The rose is doing quite well so far, thanks! We're waiting for a line of heavy storms to come through this area. "Derecho" from what they say - had one a year or two ago. Lots of wind damage.

I'm recovering from the respiratory infection, but the back has been acting up.

I was up in Aberdeen today with John-Man - interview for school. It was hot as Hades - no A/C in the building. When I got home our A/C was on the blink. It's just now cooling down.

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

"Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valour, and be in readiness for the conflict;
For it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar.
As the Will of God is in Heaven, even so let it be."
(1 Maccabees 3:58–60)

Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, among these who answered the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

No A/C? Is that common?

I heard you had heavy duty storming coming. Batten down the hatches! Be safe!
