Cheesecake.

 Cheesecake.

 

Ummm. Nothing like cheesecake. Patty got a couple of those little Philly cheesecakes that come in plastic tubs—tiny bites with graham crackers to spill across the top. Those things are just enough to make a person long for a GOOD piece of cheesecake! Anyway, we now have a full-sized cheesecake to share. Even had a can of blueberry pie filling to dab on each piece! Took Patty some in a container this morning along with a small container of my latest macaroni invention with cauliflower, cheese, sour cream, butter, 4-cheese Alfredo sauce, black olives, and canned chicken breast. Forgot to tell her to add salt and pepper, but she did and was happy with it. Sometimes these little gastronomic experiments work out just fine.

 

Saw a comment from Maggie Sewell that makes me think she is mighty sore while she is trying to heal up a bit from having shoulder replacement surgery. Dadgum! Years ago, this kind of thing would have been a permanent disability. At least she has a pretty good chance of having full use of that side again. She will still need our prayers, however.

 

Sterling is still one miserable old man with his danged shingles. He simply can’t get easy and can’t sleep either. He tries, and he does go to sleep, but wakes up hurting just the same. At least Jacqui seems to be doing fairly well after her surgery on her arm and hand. Don’t think either one of them should be driving right now, so am hoping that one of the family is doing the meal shopping for them. May God bless them.

 

We had THUNDER today. A bit of wind blew, but all we could really do was enjoy the smell and a bit of cloud cover. Everything out there is still as dry as dust and as brown as year-old corral droppings. May God remember us.

 

Have not looked for any local news, but sit here hoping that all has gone well with the bike race here in WF today. Seems Rider won the game last night with Old High. They apparently had a fly-over by some planes. Not sure how that got set up, but now Hirschi High wants one, too. Whatever makes folks happy.

 

It seems the ocean is hotter than it should be by more than a few degrees, so now the tropical storms are turning into hurricanes. This is usually the only way we get any decent rain in this part of Texas when the hurricanes start coming in off the Gulf. Sorry for those who live in the path of those storms, but we are getting more than a little bit desperate for rain. The ground has cracked open wide enough to separate hills from mountains in our part of the world! Wouldn’t be a bit surprised if the Wichita River just went underground to meet the Red somewhere south of Texas!

 

Used a gem-dandy light that Michelle Malay gave me for reading books at night to see to put things together when doing my new furniture. Would it surprise any of you older folks to realize that a light makes it easier to see things even in the daylight? Wonder if God gave us His Light to help us see the reality of what rebellion did to His perfect world.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
