Peyton and Isaac got up a half hour after I did. Bill had already left to take the dunk tank back to Bay City. The kids ate, then we worked on school work on the computer. Not easy for me to figure out, so how can a kid figure all that out. Things didn't work like they should, so we couldn't draw like they said, and the questions we answered seemed to disappear. They said we need to save them to a file, but it didn't show how to do that or what file. We spent lots of time trying to figure things out. Peyton would get a square on her chrome book to write and answer, but Isaac didn't get the square, so couldn't write the answer. Frustrating to say the least. Bill came home and brought me a flower arrangement with different kinds of roses and flowers mixed in. It was beautiful. He gave me a beautiful card with a gift certificate to Outback in it. Vikki came here after work to get ready. Mark, Ahmeh, and Mark's fiancé, Michelle, got here. Kimmy, Jared and the boys got here right after that. We had such a great day, looking through pictures, watching videos of grandpa's interviews I took, and sharing memories. I loved the memory Mark shared about wanting to marry me when he was little because he loved me and I looked beautiful. How precious. He lived with us for a few years and we were like parents to him then. Ahmeh was little last time she was here(around 7). She remembered lots, even though she was so young. She remembered spending time with Kenzie (who came to see her today too and is only 2 years older, remembered Hailey (commented on how she loved playing with her. Hailey was only almost 2 when she was here last). Love that she is such a family girl, and that the loves the Lord. We loved Michelle....she shared scripture and Prov. 31. She uses it to teach in her business. She grew up in Alaska, because her parents were missionaries. Her dad is a Pastor. Looks like God has brought Mark the right person. She was so nice and fit right in our family. We had tacos and then had ice cream bars, zucchini bread, Oreos and cupcakes for dessert. We visited more. While we visited and looked at pictures, I looked up and saw a box with a picture of the make up table I showed Bill I wanted for Christmas sitting on the living room floor in the middle of the room. Everyone laughed because I had been in the room so long and didn't notice it there for so long. He sure spoiled me on our 47th Anniversary. I sure am thankful for him and for God being in our marriage. After the videos we watched, Mark wanted to get over to see Melissa and her family. We visited outside there. It was warmer than they had said, 63 degrees, and it was only supposed to get to 54. We stayed quite a while, and it was so nice getting to visit there too. Mark told the girls they were like sisters to him. It was such a fun day! While I went to Melissa's, Kimmy, Vikki and families cleaned up the house, put the tables back to the regular size, did dishes, and everything else to make the house so nice. What blessings they always are. I told them to go home and get the kids in bed because they have school tomorrow. They sure didn't listen.
