1. Do your goals and dreams energize or exhaust you? Elaborate. 

Right now with the continuation of health issues my goals and dreams exhaust me. I can't do them.

2. July 23rd is national lemon day. Are you a fan of this flavor? What's a favorite dish or beverage you enjoy that calls for lemons? 

Yes I am a fan of lemon. I can't think of a dish but lemonade is good. However I don't have it very often but a squeeze of lemon is good in water. 

3. "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade"...is this something you're pretty good at managing? Have you had to do this recently? If so tell us about it. 

I'm trying to make lemonade but I'm not getting very far because of my issues. I do however work pretty hard at being joyful around Adam, Gabby and James. 

4. Something you love that is lemon yellow in color? 

We have a bedroom in the house that is lemon yellow in color. The furniture is yellow and one wall is painted yellow. 

5. How would you describe your attention to detail? 

Not as good as it use to be. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

We did have James here on Thursday night and then he was picked up from his aunt who was heading over to Adam and Gabby's on Friday night. 

We had a fun time with him. Mark was exhausted playing with him. We went to see Toy Story 5 with him on Friday and then went to Trader Joe's for a few things because it was near the theater we went to. 

James and Papa played forever with some Nerf guns that shoot Nerf darts. They were knocking down cards in our long hallway. 

He always likes sitting on Papa's saddle and wearing his cowboy hat.

1. "Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability." Sam Keen

Do you feel less guilty relaxing in July than you do in January? Elaborate. 

Being retired and having pretty much nice weather here in California throughout the year, I can't say that I do.

2. What's a telltale sign you're upset?

Lately I seem to cry when I'm upset, otherwise it would be slamming our bedroom door.😊

3. July 16th is National AI Day. What are your general thoughts and/or experiences with AI? Have you purposely used it? 

I have not used it at all. I am very concerned about the young children who are growing up with this. 

4. You're invited to a summer pot luck and are asked to bring an appetizer, salad/side, or dessert. Which category do you go for and what are you bringing? 

I usually bring an appetizer to Adam and Gabby's when they have a get together. They always want me to bring onion dip and chips. 

5. It wouldn't be summer without....

Our vegetable garden. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

We are picking up James on Thursday evening and he will be spending the night with us. Then we will be going to see Toy Story 5 on Friday. Then Mark will take him to his cousins house so he can have some time playing with them. His aunt will take him home over the weekend. 

Sadly, I have to say that we are not making the trip to Montana to see Amber and Dylan. I'm still not feeling well and each day is a challenge for me. I'm so upset about this but I can't see myself driving in the car for 3 days driving there and then not feeling well hanging with them. 

Sorry I haven't been around much to read blog posts. 

The procedure to help my legs through pain management isn't until mid-August. I am extremely frustrated. I can definitely use your prayers. Thank you.
