Friday, 7/21/23, Sad news today from Merijo, Max and Bruce came over, cleaned pool, swam,

Papa shooting and Max watching

The pool got a little green again, so today I brushed the bottom and sids and it's looking good again.  I swam for a while after that.

Bill is teaching Max lots.  They are both having so much fun.

 

We had a visitor after supper for about an hour

 

 Bill and Charlie went for coffee before Charlie had to have fluid pumped off his lung.  I slept in.  I got up and walked around outside for a little while, then had my oatmeal, raisins, raspberries, and bananas.  My friend, Merijo, called and let me know Pastor Pete and Sandy's brother was killed in a motorcycle accident yesterday while he and his wife were on vacation with them.  She is in serious condition.  The motorcycle Ron was driving accelerated and hit a pickup truck pulling a camper His motorcycle sideswiped the trucking camper, before it hit a cement post, killing him and seriously injuring his wife.  Ron's daughter, Lisa,  went to the Christian School with the girls.  He was 69.  This made us all sad.  

This was taken the day of the accident.  Pastor Pete and Sandy are in the front and Ron is at the end. They all used to go to our church when they lived here.  Pastor Pete was our Assoc. Pastor, then moved and started his own church.  I let the girls and Bill know to start praying right away.

Hailey posted a great post on Facebook today.  She is doing so good on her job and loving it so much.  Such fun pictures of her and the little girl she had this week with Downs Syndrome. They sure love each other after a week of doing fun things together.  

Bill picked up Max today to practice shooting some more.  Max came right in, said hi and started talking and was so excited to be able to practice again.  He learned more about gun care from Papa today too.  Bruce came and shot some too and did slo mo videos.  They all had fun together.  I cleaned the pool and swam while they practiced.

After we ate dinner, a lady turkey came in the yard.  She was out by the double swings for a while, then came up by the house and hung out there for about 40 minutes.  My dad always loved having turkeys come to his house.  

I texted with Adam for a while today and talked with Melissa and Vikki a few times.  I tried calling Kimmy but didn't get a hold of her.
