We have word that my dear cousin in San Antonio, Robbie Dell Read had a seisure last Wednesday and went into cardiac arrest. She was revived and has been in intensive care in San Antonio. The doctors did not give much home for her recovery and then, yesterday, they removed her breating tube and she smiled. This morning, she has mouthed "i love you" to her daughter and is responding to simple commands. The Lord does work in mysterious ways and Praise God for her progress. Keep Betty and Robbie Dell in our prayers for a quick and thorough recovery.
We have the Ogden Park Mid City Challenge going on this week with a culmination on Saturday. Our Annual Crawfish Boil is scheduled for Friday evening and it'll be a big time in the hood. The party will be over at Roger James and is always a good time to visit and play with fun and interesting people. I don't think Irene and Lucky will be able to go there.
Pulled up acres of spent sweet peas yesterday morning and I do believe that their roots go to China. Making all sorts of progress in the back yard and got the Icicle rose and the Madame Swartz planted next to Don Juan. Have some heirloom tomatoes and my Better Girls are fruiting. The citrus trees have ruby red grapefruits, tons of meyer lemons and some blood oranges on them. It's a slow year for the avocado so we'll see what next year brings.
YAY! Grapefruits! Lemons! ... and Maters! YUM!
