Listed below is the fourth series of comments that Linda Purtee (died 2013) wrote in her Bible. Her husband Sam (died 2023) gave me permission to copy these from her Bible. Here are some comments from a precious friend who is gone from this earth but not forgotten.

My morning chores are officially from 8-10 a.m. Anything else after that is miserable. Anything during that time is uncomfortable. We had a wonderfully wet May and June, and my lawn is paying the price. I have three-foot-tall weeds. Russ mows, but the weed eating is my task.

August is upon us, and the heat is no joke…or is it?!. I think I just saw a dog chasing a cat, and they were both walking. ;-) Ba dum dum On to real news, S. A. Baxter was the Grand Marshall at the San Saba Rodeo Parade last week. He is a homegrown Bend resident and still farming at the age of 93.

What a relief in the temperature this morning, Monday, July 22, in Zanesville, Ohio, at 73 degrees. The hot weather has not effected me since I moved from Ohio in 2006 to San Saba and hotter in San Fernando, Mexico, for mission work.
