from me! It actually flew right by me without my hardly noticing. Well, I did notice, with great enthusiasm, that a grandson was born back on July 6th. After that, nothing else in the month could compare! (Parker is doing great and is coming for a visit later today. His mommy's birthday is tomorrow. Gotta celebrate!) The beginning of July was busy and wonderful. The end of July was busy and busy. In between kind of slipped away.
This weekend the boys and I were supposed to go on our camping expedition. You know, the one where I was determined to find a nice, air conditioned cabin for us to "rough it" in. Instead of a cabin and fishing, we are home. Friday afternoon I had a run-in with a hole in our back yard. Which resulted in a trip to the ER. Which has resulted in me spending most of the weekend in the recliner, foot and ankle and knee up, watching the Olympics, taking an occasional pain pill, and not camping. Sigh. On the plus side, nothing is broken. I'm praying that a weekend of staying off of all things pertaining to my leg will result in not needing further testing or pain meds or anything. Enough of this darn medical stuff!
What I really need to do is take my camera out to the backyard, avoiding holes at all costs, and take some pictures of the pumpkin that has taken over. It is blocking one entrance to the patio area completely, which is why we've been using the other entry area, which is where the darn hole is! Anyhoo...... I will do my best to photo document that pumpkin plant. Despite the drought,this pumpkin, which decided to voluntarily grow beside the patio, has grown to hugely enormous proportions! I have never seen a pumpkin plant this large. There are oodles of pumpkins on it, but they are of the small variety. That's ok though. I'm already causing my feeble brain to have spasms thinking of what all I can do with ooodles and oooodles of pumpkins this fall!
So, I am alive and somewhat well, here in the River Hills. Surviving the drought and the extreme heat and invading pumpkin plants. I'm going to hobble over to Mom's in a while, for Candice's birthday celebration. I'll sit over there and hold our little miracle, Parker, and hopefully have some pictures and another post for you sooner, rather than later!
Should have known you couldn't go this long without having something go wrong. Hope you're better soon! Know that I'm praying and adding prayers for Bruce, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ReplyDeletePsalms 91:9-12 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
