Monday Coffee Talk

 Where in the world do the days go, you blink your eyes and a week or two has gone by.  Is that because I'm retired?  If I remember correctly when I worked the weekdays dragged and the weekends sped by.

Anyways, It's Monday, come on in and have a cup of coffee or hot tea or whatever your pleasure.

We did make it to Jason and Hannah's engagement party a few Mondays ago and enjoyed it so much.  It was great to see family and some old friends.   After a while of visiting and eating most of the young adults headed outside to the pool.  Mr D and I stayed in where it was cool, I didn't want to take a chance of falling.  I was still on a walker and maneuvering around so many people is awkward.

We made some more precious memories♥

I had my appointment with the surgeon and good news! He told me I could trade the walker for a cane.  That was exciting, but I've found using a cane properly isn't as easy as one would think. Fact is I've tripped a couple of times, but I didn't fall - needless to say I put the cane up for a while.  I've been doing okay walking on my own as long as there is something nearby for me to hold on to. It's been 3 1/2  months since my surgery and most of the soreness is gone, I do have some minimal pain if I move in a certain way, The doctor told me right after surgery it would take 4 to 6 months for complete healing, looking like he's going to be right!!

Tea Time:

This is the best tea!

Cinnamon Spice from The Tea Spot.   They have several flavors that I would like to try.  My problem is I don't drink a lot of hot tea, one package will last me a while.

Fun Bible Fact:

 Paul preached so long that Eutychus was overcome with sleep and fell from a third story window! 

(Acts 20:9).

Walking With Russ:

On Rusty's walk the other day he passed by the old train depot.  At one time it was on Main Street, the train would bring people from Houston to La Porte where they would visit Sylvan Beach.  The Heritage Society moved it closer to Sylvan Beach and did some restoration on the old building.  It's now a small museum operated by the Heritage Society.

Today's Quote:

From George Washington and appropriate for today's political realm.

The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of                                                  order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.                                            Inaugural Address 1789

Hurricane Beryl:

She came and blew us around, now she's gone, and we have a big mess.  Lots of trees and fences down throughout our little town.  Unfortunately, some trees fell on homes, my heart hurts for the families that got so much damage.  I'm writing this on July 12th, as of today much of the area is still without power, the heat is terrible.  The city has opened 2 cooling centers for those who want to go and cool off.  I am thanking the Good Lord, we were without power for only 10 hours.  We lost a lot of shingles from the roof and feel a new roof will be necessary, we're waiting on the insurance adjuster to see what he says.  Can you believe the storm ripped the gate from our fence and left the fence standing, the hinge was crumpled like a piece of aluminum foil. 

Two trees went down across the street but fell in such a way no house were damaged.

Today's Scripture: 

Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power and the glory, the victory and the majesty; For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and You are exalted as head over all.

1 Chronicles 29:11

Amen
