This morning I worked on researching potential churches to work with us in the Jackson, MS., Tuscaloosa, AL and Birmingham.

Takes time to click on websites, look for the youth director, see if he has an email, get the number and address, enter the information into an Excel and Mail Chimp database.

Ashley creates a campaign and sends them email that includes a four minute video. Then I make a call to see if they received the email and if they’re interested in working in Atlanta.

Ashley is calling the people South of Atlanta. If you don’t plant seeds, you don’t grow flowers.

K and I waited for the Oxygen delivery man to bring us the equipment.

She had a machine to generate Oxygen. She’s supposed to get 2fl a continuous flow.

And tanks for portability.

Kathy is pretty embarrassed about taking this stuff out in public. She’ll just do the best she can.

Didn’t get to eat lunch till after 2pm. I was getting hungry so I don’t eat breakfast.

Came home to water the plants.

The carnivorous plants are my favorites.

Added some fertilizer to my gardenia and magnolia trees.

Vacuumed the house. The vacuum exhaust stank. Kathy didn’t know you couldn’t use it for wet stuff. I cleaned it out and let it air dry. Should be fine after that.

Cleaned out the fish tank.

Went to Walmart to get some groceries and some equipment for the O2 machine.

I got adhesive hooks to run the tubing from the machine along the ceiling then down for Kathy.

Also got a suitcase strap to secure the machine to the dolly. I’ll have to walk it outside along the house rather than up and down those stairs. Should be no big deal.

Admin duties now.

I liked these. Vivid filter rocks.

Georgia in the Fall, baby!

Thursday morning I printed out all the labels for the newsletter.

Made calls to the rest of the churches that I had found in Memphis. Most just go to voice mail.

Ate lunch with Kathy then dropped her off at the lung doctor’s office to fill out forms while I went to Dr. Barrington’s to pick up the results from her lung CT scan.



The nurse was alarmed at the low O2 saturation of her lungs and immediately put her on oxygen. Scary.

The doctor put her on some heavy duty antibiotics. Hopefully, that will clear up the fluid in her lungs.

She will also have to go in for a sleep study and perhaps a new CPAP machine. Plus she needs to get an echo cardiogram to check on fluid around her heart. Kathy seems to be ok with it all except for having to carry a bottle of oxygen around with her.

Kathy dropped me off to pick up the Altima. Had a new master cylinder and slave cylinder installed. Shifts perfectly now.

After bringing Kathy back home, I went to Clarkston to get Ashley. Needed to talk to them about what’s going on with K. Helps me feel better!

Good news that Ashley found her keys. PTL.

The kids at the mission helped us with the labels and we helped them with their homework.


Got the letters in the mail.

I liked the National Park stamps.




This is my favorite.

Brought the kids doughnuts for a treat. Everyone gets a doughnut, even if they don’t help.

Ashley and I stopped at Taco Veloz. Anthony Bourdain likes the place too!

Came home to check on K. She’s doing fine. She’s had this problem for a long time. Doctor was astonished she was still riding her bike.

I’m still a bit under the weather. Went to sleep early. Had a good long talk with Jesse and my Mom. Catching up with my blog this morning.

Beautiful sunset.

FRIDAY morning, I’m waiting now for the home health care people to bring over the bottle of oxygen for her to use.
