... Even the worst heartaches can become heartstrings to God's hope, comfort, encouragement, joy, peace and love...

Welcome! As a fan of the cartoon character Maxine, I enjoy her witty remarks. But when I
read my blogs & other writing to her, she's not very responsive- even when I'm wearing my bunny slippers like hers! She just doesn't get it!
Although she's funnier than I am, I do pray that this site will bring encouragement to your day! I'd love to hear from you! Unlike Maxine, you can leave me a message via the Comments. Shalom, Connie

Triple Digits & Wildfires in Central Oregon

Most of my phone calls are scams that are computerized. One of my favorite ones is from Social Security telling me about the fraudulent activity. which has resulted in an arrest order. They don't know my name, but there's an arrest warrant out. Not! I like it when it's a human voice for two reasons. I still have a landline and I enjoy slamming down the receiver.  
And I play games when it's a real person. It ruins their scripted answers and they hang up on me.

However, last Friday at 4:45 p.m. my senior social services case manager called, "This is Katie (name changed). How are you... do you have an air conditioner?" I assured her that I did and was comfy. Her voice sounded tired but also relieved at my response. I had the feeling she had been calling her clients all day.

I have caregivers 4 hours per day. They were instructed to take their clients without a/c to someplace cool. Oregon has lightened the COVID precautions, thankfully.

And-- borrowing from Hallmark: "When you care enough to keep seniors safe..." you get a gold star from me.
