THE RAIN!
WE've had quite a bit of rain the past while.
We need it so desperately!
So, it is great to see the rain!
And, I am thankful.

HOW CAN IT BE POSSIBLE?
I keep gaining weight.
I have totally quit snacking between meals.
Have cut out sugar.
Try to eat smaller meals.
And, yet, I AM GAINING WEIGHT.
It's very discouraging.

Friday Adventures
Then, at night we went to see the Drowsy Chaperone...Eli joined us; late but he came.

Also, I can't lose weight.
I just must be very sick in the head.

But, she had a very challenging life. Two bankruptcies, multiple moves, not a lot of money, but through it all, she maintained her indomitable spirit and faith.
She's a very strong faithful woman.
And, I was so inspired. How do women get to be so strong, in the face of adversity?!?!?!?!?
And, I complain over a friendship gone awry, which is still so painful for me.
But, I enjoyed talking with Brenda and learning a portion of her story.

WOW! What an incredible book. All based on truth. This is the story of a German U Boat sailor washed ashore in the Gulf of Mexico. I ...
