Friday, 3/14/25, SpaceX launch to rescue 2 astronauts stuck in space since June 6! Praying for God’s good success! Thankful for the wisdom and skill He gives people! Kimmy and Vikki came over, Jacob came over, Melissa came over, Jared and Eli came over, Eli has to have an ultrasound on his kidneys today. Lots of visitors kept coming , So much fun! Emmy the black Goldendoodle came with Vikki...she’s so cute and reminds us all of Wyatt

Papa and Jacob 

Working on setting up the new treadmill

Eli at his Ultrasound

Jacob warming up to Emmy the Goldendoodle.....she doesn’t like men for some reason

Isaac and Evan on this 73 degree day!

Peyton....so nice to be able to wear short sleeves

Happy to see Jack on this beautiful day too

We all loved Emmy!  Such a sweet dog!

My treadmill (I will have to take a picture of it in the house tomorrow).  It folds up small as the picture shows. 

Vikki took this cute picture of Kit Kat outside

Bill and I went to Old Town for coney dogs, fries and root beers...So good

Eli at his Ultrasound.  Kimmy sent me the picture.

I got up early, got ready and went to the lab to have my bloodwork done.  I was there by 6:45 and one person was leaving, and I was the only one in the waiting room then.  I got called back right away and the girl did a great job and I didn’t even feel it.  Yay!  It was still dark out and the moon was out when I headed home.

I relaxed on my recliner and went back to sleep until, Kimmy got here.  Vikki came right after.  I made Starbucks coffee and we had coffee and muffins that I picked up from Sam’s.

We were happy to meet Emmy, the dog Vikki is watching.  She is beautiful and such a nice dog.  It sure made us think of Wyatt and the great dog he was.  It was good for us all to have a dog who reminded us so much of our Wyatt.  

Jacob got here and I got my big hug.  It’s so nice having him home so he can come visit.  I love spring break for college kids.  Hailey is still on her trip.   Bill and Jacob decided to go look at a treadmill for upstairs for me for my birthday.  The one we had gotten didn’t have hand grips.  Kimmy tried ours and wanted it, so Bill texted  the guy who was coming to look at it today and told him it was gone.  Jared sent Apple Pay for my birthday gift (the treadmill) and for what Kimmy paid for the treadmill.  Bill and Jacob set up the new treadmill, but couldn’t get it to work.  They ended up taking it apart and going back to the store and getting a different one.  They came home and put it together while we girls (Melissa came over too) visited out on the deck in the 73 degree weather.  We came in and tried it when they said it was ready.  It worked right as soon as they got it set up.  It is so nice and easy and also folds up small. We all really liked it.  Happy Early Birthday to me! (and Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day, and Happy Early to Bill) lol.  Thank you Bill, Kimmy, Vikki, Melissa and families!  Kimmy sent me a picture of hers and it looks really nice where they put it.  Now Kimmy, Vikki and I have them upstairs and handy....we can go girls go.

    

Sweetie Rehvyn today...Kenzie sent these and she faceTimed Vikki & us

Kimmy’s treadmill. It also folds up flat and goes against the wall

We sat outside for quite a while and  had Mac and cheese for lunch.  Jared and Eli came over too because Eli had to go for an ultra sound of his kidneys at 4.  Jared and Kimmy walked Emmy outside and Jared got her to like him.  Everybody left, then I went over to Melissa’s because Vikki went there and I called to see if she was home.  She wasn’t.  I stayed there until I thought Bill was done meeting with a person who called the church, Mick, and Paster Dan.  I left when I figured they would be about done and waited in the parking lot of Tim Horton’s where they were.  Bill brought him over to the car so I could meet him.  They had a great talk about the Lord and he and his family are going to come to church Sunday.  

I left my car at Bringer Inn and rode with Bill to Old Town Drive In.  It was delicious.  Bill headed home and I was a ways behind him and planned to stop and get ingredients for Lemon Meringue Pie.  I called Vikki and she said SpaceX was going up in 10 minutes.  I stopped at her house since I was only a couple of blocks away, and watched it go up.  So thankful the two astronauts are going to be rescued.  It was so amazing to watch it.  I stopped at Meijer and got what I needed, then came home.  Beautiful weather and beautiful family day!
