Thurs., 4/10/25, Called and wished Roy a happy 90th birthday, went to Bill’s appt. with his brother, Fred’s, surgeon, went to Fred and Lourdes's

We were so happy to see Jacob today!  Fritzy sure likes him

These brothers are starting to look alike

Fred had Jacob take this picture.  We ate burgers and potato salad for dinner, and had my apple pie for dessert.  

We got ready, made our coffee, and then read our Bibles.  We left at 10 to head to Lansing to go to Bill’s neurologist appt.  We got there a half hour early, but they took us back right away.  The visit went well.  She tested his reflexes, etc. and discussed his MRI results with us.  He is doing good right now, so they think the new injections are working good.  No surgery needed now, so that was a great report.  We headed to Fred’s house afterwards and took a drive around their lake before going to their house.  We picked up some ice cream for on our pie when we got to their town.  It was nice to get to visit with Fred and Lourdes, and it sure was an added blessing to get to spend time with Jacob.  

Jacob and Papa went to pick up some potato salad, because Lourdes forgot to get some.  I stayed and visited with them and helped set things on the table for dinner.  Fred grilled the burgers and they tasted great.  We ate our apple pie with ice cream after that.  Jacob just wanted ice cream, because he doesn’t like pie.  I guess I don’t pay much attention on holidays, because I never knew that.  

After dinner, we taught Fred and Lourdes how to play 3-13.  Jacob was scorekeeper and also shuffled the cards for me, and once for Lourdes.  We were glad he had two decks of cards so we could play.  They were new decks too.  We sure had fun!  Fred was the winner, I was second, Bill was third, Jacob was fourth and Lourdes was the big looser.  She told Jacob once time that her score was negative 62.  He didn’t let her get away with that.  Then Fred was talking to Jacob about a card, and Jacob threw him a wild card.  Poor Jacob and happy Uncle Fred.  Jacob still went out that hand.  They really liked playing it.  

We packed up our stuff, and said our goodbyes.  Jacob had told us he had to get ready for his Salt meeting, so he went downstairs.  I yelled down goodbye, but he didn’t hear me.  We left and then I texted Jacob and told him goodbye and sent him a hug.  He answered me right away and was disappointed he didn’t get to hug us and tell us goodbye in person.  

It was a fun day.  So happy Fred and Lourdes moved back here and thankful we get to see them quite often now.  Very happy Jacob has such a nice place to stay and family who cares about him lots.  We are blessed.
