On the breakfast plate . . .

No breakfast....  we had early  dental appointments

The To Do List . . .

• dental Appointment/ lunch out
• I still need to collect some clothing  that will be too large next summer... everything I try on  is  too big!!   I like ti!!
• Fill our  Christmas  Child Boxes  to  take to church
• Meet the Director of Straight Street  this week to  finish up my mission committee work for  this year,... I will be delivering  several   boxes of  Pull-ups and wipes to the center..Thereafter,    my time  at  my  church will be  over,  my duty fulfilled... Im  sad to leave the people,  but the manner in which this church operates is not biblical and  it causes  too many  situations.. Plus,  now  without a pastor the church has cancelled all ongoing   activities  until  a new pastor  comes.. That could take   a couple of years...  At my age age,  I need a church that is functioning   where I can be involved.
• Allergy shot/  then off to Bible Study
• Dinner out later in the week

On the menu . . 

Monday -chef salad

Tuesday -chicken veggies stir fry and rice

Wednesday -sandwiches and  veggie sticks

Thursday-breakfast for dinner

On my reading pile . . . 

I need to start a new book...  No idea what at this time!

Something fun to share . . .

Well, I will the to say I thoroughly enjoyed  a Turkish series on Netflix, called Intersection.. There are  English subtitles,  but  I readily got used to those..the cast is awesome, the story is  so dramatic and compelling. It is 3  seasons and  13  episodes each except the last  season only had 5.  Many twists and turns  and  I was completely  hooked on it..  but  each  episode is  over 2 hours in length so   it does take a while to watch,.  but if you have the time, I highly recommend it!!!*****

Date Night::

We enjoyed lunch out  yesterday with  friends.. Of course we  usually do join them on Sundays' after church..  I am hoping we can visit  some churches together in the coming weeks... I am praying  that we might continue in our new church with this couple.. they re so very dear to us!!!  Yesterday  we  dined a t  Cafe Asia...  My,  I do think they are the best in the city!!

In the Garden . . .  The cooler temps and the rain are making the rose garden look much better these days..see photos below!

Camera. . .    

This is my gorgeous pink  climbing rose I planted in the obelisk. It actually has two roses  blooming..   

I think the pink    rose is a Lucious color!!!

The yellow is sweet, even though the  petal formation is not quite  as  full and    beautiful.

The   think the  garden is looking  better with the change of the weather!

The Angel Wing Begonia   is  so vibrant, the leaves so shiny.. As hot as it has been   it has actually been a good year for it!!

It was an exceptional year for my basil...  first season ever I could  keep  it alive through the summer!!!

Lynn spent Friday  and Saturday painting the fence! 

Prayer:. . .

Crisis in Afghanistan and the Middle East, influx of illegals into

 our nation, crisis in Haiti, and everywhere that persecution is taking

 place...

Pray for the upcoming  elections...  Pray for godly  leaders who   really care about

their constituents and  govern  fairly and  according to our Constitution!  
Our government leaders to seek God, and for the fear of the 

Lord to spread among all people.

For healing of the sick, salvation of the lost, deliverance for 

the hurting,  Personal: situations, Prodigal children to return 

to their roots and be spiritually healed, Churches to arise, 

against ungodly moves of government to infringe on godly practices

... protect our children from the ungodly teachings and protect them

 from ungodly people who wish them harm for their own purposes. 

Pray for organizations that are doing good in the communities, 

CrisisPregnancy Centers, Straight Street, Street Ransome, 

Salvation Army, Rescue Missions, etc!  Starting next week

  I am focusing  much more on the upcoming elections.
