I have been working off and on all day in one of my flower beds.. with a broken wrist, hot and dry summer, I had let some things just get ahead of me. I am hiring a cleanup crew for my north side of the house.. at some time or other, a little birdy left a present for me in the form of Poison Ivy.. which I am HIGHLY allergic to..

One of my friends who has a landscaping business hired some people who are not allergic and they will be here in the morning to take it out. They think they will be done in about 2 hours, so I think tomorrow afternoon or Saturday I will rent a power washer and clean my deck, house and outdoor furniture and then get busy next week staining and resealing my deck and repainting my metal furnature. Going to be busy the next few weeks  and I really need to keep busy right now to keep my mind off everything going on.

My brother in law is in serious/critical condition so we are not getting too far from home right now. He had a heart attack last week and the doctors say he has damage to about 80-85 percent of his heart! They cannot do open heart surgery on him right now.. maybe in the future, but it would be very risky so we are just praying for him to heal and be able to function. He had been having problems for awhile, but did not beleive in doctors, but he sure wishes he had had a checkup. Please keep him in prayer, his name is Andy.
