The heat and muggy weather is back.   My thermometer on the deck is showing over 90.   I am glad that, though I was out a good part of the day, I was able to be in air conditioning most of the time.

As it is Monday, my first scheduled event was the Blessed Trinity Bible Study.  Almost everybody was there, we were missing one of our Helens.    Always worry when we don't hear but will assume she is just fine and pray for her anyway.  We have finished the last of the Psalms that we will be discussing in this study.   There are two more lessons that bring us to the New Testament to wrap up the series.  0----y7uuuuuuuuuuu]'[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[677  The last part is a message from Roxie.   If you understand it, please let me know the translation.

I went to Mom's next.    She said that she felt weak, but we had good visit and got all her business taken care of.  She is reading my book and said that she is enjoying memories that are in the book.   This makes me happy.

I went right from there to The Exchange Bank to meet my friend Peggy for lunch before Writer's Club.  Kate joined us too.   That was nice, as Peggy's doctor appointment took longer than she thought.   She got there in time to have lunch anyway and we walked over to the club meeting at Book Heads.    Kate didn't come.   Right now she is doing her lawn and her house. 

We had a nice meeting.   Most of had done the "assignment" of making a poem of random words for this month.  The words were:  star, fireworks, gaze, chocolate, flag, fireflies, peony, work.

Here is my poem:

EYE CANDY FOR THE 4TH OF JULY

I gaze skyward into the chocolate vastness of space
above the flag waving bravely.
Fantastic fireworks rival the stars.
Vibrant peonies provide bleachers for ants
who take time from their work
to enjoy the spectacle above them.
 Closer to the ground
we are rewarded with another show,
as fireflies randomly light up the lawn.

Hope you enjoy.

Until tomorrow.
