Bounty

I just received some yummy veggies from Jeanine’s garden.  They are beautiful.  It amazes me the bounty received from the small plants I saw over Memorial Day weekend.  I am excited to try the lemon cucumbers as I have heard they are delicious!  I am still hoping to have my own garden next year.  There are always variables when trying to plan – all will come together as it is meant to.

The temperature has finally come down into the mid-80s ~ much better for sleeping.  I started to whine about the temperature the other day; then realized how thankful I am to live in an area that has four distinct seasons.  True blessings!

Volunteering

This weekend I filled in doing the computer data inputting at our church’s food pantry which is one of the ‘branches’ in the city under 2^nd Harvest Food Bank.  It is always such a blessing to be able to volunteer there.  It has been a help to me in the past when my daughter was little.  We volunteered for many years and received help as needed.  Anytime a person can give back to help others is a wonderful endeavor.

Hot July

Independence Day was full of family fun.  It was also our family reunion and we had a wonderful time.  The weather has been extremely hot over the last week and a half both here and in Oregon where we had the reunion.

I haven't started a new Bible study yet.  I am currently reading some Agatha Christie books -- what an amazing writer.  I love her mysteries :-)

My daughter is continuing her search for a full-time professional job.  She and her husband recently moved and are closer to Church and his jobs.  I am proud of them both as they continue to set goals and follow God's leading.

My heart is filled with thanksgiving -- thank you Heavenly Father!
