John in Ocala

John flew to Ocala, Florida today to attend a conference regarding the new fire truck that is to be built. He will be flying back tomorrow. Miss you John. Hurry back home. Cooler weather visited us today.... a whopping 84 degrees; but it was nice and we enjoyed it. My cousin's husband who underwent a quadruple by-pass is doing well and is expected to go home in a day or two. Thanks so much for all the prayers. My sister Annie and I went to see the movie Public Enemies tonight as she is an avid Johnny Depp fan. It was full of shooting action and bank robberies. Depp played his part well.

Long Day Again

Woke up a little before 5 and couldn't go back to sleep. When I got home I moved some sod so I could put in a flower bed in the corner of the back yard. After that I got ready for work. The mall from 11a-9p. Always makes for a long day when I get up that early and no nap. Waiting on Bridget with my supper.

Long Day

Got up a little before 8 and had breakfast. Surfed the web and FB, read emails and other computer stuff.

Then the painting will begin. Worked the mall 3-11, going to bed.

Prayer Request

Started out at the mall working 8-3, usual day. Bridget's cousin Teri's husband was admitted to the hospital on Tuesday. He thought he had indigestion and after three days of antacids and continuing indigestion he went to the after hours clinic where they promptly sent him for a stress test. After a few minutes on the treadmill, the test had to be stopped because he could not breathe. On Wednesday the doctor performed a heart cath which indicated all arteries were 90% blocked. The doctors said they had never seen such extensive blockage on someone so young. He is only 39 years old. Today he underwent a quadruple by-pass and is doing well. The doctors also found evidence that he had had a heart attack some time in the past. Please pray for a speedy recovery.
