A little cooler today, but it is still uncomfortable.

The heat has returned this summer. Last year the heat was reasonable. Rain also has been missing the past week, and due to the heat, some of the plants are starting to hurt--just a little.

I thought I had pink eye (conjunctivitis), but after seeing a physician and Dr Frier OD, for a check up, it turns out to be an allergy to something in the air. Great, a whole bunch of yellow drainage. Even my eyeball is sore. It is not bad, but noticeable. I heard about Zaditor eye drops and may try them.

Josh has been holding up in the heat fairly well. This is an answer to prayer. I can get out of the heat and have when I overheat, stop sweating, get dizzy, but Josh cannot. God has been very good. Josh goes out every Saturday to the Eldo park to preach and pass out tracts.

Wilbur's fireworks show was June 15. I didn't go, but those of the family who did really liked it. I hope Elon posts some of his super, duper pictures of the fireworks.

Anna is getting married on 2 October 2010 to Theogene Nishimwe. We are all very blessed to have Theo in the family.

Ezra is busy, nothing special.

Elon's and Ezra's garden is wonderful. We've been eating a lot from it. Now we are eating realy nice squash and asparagus beans (some of which are well over 12 inches long).

My tomatoes are about 4 inches in diameter; the potatoes are ready, so are the onions.

LaSara is busy with the chickens, cats, cooking, helping Anna find a wedding dress, etc. She sure has some wonderful stories. I hope she publishes some.

Vicky is good. I pray she could sleep better and get more sleep.

Talked to Luke and Mark a while back. It sure was good to hear there voices.

Our friend Paul can drive again. The doctor OK'd everything for him. Lester is still in a lot of pain, so we continue to pray.

We are still meeting in a rented old church house. We are praying for God's direction.

I was helping Nathan with preaching chores and spoke on Proverbs. Cheers.

I had an interesting day. I woke up and ate. The nap was ruined by the phone call from some salesman, then the part I ordered for my mower deck came (ordered Thursday and came Monday--super), then it was different enough, I had to go to Ehler's and buy some bolts. After that was repaired, I wanted to replace the blades, but they were round hole instead of star hole, I bought those from Wisconsin. OK I then put the old blades back on, place the deck under the mower, but it won't go. Elon to the rescue. After 20 min or so, it was in place. I started mowing; everything is ok until I get stuck in a hole. Elon to the rescue again, but I burned my hand in the process. I found some gloves, then we got the mower out of the hole. I started mowing again. Everything was fine until I was as far as I can get from home and run out of gas. I drag myself up to the house and hoping the 5 gallon gas tank is only 1/2 full--nope it is full, all 5 gallons worth. I lug that to the mower, fill it up, and nearly 4 hours later, I finish only MOST of the mowing. Thank you Lord. Now for the Aleve and bed. Cheers
