On The Porch

Today was the best day since 5/31/25. That Saturday morning, I was at work, my cell rang. I looked at it, it was Ma. She asked if I was home. I could tell by her response that I was at work that something was wrong. I asked her, she said suddenly she didn’t feel right. Her right arm and leg hurt and were “heavy” and she couldn’t pour herself a cup of coffee. I asked her if she was alone. She was. I told her to sit and I’d call her right back. I called my brother and he was working. I told him I’d call him right back. Get where he could talk to me. I called her, she said nothing had changed. I told her to hang up and call 911, which she did. I updated my brothers. The rest of the story is: she had a stroke, it was small, and only time would tell what her level of recovery would be. She was discharged 6/2 with home health.  Fast forward to today. Everything is pretty much back to normal. Dr Igbokwe was very, very pleased with her progress. He said he doesn’t need to see her again, ex...

It’s partly cloudy and warm. Thankfully, there’s a nice breeze though. It’s 85° at 7:35pm. Birds are singing still and plenty of daylight left. Kristen is picking green beans. She gathered tomatoes a little earlier.  We had church today at Miller Hill. It was a good service.  As I was typing that, a small rainbow appeared!  Summer is nice, but I could do without all this humidity!  But, it is what it is! No need to complain really, I can’t change it! Pray.  Pray for our community, county, state and country.  Pray for our leaders at all levels.  Pray they make smart decisions for the good of the people!  Pray for the sick and for those who have recently lost loved ones.  Pray for your pastor and his family.  Pray for your deacons and their families.  Just pray.  I love all y’all!❤️
