FAMILY NEWS

We still haven't had any rain to speak of...two five minute showers a couple of days ago. Things are really looking dry around town. Some folks were fortunate enough to get a little more rain than others and I'm sure that all the plants & trees are grateful for what little rain they got.

I'm hoping that Motherkitty is feeling better by now and today Brian told me that Reva has Pneumonia in one of her lungs and was given a shot and some antibiotics. I know that Reva hasn't been feeling well, and has had some trouble breathing lately and I'm glad that she is receiving some good medical care. Get well soon Reva.

Zac's dad is having surgery on Friday and we wish him well, and hope that he has a speedy recovery.

I think I am allergic to my computer room; for the last couple of days I get all congested and you would think, to hear me that I am suffering from a bad, bad summer cold. I actually thought that I might have caught something from all the little germy children I have been around lately, but just as soon as I go into my bedroom I get better. It's probably time to dust my computer room, don't you think? I probably have a bad case of dust bunnie-itis.

On a sad note...Jimmy's brother Butch has lost his dog Bailey. Bailey was a cute little black toy poodle who died within an hour from an apparent heart attack on Father's Day. Bailey was 12 years old and he will be missed by everyone in the family, as he was a very affectionate little doggy who never met a stranger. Bailey has gone to join our little princess PJ in doggy heaven.

Sharon's little dog Rafael was attacked by a pack of dogs sometime late Sunday night and was found lying on their deck unable to move on Monday morning, with many puncture wounds in its little body. We are all praying for a safe and speedy recovery for Rafael. On the same night, Brian & Reva's little cat SIMBA suffered a broken leg. Both incidents may be related to the same pack of dogs and the dog catcher should be notified because this is not the first time this pack has attacked. Rusty almost died and had to have extensive surgery & hospitalization to save its life a few months ago. Brian & Sharon both witnessed the attack on Rusty, in their own yard. If not reported...next time it could be a child or an adult who gets attacked!

Today was a pleasant day, weather wise, so Jimmy & I decided to go visit Rachel but she wasn't home. She was out gallivanting with her Sunday School Class, "Expounding from the Pulpit," and having all kinds of fun, hehehe. Rachel's yard looked lovely and green as she received a FULL DAY, of steady rain. Standing behind the pulpit is apparently paying off for Rachel...hmmm.
