Thank you Joyce.

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.

I'm sorry you had to postpone your trip, and will be praying you get some relief from all the health concerns you're experiencing. I'm glad you get time with James and that he's a real bright spot for you now.

Sorry to hear you won't be making the trip to Montana. I know that has to be very disappointing. It's so hard to have to wait for medical things too.
Enjoy your time with James

Continuing to pray for you Debby.
I am sorry about the trip to Great Falls, I know how much it means to you.
Enjoy your time with James. What a blessing to have him close by.

Ahh, Debby, so sorry you can't make that trip. I know that is very disappointing for you. Praying you get some relief with your pain and discomfort.

I know you are disappointed about the trip. Could you send Amber a plane ticket and have her visit you for a few days?
I know James will make you feel better. He is so loved by all.
And I am very sorry you are still in pain and discomfort. Praying.

You must make some good onion dip if you're always asked to bring it! Thoughts & prayers for your health & upcoming procedure.

Thank you. I use yogurt and sour cream.
I appreciate you stopping over. I appreciate your prayers.
