Kody had a busy weekend and was super tired today.  He usually has lots of energy.  He did walk around and collected feathers to take home

Got up early to spend time with the Lord before things got busy.  Mixed the potatoes salad up.  Made burger patties.  Texted with Adam.  Kimmy called and wasn't feeling good because of her cold.  She even had to sleep in a chair at around 3 a.m.  We talked and decided to cook out next weekend since she was congested.  I sure am praying for my sweet girl.   Praying protection for everyone else too. I talked to her a little later and they were going hiking.  She said she felt good enough to do that.  Melissa and family came last night for a visit, so they didn't come because Jack and Evan were catching up on some school work.  They are making good progress.  I talked to Kenzie and Travis and then Face Timed with them. They have to make pendants and stuff for an art show they are going to be in.  They have sold most of their stuff, so they didn't come so they could work and get stuff made ahead for this show in June.  Vikki, Rody, Peyton and Issac came over.  Bill cooked hotdogs and burgers on the grill and we all ate and enjoyed his good cooking.  We had baked beans, potato salad, salad, strawberries and Rody's delicious Banana Pudding Dessert.  Stacie, DJ and Kody came after Kody's Cub Scout Memorial Day event was done.  They ate when they were here too.  We had a nice time visiting, Peyton and Isaac had fun swimming and Kody had fun looking for feathers.  Isaac went underwater for the first time this year.  It was still burr cold.   I texted Lela to see if she was ok.  I was concerned because she hadn't posted on her blog in a few days.  I sure was happy to hear she was doing good and only has 4 more days of radiation.  She sent me a cute squirrel video and we texted for a while.  Bill and I watched the National Memorial Concert 2021.  It was so touching and really makes you appreciate what these hero's did.  We watch these concerts every year.  A couple came and Bill showed them Vikki's sailboat and they bought it for $450.  I was talking to Melissa on the phone, we talked about Hailey being home.  That reminded me that we didn't get gas today at Kroger.  It was our last day to get 50 cents off a gallon.  I hung up and got dress as I already put my pj's on.  We called Hailey to see if she needed gas and she did since she drove to Sebewaing and back.  Bill filled my car first, then Haileys, the his truck and two gas cans and came to exactly the 35 gallons we could use the 50 off on.  I visited with Hailey while he put gas in both of our cars, then we girls left while he filled his truck.  She was working on homework when we called her.  We were sure happy she could come get her car filled.  We tried Vikki, Rody or Bruce but they just filled their cars.  Then we though of Kimmy and waited so we could see if she needed gas.  She ended up not coming and we totally forgot about the gas.  Good thing I talked to Melissa.  We love our family and their family extensions!
