A Bit of an Update.

 A Bit of an Update.

 

Just for the record, took a TUB bath tonight for the first time in years. The tub has only been used for the dogs at least since 2022 and the last back surgery. Jenn had me watch a couple of YouTube tutorials on how to get out of the tub. It worked. Nice, hot soak with Epsom salt. Maybe one tomorrow night. We will see.

 

Carol Thonton has an arteriogram on Thursday. Please pray for her. She has had this more than once in the past six years. My guess is that the procedure is not any kind of fun. So glad her sister Donna is able to get her from one place to another.

 

Jennifer has been cooking today and now has a few days’ worth of topper stuff to put on the dogs’ kibble. She also cooked for us as well. SO nice to have meals handed to me! Hoping that the recovery from this procedure will be quick and relatively simple so that she can return home to her family soon. Love having her here, but she has quite the pile of responsibilities as mother, wife, and worker for the family company. Tomorrow, we have to change the sheets and mop the floors to settle the dadgummed dog hair around here. Such fun. Still have no idea what time we will have to be at the hospital on Tuesday. Oh well.

 

Granddaughter Rachel and her guy Damien got in this evening from Japan. Can hardly wait to hear the stories of what she has seen and heard. She was very impressed by the CLEAN roads or highways. Jenn reminded me that the country is so overpopulated that if only one percent of the folks dropped something on the ground, the country would be inundated with trash. Living here in Texas makes it very difficult to imagine not having space for turning around without bumping into your neighbor. We have elbow room! Even Edinburgh and Paris seemed crowded compared to Ft. Worth or Dallas.

 

Saw another video about the many nations in which Christians are being persecuted. Amazing and horrifying! But most of the persecution comes from Muslims—besides places like China and North Korea. So very sad. May God bless those who turn to Him.

 

Going to bed soon. Seems as if fatigue keeps pace with the old woman. Hoping that the naps Grandmother Pollard used to take every day will work out the same way for me as it did for her. No problems sleeping after a nap when age walks with us.

 

Keep those who mourn and those fighting cancer and other diseases in your prayers. Let us remember that only God can make the difference in this life and in the next one with Him.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
