Thank you Joyce.

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.

Lately I think any of my dreams and goals are just making me feel sad because I can't do any of them right now. I wish I could say I'm making lemonade with all the lemons life is handing me but I think I'm just letting the lemons sit there...lol
Sounds like a lot of fun with James. He looks cute in that cowboy hat.

Always enjoy hearing about your visits with sweet James, and although tiring, being with him must also be a boost.

I do like lemon - but not lemonade. I am sorry you are suffering and it is affecting your life so much. I do know when you write about James you are so happy. I am glad you have him.

Cute pics of James. How did you like the movie?

I really do try to make lemonade out of the lemons that come my way but it is difficult sometimes. Life can be a challenge.
Love the photos of James in his grandpa's hat and on the saddle. Great pictures.
Continued prayers for you

Hi Debby,
Do you have a lemon tree?
I like fresh lemon in water too. :-)
Thank you for sharing James with us.
Love seeing his smile.
Continuing to pray for you.

Hi Debby, I am glad you got to go to the movies with James. Did you go to Starlight? I like the reclining seat there. I plan to go to Trader Joes on Friday after having lunch with friends at Miguels. I sure miss eating lettuce these days! Stay cool this week!

I don't buy the real thing, but enjoy putting a squirt of lemon juice in my water every day.
James looks so handsome in that hat. It sounds like he and Mark are best buds.
