Got up early and started going through some more summer clothes I wanted to take.  Did some laundry.  Took care of Mocha and gave her her aspirin.  She ate really good today.  Her mouth is still hurting.  She did wag her tail a lot when she came in from outside today. Made a noise to come in too.  Not quite a bark, but I could hear her from inside the house.  I ground up some chicken breast in my ninja and she sure loves that on top of her other soft food.  After I got almost packed, I went to Krogers to get gas, some gift cards and some groceries to take.  Came home and fed Mocha again and then took her to Vikki's.  I was a little worried, but she jumped up to look out the window when we got to Vikki's and seemed excited to be there.  Happy to get hugs from them before going to Florida.  I was going to take Peyton and Isaac to class with me, but they had to go see their Aunt Ann for her birthday.  She was at Rody's mom's recuperating.  I went over to Melissa's and picked up Evan on my way by.  The kids all came running to give me hugs.  It was so cute.  I told them I needed hugs to last me while I'm in Florida.  Evan was excited to ride with me to church.  My class went well and the kids did good.  Came home and did a last load of laundry, washed a few dishes and finished packing everything.  Just have to pack the last minute things now.

2/27/18...Cleaned the house, Mocha started doing better, Had small group

Went to our breakfast at Sullivan's.  Got the house cleaned for small group and because we are leaving for Florida.  Nice to have done.  Mocha started feeling better.  Around 5 pm she started begging for chicken I was cooking.  I cute a piece up and she ate it all.  She also ate a fourth can of soft dog food. I was happy to see her eating so good.  Later she ate another fourth can of dog food.  We had 15 come for small group.  Only had two people missing.  It was a great Bible Study tonight and good prayer.

2/26/18 Went to SportsZone, took Mocha to the vet, Cleaned everything out of camper, went to get haircut, Kenzie and Travis came over, hauled everything from inside of camper upstairs, packed for Florida

Mocha finally is caching up on her sleep.  She can lay her head down  good now which she didn't do all night Sat and Sun morning.  She didn't even wake up when I called her and said the word treat.

Kenzie and Mocha

Kenzie always has loved Mocha.

Kenzie wanted a picture of us together with Mocha

Kenzie pulled Isaac's tooth.  He was one happy boy and looks so cute.  Love that Kenzie is growing her hair out and letting it go back to light  She has been wearing it curly too except for today so it looks much healthier.  

I went to the SportsZone to walk.  It was started getting very busy so I walked 1 and 1/2 miles and then came home and finished walking here.  Walked 3 miles.  Mocha ate her soft food good, but didn't look good to me, so I took her to the vet.  The Vet was really nice and checked her out as good as she could.  She couldn't get a great look, but did get her mouth open wide enough to see in a little.  Her temp was normal so that was good.  She ended up giving her a two week antibiotic shot because she thinks she might have an obsessed tooth..  She said Mocha needs to have bloodworm, get her teeth cleaned and checked.  Would have to be put under.  It would start at $350 and go up depending how long the procedure took.  I told her that I wasn't going to put lots of money into and put her through a lot since she is 14 years old.  I am really praying this antibiotic works and Mocha is back to normal soon.  Kenzie and Travis came over today.  Kenzie looked really pretty.  She spent a lot of time with Mocha and said her goodbye incase she has to be put down.  She told me she cried.
She sure loves Mocha lots.  Me too!   Bill and I cleaned everything out of the camper when I got home from the vet.  I had to leave at 1 to go to Catherine's for a haircut.  Bill was gone with the camper when I got home.  Kenzie and Travis came to see Bill while I got my hair cut.   When I got home I talked to Kenzie on the phone and they came back.  I asked Travis if he believed in Jesus and he told me he did.  He said Jesus was his Lord and Savior.  I also shared how Kenzie was 5 and shared the scripture John 3:16 with a guy in the park who was walking his dog.  He started tearing up and said thank you and that he needed to go back to church.  I am trying to plant seeds for the Lord.
I made them Frappe's and after that they left to go to Vikki's.  I hauled all of the stuff packed in my car from the camper upstairs.  Bill had to go to an Elder's meeting at church.

