Vikki, Peyton, Eli, Kimmy, Isaac and me in Frankenmuth today
I got up at 6:30 and went outside to see if my orioles had food. Another raccoon had come and made a big mess, knocking down bird feeders, oriole liquid feeders, took apart the flowers in my hummingbird feeder, jelly jar was on the ground. I will be giving it a good last meal tonight and then off it goes to the boat launch in the morning hopefully. I decided to take a shower instead of going back to bed. Went out and ate oatmeal and drank my coffee on the deck. Watered some plants in my flower garden and around the house. Vikki, Peyton and Isaac got here. Peyton told me about her Lauren Daigle Concert and showed me some videos. She watered my hanging plant in the front of the house. We visited a few minutes, then Kimmy and Eli got here. She had picked up Adam from his half day of school and took him home, then headed over. We all left in Kimmy’s van to go to an Estate Sale by us where we all got some things, then to 7-11 to get slurps for the kids, then to Tim Hortons to get Ice Capps for Kimmy and I and Nacho’s for Vikki, then we finally headed to Frankenmuth to Wild Birds Unlimited. We saw another Estate Sale sign, so we went to another one in Frankenmuth. Then we went to the store we all wanted to go to. Vikki had to go to the bathroom, so we walked across the street to RiverPlace. Vikki, Kimmy and Eli went to the bathroom and while they did, Peyton and I went into the Funky Skunk Store, which is where Peyton wanted to go. Not a whole lot we liked in there, so we went back and met the others. The kids stayed there and went through shops, while we went back to the Bird store. Kimmy bought a cute bird bath that attaches to her feeder from Wild Birds Unlimited she has at home. She bought a chickadee for the top of one, and a beautiful bird bath that attaches to it. Vikki and I both got really nice bird books, and I got a bird house/feeder/etc. hanger that will attach to my deck post. It is so cute. The guy unscrewed it and got it down off the wall for me. I can’t wait to hang it. We went back and met the kids, then went to Matthew’s. Uncle Tom was working on cleaning their pool and Matthew was reading a Christian Book on the deck getting a suntan. We visited for a little while, then left and headed to Home Depot so Kimmy could get her last can of paint for her chairs. They only had one can left. All the places in Midland had been out. We were very thankful. We stopped so Vikki could pick up her glasses. They look so cute on her. She was so happy she could see clearly again and I was very happy for her. Kimmy dropped us off, then she headed home right away, because Jared was out of work and home. Vikki left right away too. Bill showed me the table he and Max built for their shooting practices. It turned out really nice. We headed to Kimmy’s right away to help with the roof of the gazebo. Bill had eaten with Max at Culver’s, so he gave me the other half of his sub that was left over from last night. I ate it on the way. Kimmy had made burgers when we got to their house, but we were both too full to eat. We all started working after everyone was done eating. It went pretty fast and the roof sections went up easier than I thought they would. They all worked together and got it finished and even got the light hung inside. Adam and Hope moved the swings up on the deck and we all carried parts of the bird feeders. It is so nice and comfy sitting under the gazebo and you can see the bird feeders perfectly. Kimmy and family are sure going to love sitting under it and enjoying the outside. I know she will love it as much as I love ours. We came home and stopped at Cottage Creamery on our way. Yum! It was the most delicious ice cream. My favorite. We came home, read our Bibles, and I worked on the blog. I got over 18,000 steps yesterday and the day before and 13,000 today. I’m hopefully getting back in shape. |
