Connie I’m in a state of shock about Phyl. Makes one even more aware of how quickly things can change.
Molly how sweet of you to take August. Connie I can take September if you want as October and November will be too crazy for me to take either of those months.
Yesterday Fred fixed the fresh green beans on the Blackstone along with our brat burgers. Our Hy-vee makes some of their brats into burgers and they are good but so filling I couldn’t get through even half of one. I asked Fred if he had seasoned the green beans as they tasted pretty salty and he said well I did put a “little” Lowry’s on them. Well I know his “little” and so I said maybe next time you can not do that and he agreed. I was surprised at how little they made once cooked as I had told him we would be eating them for days but they really shrank.
He is taking our Prizm to Meineke this morning as it needed a new part which they had to order and it came in Friday and that’s the car I drive. Glad it will be fixed so I can drive myself to my hair appointment tomorrow as the salon is close enough that he’s okay with “letting” me drive myself!
Even though the temps are cooler still not cool enough to turn off the a/c but at least it isn’t running constantly trying to keep up.

I'm still in shock too. It goes to show how fast we can leave here. One minute here, the next gone.
DD is coming for the day so I will have a full day with her. She said she will take me out to eat.
Slept good last night. Coffe calling now. So later.

So true. I remember years ago asking my mother how a person can be alive one moment and then just gone...
She looked deep into my eyes and she said how can a child not be born one moment and then in the world the next?
Life is a miracle and there are so many things that we just can't understand, particularly with our hearts...
There's a saying in the Talmud. The idea is that we should live every day as if it is our last.
"Rabbi Eliezer said: “Repent one day before your death.” So his disciples asked him: “Does a person know which day he will die?” Rabbi Eliezer responded: “of course not, then, a person should repent today, for perhaps tomorrow he will die—so that all his days he is repenting.” (Talmud, Shabbat 153a).
In Judaism when a person dies we say Baruch Dayan HaEmet.... Blessed be the true judge. May her soul be bound up in the bonds of eternal life and may her family be comforted...

Good morning.
Thank you, Shragae, for the kind words from the Talmud.
Connie, you must have, psychologically, known something was wrong . . . so glad you had Phyl's phone number!
Last night, when Connie announced the stunning news of Phyl's passing, I offered to take the August thread, if it's okay with the rest of you. I can't even recall the last time I did it. There will be a very simple start-up tonight. I'm an unexciting person.
~~Molly
PS: I choose "  Air Conditioning" for my August name.
PS 2: Didn't we once have the ability to create our avatar? Is that ability gone? I removed my old one . . . but can't find the create thingy!

Good morning!
SEcond try. my post flew off to Mars. Or somewhere.
Like you, I am shocked and saddened to hear the news of Phyl. Prayers for Don and all who loved her -- including us!
May her soul rest in peace. Thank you, Shragae, for the words from the Talmud.
My name for August will be Think Cool Thoughts. We'll have taco salad this evening, since we are supposed to go over 100*. It was when I tried to add the degree symbol that my post left for its cyber trip.
Thank you, Molly, for stepping up to take August.
Friends, be very careful in the heat. Stay hydrated!
Hugs!
Diane

I am editing the new names, Thank you < Molly for taking August.
I will text the new avatar directions in a bit. Have to do it myself to get the order of doing it.
I have a story for you MOlly , a couple weeks ago I was on phone with Phyl, and she said in passing, I think Molly would be good at starting the thread. We should ask her personally!!! She loved the thread and yes telling us about your sewing will be fine. We will I am enjoy I am sure. I always loved Phyl's posts about all her sewing 'STUFF" as she called it.
Sandy, that will be fine also, thank you!!!
I am still in shock and was awake most of the night, did sleep a bit early this morning. It is hard to lose a friend even a Cyber friend. Phyl and I commented on that a lot, how nice cyber friends were even if we never got together. And we would have like to.

Molly, Since I do computer for the board that is the how I start, on computer to set up photos. Not sure if anyone else does that or if that would help? If it does I would post the steps for you. I don't do Face time so I can't post my own pictures. Pro Boards does not accept where I have my pictures, just the ones I pick from Google Images.

Molly I use my iPad but the way I change my avatar is first click on my profile and there’s a tab that says edit profile and then it gives you the option of choosing your photo. I click on the upload option and it says upload from my computer or online and I click my computer and it brings up my photos as an option I click on a photo and it takes me back to my profile I click save changes and it’s done. Not sure if this helps you but that’s how I do it.
That being said my new avatar is Debbie and Jim.

Thank you for your help, Connie and Sandy! Got it! Great picture of Debbie and Jim!
Am I crazy, or didn't the message board have a "create " on the avatar screen when we first started on here? Hmm.

Kind of like we can do for the Bitmoji , I don't remember but maybe. Have done the Bitmoji on my Iphone and Ipad. pick the clothes etc. lot of fun.
have to figure out my new Iphone 11 to see what all of that is about. It has changed big time.
Sandy, really like the avatar of Debby and Jim. Such a handsome couple. I always like to enlarge the photos on the avatar to see them better. I wish I could post my family photos but kids don't want me to. So I don't. But would need facetime to do it anyway. And I do not do that. My photos are all on Shutterfly yet.

Guess with all that's going on in my life I haven't selected a name for August. First let me say thank you to Molly for taking the thread. The month of July went so fast I haven't thought a lot about a name. Best I can come up with is
State Fair Time
So much going on with my daughter in law that I'm very lucky to even be able to think straight. My son thinks the cancer has spread from her spine into her brain and they also saw a spot on her pelvis. She has a tissue expander in and they can't do an MRI with that there so aren't able to really determine where it has spread.
They're starting radiation next week.
Thinking a lot about Phyl.
