Went to church.  So good to have Melissa, Bruce and the kids there.  Worship was amazing.  I taught Sunday School so will have to listen to the message on line.  Twelve kids in my class today.

Kris was my helper and did great.  I ate my left overs from the Olive Garden and made scrambled eggs and fried potatoes for Bill.  I worked on the Faith Rider's Newsletter and got it done.  Also updated the CMA Website.  Just have to add new pictures and it will be done.  Watched a Hallmark Movie.

Slept in until 7:45 this morning.  Did some vacuuming.  Vicki Beemer came over at 12:30 and I showed her how to do the newsletter for Faith Riders.  She will do great, and I am so thankful she wants to do it.  Melissa called and she, Bruce and the kids came over to pick up Abby and Jeffery Peanut the Guinea Pig.  The kids were sure all excited to see Abby.  I got my hugs and they sure were great ones.  Melissa showed me all of their great pictures.   I loved hearing about their trip.  They sure did a lot in a short time.  The lady that helped set everything up did an amazing job.  A person Bruce works for recommended her.  Melissa said she made it a stress free trip.  I sure was happy to see them and so happy they are home.  Bill took Bruce and the boys out to look at the tools. After they left, Bill and I went to eat at Olive Garden for our date night.  We walked through Sam's Club after that and then came home and watched a Hallmark Movie.

Excited that Melissa and family are flying home today.  Sure have been missing them.  Kimmy and Vikki and kiddos all came over again today.  Jacob, Kimmy and I played 3-13.  Kimmy moved from the chair in the west to the chair in the east and started getting much better hands, even though we were in the same order.  Jacob was the big winner again though.  He sure wins a lot.  We had waffles and sausage for lunch.  I used my new waffle maker.  They sure tasted yummy with strawberries on them.  We went outside for a while and sat on the swing in the sun.  Sure was relaxing.  None of us wanted to move.  We got ready at 3 and went to Old Navy so Kimmy could get Jacob some swimming trunks he liked.  I stayed in the van with the other two boys and relaxed.  Vikki came there too and then we all drove to Delta.  Jared was there when we got in the building.  We all had fun swimming and going in the lazy river.  Adam, Jacob, Eli, and Isaac all took the swimming test and got their wrist bands to swim in the deep end.  Peyton tried but just when she was almost at the end she got tired.  She only had 5 more feet to go.  She did a great job for her age though.  She got a life jacket and went in the deep end, which is 11 feet deep.  The kids and adults (other than me) had fun going down the water slide too.  It was such a fun day.  Bill went to a dentist appointment.  We though he would come afterward, but he didn't make it.  We came back to my house so Kimmy could get Wyatt.  Adam rode from Delta with Jared and went home.  Kimmy and the other boys left after they got Wyatt, Adam's blanket and a couple of other things.  Watched a movie.  Melissa texted me at 11:30 p.m. and they were home safe and sound.  I was so happy to hear from her.  Thanking and Praising God!

Eli and Peyton woke up at 7.  They ate and then wanted to watch the 101 Dalmations Movie while I took my shower and got ready.  Kimmy and Jacob got here pretty early which was nice.  Vikki, Adam and Isaac got here right after that.  Charlie got us all donuts and sent them in with Bill when he dropped him off.  They were delicious.  I made homemade bread and egg salad for lunch and we had Kimmy's delicious salad with it.  The girls and Jacob helped put out the wooden swings, the gliders, the cover for our Pergola and other stuff.  They are amazing helpers.  Jacob sure is strong now and has the best attitude about helping.  We started setting p our old screen tent to see if we should sell it or throw it away.  It ripped because the material is rotting so we are tossing it.  We spent lots of time outside.  It was beautiful and in the high 50's.  Bill took everyone but Jacob and me on a wagon ride.  They were having so much fun and the kids were laughing and waving.  Papa sure knows how to have fun with them.  Jacob, Vikki,  Kimmy and I played 3-13.  Jacob was the big winner and I was the big loser.  Vikki got a couple of pat hands and stuck us, but Jacob still won.  She got four wild cards in one hand and threw a wild to me when she went out right away.  I had two wild in my hand too so I didn't get any points that hand at least.  We loaded the drill press in the van for Jared to have.
Bill did a demonstration with it before we loaded it.  We picked up our popcorn donation from the theater and went to the Rescue Mission to show the movie What If.  Wes and Gayla brought orange drink donated from McDonalds.  Isaac came to help us serve.  There were 15 guys there.  Several commented on how good the movie was.  One said whoever picked out the movie, picked the right one.  I love movie night at the Rescue Mission and how it touches their hearts.  Such a blessing.
