Me, Evan and Melissa    Columbine is loaded with beautiful blossoms. Close up below       |
I got ready, then picked up Melissa and Jack to go to the Music Festival at Valley. We visited on the way there so much, Jack forgot to put on his headset and listen to his music he said. He had the day off from school and was just going to help volunteer for it. We got there and went in to the Choir room to hear Evan in the choir. They sounded amazing, especially in the second song. The judge had all good things to say about their singing and their energy. We saw Ginny, Eric, Ally and Luke. Gave them hugs and talked to them as we left and walked outside. We came back in the main entrance and went and listened to Daniel sing his solo. He did great. We went out in the cafeteria and Melissa had a cookie and I had a brownie like cookie we bought. They were yummy. It was fun seeing Jack and Evan when they weren’t busy. Lots of kids who were in the play with them, kept coming up to them. They all bonded during their many days of practice. It was neat to see them being friends now. The young kid who played the part of Bruce and had an amazing singing voice, was around Evan lots. I had given Evan $10 for snacks and he brought me $5 back. Bruce was kidding him and asking him for it. I told Bruce he did such a great job in the play, he could have the $5. He was so thankful and thanked me a few times during the rest of the time we were there. Next we went and listened to a couple more kids we know sing. They did great too. We ate a pretzel and cheese, then Evan came and told us they moved up their song and were doing it now. We went and listened to him sing with 7 of his friends. They did a great job and got lots of good compliments from the judges. The judge also gave them things to work on to sound even better. They always encourage the kids after listening to them and try to make them better. The judges are amazing how they know so much and tell them things to try and have them try them. They sound so much better after they do what they tell them to do. At around 12:30, we went to Culver’s and got kids meals. We were to full to get the Sundae, so just saved the coupon. We went back to the school and shortly after we got there it was time to go listen to the band. The band from Owosso played first and even though it was a really small group, they did amazing. Evan’s band was next. Evan did a great job playing and keeping the beat.
We found Jack, and he was staying to help and just wanted his dad to pick him up at 3:30. Evan came with Melissa and I. He had tried to get a KONA snow cone, but they had closed up. I stopped at 7-11 and gave him money for a slurpy. He was very happy and so polite. Jack and Evan were so nice and so well behaved today. I was very proud of both of them.
I dropped them off, then headed to Kroger to pick Bill up a Tim Horton’s gift card. I went to Aldi after that and got a few things. Melissa called me to see if I was home. I told her where I was and she said Jack’s headset was still in my trunk. I wasn’t far from their house, so took it there and dropped it off. Then headed home because I had drumsticks in the car I didn’t want melting.
When I got home, Bill called me and said he and Max had gone to Clare to Jay’s. Then they went to Midland to get a hamburger. He wanted to know if I wanted to go out for ice cream when he got home. Of course I said yes. I sat on the deck and watched birds for a while and read my Bible and prayed. Vikki called me and we talked for a while. Jacob worked at his Aunt Debbie’s today weeding and planting some flowers. She had lots of weeds in rocks and all over. Matthew stayed outside with him most of the time which Jacob liked and I know Matthew did too. Debbie said Jacob was a really hard worker and did a great job. Debbie got them pizza for lunch. She’s paying Jacob $15 per hour which is nice for him to earn some money. Monday he starts his new official job that Bruce told him to apply for. Hopefully, he will be working with Hailey too. She started a week ago. Jacob, Adam and Eli are going back to Debbie’s on a weekend to plant the rest of her plants when she gets them. I talked to Kimmy to find out about Jacob’s day and Hope was there and said she wants to go help too.
I worked until he got home and got lots done. Just a small area on the South side of the house left now. Got the new flower garden all done too. Put the sprinkler on it when I was done. Watered the ground cover Kimmy and I planted with the sprinkling can and filled the big bird bath. Watered some other plants that were planted last week too. Came in the house and we decided to just have ice cream here. Put bananas, cashews, chocolate chips, and chocolate syrup on our ice cream. I had strawberries on mine with no chocolate syrup. It tasted so good. I texted Evan then texted Melissa to tell him to read it. Melissa called instead because something needs to be reset so Evan can text again. Bill had watched all the videos of Evan singing today and his band videos. He thought he did great, so wanted to tell Evan so. We both talked to him and told him how much we liked watching the videos, how great he did and how proud we were of him.
Kimmy called me and Adam wants us to come celebrate his birthday tomorrow night, so we have that in our schedule. Love celebrating this amazing kid. All of our grandkids are pretty amazing!
