Vikki, Kimmy and the kids all came over today. Kimmy was sad because 18 of the fish she just got a little while ago died this morning. We decided to go to an estate sale right after she got here. It was at a $600,000 home down the road. Bill and Isaac drove separate in the truck. We thought the prices would be high, but they weren't. I got a beautiful round table for $25, a beautiful wall hanging for $5, a beautiful trunk for $15, a nice tv stand for the basement for $10, a pretty glass jug container for $5, and a vase with a cute artificial plant in it for $2. Bill got an electric bicycle for $95. It is worth $600.
Kimmy saw a set of silverware she liked and wanted but didn’t get. He asked me if we should get the silverware for Kimmy and I told him yes. Bill told her he was going to the basement to look again. We girls came home because I didn't want her to see him with it. When Bill and the grandkids got home later he had me go out to the van where he had put it and bring in that silverware for Kimmy. We were excited to look through it, but then realized there were only 3 big forks. Vikki texted Mark McNight (he wasn’t in charge of this sale, but she knows him from other sales. He told her you can’t return anything from an estate sale. We prayed and decided to try anyway. We walked in and a really nice lady working saw us and when she heard there were only 3 forks, she said do you want credit or cash. She went and talked to the person who collected the money and he gave her the $25 and she gave it to Kimmy! We were excited to see God make a way when there seemed to be no way. He even cares about the little things! Kimmy washed down the bicycle and tv stand, and afterward Vikki hooked up the tv in the basement. We moved the chairs out farther too. Jacob hooked the Wii up upstairs.
We ate bagels and cream cheese, macaroni and cheese, and Bill had left over chicken and rice. No one else wanted that because Vikki told Kimmy that she read that rice has larva in it. Bill and I are still eating it though. So is Melissa.
Adam, Jacob and Isaac went with Bill to set up the foosball table at Vikki's. Then he took them to Culver's. They were happy when they came back.
The younger kids all played lots of ping pong. Papa played some games with them too.
Talked to Kenzie for a long time.
