Pat,

Up sipping that coffee again.  Sometimes I think a rock on the head would be 
the only way for me to get good sleep.

Praying for all your helth issues, and Vernon's needs for shoulder and ear. 
Also praying with you about the new renters.  Sounds like good positive 
response there.  Praying about the old renters too, to get some good 
resolution there.

Thanks for those prayers.  I'll gladly take some of those lovings and 
squeezings too.  Smile.

Vicki
