    Well, Barbara, hope you are having a great time camping and are cool. It is still hot up here. We are about 40 miles north of the Golden Gate. Just 8 miles south of Santa Rosa. We have a 27 foot trailer that is roomy for the two of us. Four can fit but we only have one bed big enough for two adults. We don't get to see our grandkids much. Three of the boys live in Sacramento-2 hours away, and the other three-2 boys and a girl- live here in Rohnert Park, but they are so busy and spend time with her parents that we rarely see them. Still waiting for that "blessing" we are supposed to get with grandkids, but I know God has that in control too. Will try to keep in touch and anxious to meet other Christian women on the site. I just get overwhelmed on these sites and get lost easily so then I give up and don't go on any more. So please pray that I can coninue with this and make friends as you say "for life". With all the medical things going on and the meds my mind is not all that sharp sometimes, I can forget eaily, and distracted. I really do not like that because I used to be able to keep everything in my head. My life coach says that the lack of memory and concetration comes from the fact that I have too much going on in my head. I am always aware of what my body is telling me, fighting the pain and tiredness, remembering to take the meds and which dose am I on this week, and just to be able to talk to someone about the illnesses I am facing, etc. So she says if I can get some of it off my mind then I would have a better memory and concentration. Get some rest this weekend adn enjoy the outdoors God has created. luv, debby
