Monday, 4/28/25, Got groceries, made 2 meatloafs and mashed potatoes, Had my first oriole visit several times, he kept moving before I could get a good picture, I couldn’t sit out too long, so will have to take one tomorrow

The oriole is actually in the tree above the orange jelly feeder, but I couldn’t find him in the 4 pictures I took.  He was pretty high up though.

I went to Jacks and got burger to make meatloaf.  I also got sirloin burgers, and a roast.  The roast I thought looked good had lots of fat on the bottom.  I asked the girl if I could trade it and got a much better one, that is just the right size and not loaded with fat.  

I went to Aldi after that to get potatoes because Jack’s only had 5 lb. bags.  I got there and got lots of stuff I needed, but forgot the potatoes.  Didn’t realize it until I got home.  Bill had the garden tilled and the antifreeze drained out of the motorhome.  He was sure busy.  

I ate a sandwich and some cottage cheese for lunch, then went back to get the potatoes I found.  I mixed up stuff for 2 meatloafs, then put them into pans and put them in the oven.  I also peeled enough potatoes for us and for Debbie and Jeff.  I put them on to cook and made a salad up.  When everything was done, Bill ate.  I packed up some of everything and went to Debbie’s.  I offered to bring her a meal, and since tonight was the Elder’s meeting, I timed it so I could take it to her right after Jeff left for the Elder’s meeting, so I would be there while he was gone.  That’s what they wanted and it worked good for me.  I put the food on the table, then we prayed and Debbie ate.  She wanted me to eat, but I wasn’t hungry yet.  She kept saying how good everything was and how hungry she was.  I knew meatloaf was her favorite. I washed and dried some dishes for her, then she wanted me to sit and visit with her.  We had. a nice visit, then I anointed her and prayed over her to be healed from her hip surgery and also an awful rash from her medication.  She prayed tool. I’m so thankful for friends who know the power of prayer.  Melissa called me while I was there and told her hi.  I got ready to leave, and my BFF Vikki called me to let me know how her mom who is in the hospital right now is doing.  She still isn’t doing real well.  I had told Debbie she was going to call me at 9, but she called earlier.  I just said a quick goodbye and left so I could talk on the phone.  I was glad to catch up on how her mom was.  More prayer needed.  She is going to keep me posted.  

When I got home, Bill was already home.  I was glad because I know that Jeff must have gotten home right after I left, so Debbie didn’t have to be alone long.  I ate when I got home.  I was hungry by that time, so it tasted good to me too.  I washed the pans afterward and put dishes in the dishwasher.  Then I came in and sat in my recliner by Bill and worked on my blog.  It was another great day of no itching and rash healing.  It is supposed to take 7 to 10 days, but it’s working right away for me just like it did for my friend, Nancy.  Praising and thanking the Lord!
