Thurs. June 20, 2024, Caught a raccoon, haven’t seen any chipmunks, went to RV places to look for vents, spent the afternoon at Vikki’s, went to Sam’s Club

Lily from Kenzie opened today.  It has two more blossoms on it.

We got an inch of rain last night.  Sure made stuff in the garden grow.  Peyton sure planted those rows of corn straight.

Isaac had fun in the basement with his oculus

Hailey came out and talked to us when we got to their house too pick up Eli

Hydrangeas are beautiful

Carpet roses are just amazing this year

Knock out roses are so pretty too

Day lilies are amazing this year

My ferns have multiplied out in the little woods.  I started out with two of this kind and now have 15.  I moved 3 along the north side of the house.  I love ferns.

Bill had to get up early because he had to have a stress test at 7:30.  It was a nuclear stress test.  He blacked out when having it done because his blood pressure dropped low.  Praying for good results.  We went to Midland to the RV place where we got our motorhome to find a vent with a fan Bill liked.  We didn’t see any we liked there.  We went to Camping World after that and got one there.  We picked up a collapsible ottoman for Wes and Gayla for their camper.  Gayla has wanted one, but don’t think she has got one yet.  We decided to surprise her.  Bill dropped me off at Vikki’s on our way back to Saginaw to visit with her and Kimmy.  She made us French Toast with strawberries and syrup when we got there.  Bill ate his plain and cold.  Yuck.  Mine were delicious.  He left to go home.  I called Melissa to see if Bruce was home working on call.  He was.  I asked her if he could go help dad with the vent for the camper.  I didn’t want Bill getting up on the roof with his knee replacements, sore leg and then almost passing out today.  I was happy when Bruce said he’d call and go over right away.  He got there before Bill did.  He measured and took pictures of what Bill wanted to see up there.  We have such great son in laws.  They are really Bonus Sons.  

Kimmy had to take Adam to his soccer practice, so we left Vikki’s at 5:30 to go pick up Eli.  He was supposed to be ready when we got there, but there was a mix up in communication and Eli’s phone battery was very low, so we had to drive around their subdivision and find them.  We drove around Melissa’s section and didn’t find them, so went the other direction.  We found them pretty fast and were happy about that as we thought we were going to have to stop and pick up a blue shirt for Adam.  Everything worked out and Jared was going to bring the shirt.  We went back to Melissa’s and picked up Eli’s stuff and then headed to my house.  When we got to my house Adam and I went in and he went to the bathroom, while I filled his water jug with ice and cold water.  Then they left and had plenty of time to make it there on tie because Adam always likes to be early.  Good thing since they needed the extra time this time.

We both ate Kenzie’s spaghetti she sent home with me.  It was so good again tonight.  I went to Sam’s Club and got things I needed for our camping trip.  Tomorrow I will get the rest of what I need at Meijer, Aldi and Jack’s.  I loaded some stuff I got in the camper.  

I got the tent out of the camper with Bill’s help and will set it up tomorrow to make sure everything is there that’s needed for Hailey and Brianna when they come the 28th and 29th and anyone else who comes up and wants to sleep in the tent during our 2 week stay..  It’s a nice 6 person tent.  Bill gave me a battery powered fan that has a light around it they can use too, and I have inflatables for their sleeping bags to go on.  We have to get planning our yearly Tawas Day because we all always look forward to that.  

I set the raccoon trap again, just to make sure I got them all.  Had to spray it out good from the messy raccoon this morning.