2/25/18...Went to church, Had pancakes and sausage at church afterward, Checked on Mocha, went to Camper show and then for a hot fudge brownie at Tony's in Birch Run,

Pastor put a huge back pack on!  His message was on carrying our burden of sin!  Pastor Jeff kept putting big rocks in the back pack when Pastor Ken asked him to.  His sin was really weighing him down

What a heavy load, but what joy when he dropped his burden, confessed and gave it to Jesus.  What a great message

Kimmy and Jared had another lamb born

We really liked this 5th wheel

Bill and I shared a hot fudge brownie at Tony's after going to the camper show

 We went to church and pastor gave an amazing message.  Mocha was doing a little better today.  She ate green beens, mashed bananas and then wen we came home from church she ate some soft dog food.  We went back down to the camper show.  We really liked the camper I put pics on of.  We sure enjoyed our big hot fudge brownie dessert at Tony's.  We stopped at Rody's mom's on our way home to take Peyton and Isaac their balloons from the camper show.  Isaac forgot his the other night and today we picked one up for Peyton.  We went in and had a nice time visiting,  and then prayed for Rody's Aunt Ann who just got out of the hospital.  Came home and watched Hallmark Movies and then When Calls the heart

2/24/18...Went to Aldi's, Went to Katelyn and Rocco's Baby open house for the twins, Went to Vikki's, Kimmy, Jared and the boys came over, Watched Hallmark Mysteries

Mocha got a nice haircut from Kimmy

Peyton with her doll's hair fixed really cute!  She told Vikki, "This can be her church hair"

Went to Aldi's and picked up a pizza, some bread and lunchmeat.  Met Gayla, Elaine and Lupe at the Fire Station.  They do things different now we heard.  They have open houses where you congratulate the mommy and daddy to be.  It's like a graduation open house where you come anytime between certain hours and the food is out all the time.  Katelyn opened our gifts right away as we were the only 4 there..  I felt bad for her because she has a cold on top of being pregnant with twins.  She stayed behind the table and didn't get near anyone.  I prayed for her before we sat down, but did keep my distance.  We ate after that.  The food was great and so were the decorations.  I still  like the old way showers were done.  We were there for an hour and no one came until we were leaving.  Two ladies came then.   After the shower, I went to Vikki's and got the DVD, Wonder, so I could send it with Kimmy to watch.  I got home and put pizzas in before they got there. They were in town getting the boys pictures taken.  They also were bringing a yarn bowl I ordered for a gift for our pastor's wife.   Kimmy, Bill and I had subs an the rest ate pizza.  We had a nice time and the boys were so sweet and fun.  Kimmy groomed Mocha for me.  Mocha was matted really bad and it was a huge job.  She was weird, whiny and nippy at times.  She sure looked great when she was done.  Kimmy showed me the boys pictures on line and they turned out so nice.  What handsome grandsons!  After they left, Mocha started acting weird.  She laid in her cage, but wouldn't put her head down.  If I got within an inch of her mouth she would yelp.  I had gotten a half aspirin down her with peanut butter but when I found out she could have another half from Melissa, she would have nothing to do with it.  Finally I had Melissa pray too and I hung up.  I tried to give it to her and she kind of nipped and it stuck to her tongue so she swallowed it.  Answered prayer!  I talked to Kimmy and she was reassuring.  I had found a rotted tooth Mocha lost in the hallway and she thought that's probably her problem.  

Finally after I talked to her, Mocha laid in the chair by me and put her head down.

Peyton made a hospital bed for her!  The American girl doll came back with a hospital gown, hospital bracelet, Certificate of Health, and some socks

Vikki got a picture today of her puppy.  Isn't she cute and such a cute color.  Love her white paws too!

I went through my summer stuff to get things ready to be packed for our Florida Trip.  At 1:30 I met Melissa at the kids school to watch Hailey in the Spelling Bee.  She did good, but I could tell she was nervous.  So was Ally.  Felt bad when they spelled a word wrong.  So happy they made it in the Spelling Bee though.  I was happy that I got to see Max and see him with his braces in person too.  He's so cute.   We told Hailey goodbye, got our hug and went to Tim Horton's for a muffin and capacinno. (Melissa had a Mocha and a donut)  We spent time there until it was time for Melissa to take me back to my car and her to pick the kids up.  I went to Vikki's to take her the DVD "Wonder".  Left and came home, so Bill and I could get ready to go to the Camper Show in Birch Run.  I saw a box on the table and was happy that Peyton's American Girl Doll came.  On our way to the Camper Show, we stopped at Vikki's and took Peyton her doll.  She was excited to open it.  She loved her and started playing with her right away.  She made a bed up and brought all of her other dolls out.  We left and then I called Vikki to see if Isaac could come to the camper show with us since Peyton got the doll.  He was so excited to go with us.  We stopped at Old Town Drive in and Bill and I got coney dogs, Isaac wanted a hot dog with catsup and we had fries and their famous root beer.  YUM!  We were a little disappointed with the camper show because there weren't many 5th wheels, but finally we did see one we really liked.  Isaac loved going in the campers and always points out the details to me.  He is sure a sweetie.  We dropped Isaac off.  He wanted to give his mommy his left over cotton candy.  We went home and watched a movie.
