Hi Karol,

Your backyard looks very peaceful and so pretty. It reminds me of northern Michigan. Lots of trees and nice shaded areas. We used to camp quite often up north when we were kids. And, that was always so much fun. All of us have fond memories of those camping times together with our parents. I had the most wonderful parents. I was just talking with a couple who both had very sad childhoods and it always makes me remember and appreciate my family. We weren't wealthy as far as money goes, but, we were wealthy in having the greatest parents and leaving us with such fond memories of those days gone by. My father died when he was only 58 and my mother lived to be 87. They were a great gift to me and I miss them yet today.

Our temps are forecast to be in the mid to high 90's this week. Whew!!! Friday morning, our air conditioner wouldn't come on. We both looked at each other and dreaded our day without air. So, Dave got on the phone to call for some help. I was standing at the kitchen sink and began praying that it would start working again. I took about 4 steps away from the sink and the air conditioner clicked back on. Prayer answered just like that. Isn't Our God an on-time-God??? So, Dave canceled the order to have someone come out to check it. And, it has been working ever since.

I just had to tell you about the answer to prayer. Love, Ruth
