Happy 4th of July from Us & Old Barbecue Grill
I think I mentioned on this blog before that Lee is really into the environment. I love that he is into the environment and recycling, Yet, I have had this barbecue grill since before we met - over 12 years and he doesn’t want to get a new one, even though it barely works.WILL SOMEONE PLEASE BRING ME A GRILL SO I CAN PUT THIS ONE OUT OF ITS MISERY?
I think it actually looks better in the picture than it does in person. In person it is actually an eyesore and friends laugh about it.
Happy 4th Everyone!

Bible verse Jeremiah 1:5-10 - so powerful
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
And before you were born I consecrated you;
I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
Then I said, “Alas, Lord GOD!
Behold, I do not know how to speak,
Because I am a youth.”
But the LORD said to me,
“Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’
Because everywhere I send you, you shall go,
And all that I command you, you shall speak.
“Do not be afraid of them,
For I am with you to deliver you,” declares the LORD.
Then the LORD stretched out His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me,
“Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
“See, I have appointed you this day over the nations and over the kingdoms,
To pluck up and to break down,
To destroy and to overthrow,
To build and to plant.”
God couldn’t have given me more meaningful words today. Blessings to you all!

How can I have a child if I can’t stand going to the doctor myself?
I am the worst patient and I squirm in the chair like an eight year old boy the moment anyone goes to examine anything important particularly sensitive my eyes, my ears and even my teeth. I wish I was a better patient. I mean I try, but I am so scared that I am going to die or like today, be worse off (lose my hearing). Today, I went to see an otolaryngologist for my itchy ear. An otalaryngologist is an eyes, ears and throat specialist. Why aren’t there just ear doctors anymore? It took me about ten minutes to find the right specialist on the GHI website because I wasn’t sure what the official name for an ear doctor was. Then I called five different offices in my plan because either the doctor was no longer working there, took the whole summer off or wasn’t in today. There was only one female otolaryngologist in my area, but she wasn’t in for the week.
While I waited in the doctor’s office, I asked God to help me because I was scared. I didn’t think I was going to die, but I was so afraid that the doctor was going to hit my eardrum. I know he is a very experienced man in his 60’s, but accidents can happen, right? Finally it was my turn to go in the office. I sat there awhile while I waited for the doctor to finish with a patient in another room. As I sat there I just kept calling out to God - even God was tired of my crying. So the kind doctor came in, examined and then cleared my ear. I squirmed and moved away from him unintentionally. I just couldn’t take the sound or movement. I’m sure he couldn’t wait until I left.
But I am glad I went because my ear feels better.
So now I am wondering - how can I have a child and bring the child to the doctor if I can’t stand going myself?

Our trip to Pier 1
Lee wanted to get new bowls. He is very particular about the shape of a bowl and has been expressing his lack of love for our current set. Last year, he didn’t like our bowls so he decided to go to the 99 Cents store and purchase us new ones. After microwaving something in one of his 99 Cent specials and seeing the bowl take on a whole new shape, I threw out the four bowls. They were white with a green stripe and not being microwaveable gave me an excuse to get rid of them. When Lee looked for the bowls, I would give excuses (they were in use, someone took them home with some food, etc.) Finally, one day he said, “You threw out those bowl.” I tried to keep a straight face, but he caught me off guard and I laughed. A lot.
So a few weeks ago, we decided we would pick out bowls that we both liked. We have been to several stores and didn’t find any bowls that we bowl liked. When we went to Pier 1 today, we found plenty of bowls which we both liked. We bought four of these bowls (not the plates or mugs though).
In the sale section of the store, we found the Pier 1 Four Seasons plate and stand which I have loved for two years. Yes, two years! I haven’t bought it because it was $75.00 and I thought that was a bit too pricey for a decorative plate. It’s also very large (16 inch diameter) But today it was on sale for 1/2 off. I knew I had to get it. Lee wasn’t too crazy about getting it because we don’t have room. So before we walked away from it, I covered it with a few items. Lee walked back over to see the plate and he saw that I tried to hide it with other things. He laughed so loud in the store that a saleswoman came over and asked us if we needed help. Lee said, “No, I was just thinking of buying this beautiful plate.” Lee reasoned out loud that I would come back to buy the plate and that would use gas. Then I would have to put the plate “in hiding” and he said the plate was too pretty to be in hiding. Yes, he knows I have some items for the new house in hiding. LOL
