Tender mercies

I will start by saying I was sore from tennis yesterday. I played against a ball machine. My friends daughter set it up for me in their court. I had a workout.Hard work day. Mostly cleaning the yard.
At two in the morning my son came home. I woke up and looked on my on-line bank account. I saw a auto check had come in. I knew I would get charged a fee since I had no money in my account. I asked my son for cash and he gave me what he could. Then I emailed a friend that was always awake at a early hour. I told her I needed help and call as soon as she read it. She called about four am. I told her I needed cash to take to the ATM machine. She was happy to help. I took it to the machine for a deposit. I looked on-line and I had a positive balance. Later in the morning I took my British currency to the bank. They deposited it. Then I was able to pay my friend almost all she let me borrow.
The last two nights have been very bad storms. My poor dog wouldn't stop barking at the noise till late. Today my pool cleaner was having trouble. The pool was so dirty. I cleaned and cleaned. I did more cleanup in the yard. I could see the pool was about to go green. I called a couple of friends looking for someone that cleaned their own pool. I needed shock and had no money to buy it. Finally got Rick Porter to come by with his son. He and his son fixed the cleaner. They will come again tomorrow to make sure all is good with the chemicals.
I'm so thankful for good friends. I didn't know I had them till I asked for help. Maybe its a good thing I needed help. It is showing me the goodness of my friends.
