Hot days and fires around Oregon and Washington

Early August and it's still hot days outdoors and some areas where the fires are at. Sad that had to happen again a few years ago. Mug had tea in it and USA flag behind the mug. I took that photo years ago at cemetery that I view, especially veterans are at that are celebrated and put flags on them and flowers.  The tree that has purple flowers on it is neighbor's house across the street where we live. They have a lot less in their house as they are now living in Idaho. We miss them as they have been helpful and good to talk with. Air Quality was at 139 before I left house to get to Molalla for my Dental Clinic for my cleaning appointment this morning. It got higher at Molalla 179 but there was bluer in the sky that morning and less once that I got back home. I did not have any issues with my teeth. I need to figure out what insurance for teeth appointments will be 2027. Phil is retiring in December. 

I had another delicious lunch at adult center Wednesday. I like the foods they give us.  

I shopped at Safeway and found the Splenda that I like and the celebrate the 250 years in the USA!! Both Megan and I use the sweetener. I used raw honey in the tea that I had for my lunch at home due to allergies outdoors with all the yucky smells when it's high in air quality. It doesn't bother other people, but it does to other people. 

Phil, Megan and I were going to the National Day Out on Tuesday evening, but no policeman or firefighters would be there. Sad that had to happen as it was good to be there. I saw one the Foursquare Church yesterday when I was going to Dutch Bros to get tea. I do not know any updates about it as there are places to help for firefighters and police.

Paris tea that I got from DB and a new sticker.  Close to adult center before lunch. I did stay there after lunch and did coloring on paper that all I had to do was to color it. Almost done and will do it by the end of the week to send it to someone next week.

I was leaving Bauman's after checking out and looking outside to get to my car. I had Peach Arnold Palmer tea. I like that cold tea as it was needed as well.

Megan is on her vacation this afternoon after she was done at VBS at Grace Chapel in Wilsonville. I am glad she's out and about and staying at a hotel and have a good and safe time.

I find this Precious Moments on Facebook, and I enjoy PM company as I enjoy the PM items and have a bible that's PM as well, from friends who were our pastor at Woodburn Christian Church. They sent it to me years ago.
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves;
 it is the gift of God"

End of July this summer

Another time to show more what I have been doing lately. I went through magazines that I have and read them. The first two on the are about celebrating 250 years of the United States of America. Second one is about viewing tulips in Amsterdam in another country. It looks a lot like Woodburn Tulip field for years and I know being there here in Oregon and Washington.

Some of the foods were handmade, including the lemon cinnamon roll that I ate most of it and took the last bit home. A young girl was playing basketball by herself and a bit later rider bicycle with a boy for a bit and had fun time to view them. The table does not have any water in it. It's blue/green in a river looks like. 

July 23, I went to the Simonka Place in Keizer to view what artist have done as the ladies who live there do them. There were a lot of items to view, and this is one that I like because of Jesus Christ our savior touches my heart and mind daily. I was eating dinner outside after seeing all of the items and able to choose some of the ones that I liked so the ladies would know probably later that week. It's a good place for me to view and be there as there seems to be God's presence. Good to be able to have a volunteer lady let me leave the place to drive back home. It still had warm weather as I left.

Two weeks ago, Wednesday night, there was a thunderstorm in our area where we live. I am glad Megan was able to return home from an event she had to be at. Good to know there was rain as well as we haven't had any lately. Good to have water to use outdoors. The photo is in Keizer where there's to be baseball game that evening with two different teams. One from Portland and other from Salem/Keizer. The seven time the score was 4-4 and were told to leave including people who were people to watch the game. It isn't good to be outside and possibly get struck by lightning. 
  I remember Phil stopped the internet going so our computers. Good thing that no power outage.

Sunday after church on two days ago, Phil and I went to Panera for lunch this time. We tried to last Sunday but there was 35 minutes to wait so we went to Red Robin and was good time to get food.  I enjoyed the foods that they have and had British Breakfast tea. 

