Thursday, 3/27/25, Did laundry, vacuumed and scrubbed the floors, helped Bill place the wench in the right spot on the jeep bumper, went to Rehab to see Marie with Melissa, Zoom meeting with the state leadership in the evening

Evan greeted me right away with a big hug.  I got hugs from Hailey and Jack too, but forgot to take a picture of therm for my blog.

 I slept in this morning and it sure felt good.  Put a load of laundry in when I got up, then ate cereal for breakfast and drank my coffee.  We read our Bibles.  Bill worked on the bumper of his Jeep.  I put worship music on from my playlist and then walked 1 1/2 miles on the walking pad.  I moved the speed up to 3.4 mph.  That’s a pretty fast pace for me.  

I moved stuff, and vacuumed the tile floors downstairs.  Then I started scrubbing the floor on my hands and knees.  By the time I got finished with the kitchen and bathroom, I decided I would do the rest of the floors with a mop.  I was sore because of all the walking and muscle pain from it.  I vacuumed the living room after that.  

I decided to check on Bill out in the shed and took him a bottle water.  He was just getting ready to put the part on the bumper that holds the wench.  I helped put the big hook through to the other side.  I walked around my garden and looked at plants coming up.  I have to dig up some grass patches, but it was way too wet today.  

I went to Melissa’s at 4.  I went in and talked to the kids for a little while, then when Melissa was ready we left to go visit Marie in the rehab.  We walked into her room and neither she nor Roy were in there.  We walked out in the hall to see if we could see her going down it.  A girl came up to Melissa and started talking about when she had her for therapy.  The bright socks Melissa used to wear helped her to remember.  She was very sweet.  After that,  I asked and they told me she was down to the next floor and was visiting a friend.   I knew it was Cosmene’s room because Roy had told me she was in and gave me her room number the night before.  We walked in and they were surprised to see us.  We all had a great visit, sharing lots of good memories and catching up on our families.  When they started bringing food trays around, Roy said we needed to get back upstairs so Marie could eat.  As we were leaving Cos’s husband John came.  We said a quick hi and gave hugs, then went back upstairs to Marie’s room.  I helped Marie with open some seasoning and some pepper up, then Melissa and I left.  I dropped her off, then I went to Aldi and got some muffins and some strawberries, blueberries, avocados and KiWI.  I’m trying to eat more healthy foods.  

When I got home, I ate a cabbage bun and finished the little bit of noodle casserole that was left.  At 7, we had a zoom meeting with the state leadership for CMA.  It went well and only two couples couldn’t make it on.  One had surgery today and the other was in a different country.  The meeting went well.  Bill always does a great job leading it.  

I made bread dough and put it in both bread makers.  I set the timer so it will be done a little before noon tomorrow.  I also made chicken salad up.  Sam’s club is my favorite place to get canned chicken.  After I got everything all set for tomorrow when the girls come, I sat down and started working on my blog.
