Where does the time go?

What a crazy couple weeks!  Of course, being gone and coming home and getting sick have made things all pile up.  I am knee deep in cucumbers and tomatoes, which is a good thing.  You can see by the header the hot temperatures and high winds have dried the corn out badly.   I was all set for a grateful post about good health on Monday and it's Friday already.  Wow!   So................................

I have been fortunate since retirement to not be exposed to the daily germs of working with the public.  Although I've never been a sickly person, I think I caught my fair share of the common bugs each year.  I haven't been sick for quite sometime.  I'm not sure what I picked up between FL and SD, but it layed me pretty low for longer than usual.  I spent a few days acting like it was nothing and trying to get things done.  Finally I slept most of Saturday and Sunday and was a new person by Tuesday.  I think I need to have this happen to remind me how blessed I am with good health.   I also need to renew my prayers for those that struggle daily to live their lives while living with illness or fighting illness.

Rocco is feeling better today.  I won't go into great detail, but it was a traumatic day for all of us on Wednesday.  As I said before it could have been much worse.  Time will tell how things turn out, but I know Rocco can live a wonderful life with one eye too.  He is doing well with his medications and resting alot.  He is of course pretty timid right now.  Michelle doesn't have to work this week-end, so she's coming home for the long week-end.   That will make Rocco feel better and all of us too.

Have you been over to Kaaren's for the First Friday Freebie this morning?  She has given us a wonderful pattern for a fall wall hanging.  It is so cute!  Fall is on it's way.  It was 44 degrees here this morning.  Just a taste of what's to come.  After the hot, dry, windy days of last week it felt rather good, but I'm not looking forward to a steady diet of it.

Just a quick post right now................I hope to have more time later to catch up with you all.  Thanks for all your prayers and support for Rocco and us!!  It has helped so much.  Hugs   Janet
