If you have been paying attention to the weather forecast this week you will already know that Michigan has been in what we call "the dog days of summer."  It is hard for me.  I cannot take warm weather.  We do not have air conditioning.  The fans have been going all week.  Even with all of that the house has been 92 (inside) for most of the week.  It is only for a few shorts hours during the middle of the night that it has been cool enough to sleep.  Lots of liquids! 

Today is different!  The humidity has gone down.  The temperatures are decent.  I have been able to walk downtown to the library with no trouble.  (Lately, I have had to cut short my walks because of difficulty breathing in heavy air.)  I am hoping that this weather contiues for a few days.

I have moved my computer out to Samantha's house.  I am hoping to be able to use it this next week.  I have missed this form of communication.  It will be good to keep up with everyone again.

I had found a cabin to "rent to own" that I dearly wanted.  It would be my own, once I got done paying for it, but now it looks like that will not happen.  I can use it for storage, and I might still do that, but apparently, I cannot live in it unless I furnish it with electricity and running water.  That was not what I wanted to do.  So...it is back to the beginning with just having a home base at Samantha's.  I continue to seek God's direction in this.  I don't want to get ahead of Him and I don't want to go in the wrong direction.  It is hard to know the next move. 

Hoping your week goes well.
