Bill went to get coffee with Charlie.  I made oatmeal and coffee and watched the birds while I ate.  It must have rained quite a bit last night, because there were big puddles of water back by the double swing.  Good for all the plants coming up and also for the grass.  It is getting pretty green.  We did our morning reading and devotions.  Adam texted me and wanted to know if they could come over because they only had a half day of school.  Of course I said yes!!!! I made two loaves of bread in my bread makers, then made some egg salad.  We went to the memorial service.  They were very careful which I liked.  Everyone wore a mask and kept it on the whole time, even when we sang.  They had pews blocked off, and the open ones had tape across the middle so people couldn't walk through and go past anyone. 
The pastor did a great job telling about Louise's life and describing what a great, humble, fun, godly, and loving person she was.  They had wonderful pictures up on the screens that kept going.  There were only 24 there because of Covid and also, she hasn't lived here in 2 1/2 years and was 97.  A few days ago they had a Memorial Service for her in Indiana where she lived until she moved here with her husband.  She was from Muncie.  I will always remember her for the wonderful friend she was, the godly example she was, the fun person she was and the humble servant she was.  I sure will miss her.  Her family is so nice and always good to us.  We have stayed at her daughter Becky and Dave's place a few times when we went up to visit Louise and them. We went to Sullivans for dinner in the back room with the family afterwards.  Ginny's mom was there too.  
Kimmy and the boys came over.  When Vikki got out of work, her and the kiddos came over.  We ate egg salad sandwiches made with the fresh homemade bread.  Some just wanted bread and butter, plus snacks.   Eli and Isaac spent lots of time in the basement and outside.  Kimmy, Vikki, Adam and I played a game of 3-13.  Kimmy was the big winner, then Adam, then Vikki and then I was the loser.  We had fun!  Adam helped Papa push over a tree that the wind blew.  It was just resting on another tree at the top. We Face Timed Melissa and all visited with her for a while.  Another fun day with family.  We played  cards with Charlie and Sue at their house in the evening.  We girls won five out of six games.  Go girls!
