It is still hot and will remain that way for the next few days.   It is, after all, August in Oklahoma.    Dan, my lawn mower, came this afternoon to mow.   I asked him is he was really sure he should because it is so hot, but he was determined.     His wife used to help him, but she had back surgery so can't.    We visit while Dan does the mowing.    They are a wonderful couple.

The rest of the day was quiet.    I did quite a bit of sewing and just took care of Nicky.   He is back to his pre relapse state again.   Quite perky and eating with enthusiasm.    I am so pleased.

Keep praying for our Leslie.

It was 103 degrees today.

A good and a bad day.    Nicky had to go to the vet because he wouldn't eat this morning and I couldn't give him his insulin.  (Other things involved)

It would be my and Dick's anniversary today.   Bobbie sent roses .   A very good thing.   I smiled the rest of the day.

Went to my Celtic Club meeting this afternoon.   We had a great time.    I will not be here next month and they still want to meet.   YEA.

Leslie is still in need of prayers.   Please pray.

It was in the mid 90s again today.    Won't last too much longer though

Please all pray for Leslie.    She is a very sick girl.

I went to Bible Study this morning.    We are still studying Isaiah.    Lots of discussion on THAT book.    Ever heard of the Suffering Servant or Lambs Being Led to Slaughter.   All in Isaiah.

Home again, I worked on the quilt I am hand quilting on the rack.   I am determined to finish soon and will never hand quilt another one again:)

Today is Barbara's birthday, so I took her and Bart and Marlies out to dinner to celebrate.  We went to a seafood place called Seafood Party.   I had shrimp and fries.    Very good.

Until tomorrow.

We had some welcome rain this morning.   Not enough but enough to make us feel good.    The temperatures were in the middle 90s, 10 degrees below what we have been experiencing.    This won't last long but a couple days is a relief and we even have a minor chance of some more rain.

Bart stopped by today as he was out on errands.   I am always glad when he does that.    I have someone to talk to and in the house.    He is a good kid.

Nicky's appetite is finally back so I am trying to figure out how much food he got before so that he can around out his ribs again.   Poor little guy,   I keep telling him not to lick his swellings from the steroids.    I have to put gel on them and he keeps trying to lick it off.   I put a cone on this morning  to try to keep him from licking for a while to let it soak in a bit.

He has not forgiven me yet:)

(He really was very upset and avoided me most of the day.)

Going to Writer's Club soon.

Just got back home from Quilt Guild.  We had good snacks tonight, Glad I didn't eat dinner.
The meeting went well and we had lots of Drag and Brag.    Some really beautiful items.   Then we played a dice game for fat quarters.     We each brought 5 and I ended up bringing four different ones home with me.    So lots of fun.

The rest of the day was at home.    I rested and sewed.

An eventful Sunday.    Mass and coffee with friends at church this morning.

Then I got a call from Dick and Brenda, fresh from their trip to Ireland for Dick's Birthday.

Then Bart aad Barb and Marlies came over for a chili supper with garlic bread tonight.    I feel so good to have had so many people in my live today:)

Nicky is doing quiet well.
