#1161- Vol.26 - One Day Late! - July 30, 2026

Dear Friend,

This is learning process for me; so far I have only personal friends on this mailing list, so I think I can express my own personal experiences and surprises as one does to friends I can confide in.

This is a relief to me today as I realize that I can only confide that my life has become extra busy and things interrupt my efforts at a business life style crowd my days which could frustrate me a lot more than they do at the moment. Yet I can see that I may have to eventually divide my life into personal and business compartments and organize my life so I don't mix them together as easily as I do right now.

I do have certain compartments to my life. I do let them merge sometimes, but know that if it becomes more busy in one or two areas I may have to separate them emotionally instead at least- instead of merging them quite so often.

There is my "devotional and intercession" time when I focus on a ministry of prayer that takes 4-5 hours very easily.

There is the "business section" where I spend some quality time to learn to sell my brother's models from a website - because I PROMISED I would. That is been part of my evenings when I focus to learn skills in marketing from a website that are new to me. That doesn't happen fast - at least not in the early stages.

For instance, I have not had an order for any of Tom's models since about August of last year. Then last week I got an order from Florida. I've been pushing myself to remember and re-learn the steps I need to take to fill this order.

Then I run into a problem: my printer has been in the bedroom since my sister's desk was moved to Edmonton for her daughter. It was put on my sewing desk in my bedroom just - temporarily!

I do have my own desk set up now and even 2 filing cabinets against the wall by the door. I've been waiting for a lateral filing cabinet to be delivered - but it has not showed up yet.

But I have this weak back and will get a serious fracture if I pick up and carry the printer the 12 steps to get into this room, and close enough to my computer so I can connect it by a cord.

I thought a friend was coming today who could do that for me. But he has not showed up yet.

I have 2 or 3 projects I could work on while I wait, but I'm rather torn as to which is most important. I don't like to keep the customer waiting so long, but I'm torn by this blockage.

An order that I placed at the beginning of last week has not arrived and I'm stumped as to how to reach that company to ask what's up?

I've been distracting myself with YouTube videos about solving health issues by eating certain fruits. Maybe I should take a break and go prepare some blueberry pies in the kitchen.

Blessings, Thanks, & Prayers,
Ruth Friesen!

P.S. All this to explain why this RoseBouquet email comes to you today instead of Tuesday as it usually does.

Next week I should have a story about my youngest sister, moving here to Saskatoon! That will add another string of adventures!
