Sharon, sorry your 4th didn't work out just as you'd hoped, but you seem to 
have managed to get some things done.  I'm having a late one here (and as 
you know, we don't get a 4th July here in the UK <SMILE>)

Anyway, we've had a half of Mike's week off from work which has been 
indescribably totally awful, but God turned things yesterday and the attack 
(for that's what I believe it was) on me ceased.  I was able to move my 
position and life became bearable once again!  So today, even if the temp is 
high and Fabian prevents us from going places, God will dig deep into His 
pockets and find me something I can and want to do and enjoy!

Sorry, now I'm rambling!  Anyway, praise God the temps are down a bit here. 
It's quite comfortable outside and even a little cooler inside now.

Love from your friend across that big merky pond!