Phil is busy this week as he went to work on Monday and from Tuesday to Thursday, he is helping at Kids Camp in the gymnasium connected with MVCC. I did bake ranger cookies on Monday and put 24 cookies in a Ziploc bag for the people could use it at the camp. I need to dry the items in the washing machine as Phil had with him today so he can use it again. That's why I waited until he came back home. 
 I miss being there but good memories. I have been using a walker to keep myself safe to walk outdoors and do get help often now, which is nice and so thankful for people who help me. A blessing to Jesus and my Father God in heaven. 
Hope you all having a good week wherever you are at. 
       

Late June to July

It is another day of summer here in Woodburn, OR. It's been hot outside and plants and birds need more water in their bird bath.  I decided to get a new towel for our kitchen, and I like what it can be read about.  Our USA country gets help especially when they are in the military and go to wars and just being on their places where they work. Many of those men and women were in the military had been killed from other people in the world that were at war. 
The blanket is one that I have had for four years and still use it on the top of my twin extra-long bed. 
It was made by a few ladies, including two ladies that have known me for years. 

I decided to order this item for our home to celebrate 250 years of having United States of America those many years. I decided to get this one as I know that God helps us and America. God cares for other people around the world. 

 

I read this on Facebook and was able to download it onto my phone. It's written through 
Psalm 33:12  

I bought Kleenex at Costco, and they were on sale for 12 of them connected together. I remember Phil and I and possibly our children, Megan and Justin, went to the area Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. A place to visit and see where people were in the American Civil War. July 1-3,1863.  I was able to view what I am looking for on phone. 

Phil and I went outside to look for the airplanes from the military to fly over our house and they were fly to the cemetery, but we never saw or heard it. There were clouds and did hear planes but may have been too high. Apparently, Megan was able to hear them. We decided to wear our Air Force shirts that day, May 25th.  The bag is one that I got when I was shopping at Home Goods store in Salem. I needed a new quilt for Phil's bed, and I was able to find one that has more cotton and less polyesters. I have seen those elsewhere and it's a good item to use. He likes it even though he wanted to keep the other one that he had. It has been so old as I remember having one like it as well and got rid of mine. He did appreciate it. I bought the bag for 99 cents to take it with me instead of dropping it and I had a few other items to put in it. The bag looks like a good way to celebrate 250 years in USA.

Megan took the picture of us. 

 

Good memories of seeing this as well online.

Phil and I watched on OPB July 3rd in the evening after dinner. The four people in the blue were 

Artemis 11 Astronauts mission April 2026. They were able to talk with the man or the right side. 

Men singing and playing guitars and a piano for music. It was really good music. 

Celebrating 4th of July with fireworks behind the building. 

All four photos were on our Roku television. It was in Washington, D.C. A lot of good music and other people singing and views of people that were in the military. 

I like teas and books and other items.

A week ago, I drove over to Dutch Bros to get iced tea as it was hot outside. I got a blueberry muffin that they make. They were both delicious. I did that after shopping at Bimart store, across the road. I got some tea this late morning at Dutch Bros that is hot and delicious.
after exercise at the North Marion Adult Center and went back and ate lunch with people that I remember. I was able to get help from a lady who heads the adult center to help me walk from my car to indoors and she helped when I was leaving. I am glad I get help but not sure if I will just do exercise and get tea and go back home. I have issues walking that way down with possibly falling.

 I had a colonoscopy two weeks ago July 2nd in Oregon Clinic is Tualatin. Phil was helpful with me. Good for him to get his lunch after I was inside and getting taken care of. Once I was done and able to leave, we went to Carl's Jr. restaurant when he had eaten before me. I was hungry then as I could not eat anything for almost 2 days. I am glad that I able to eat and walk and drink and water outside a few times a week. I will know more in two what's been found inside my colon area. 

I hope you are having a good summertime or other earth times where you live. God bless you all and have other good time together with other people!!!
