Pictures of Evan’s Washington DC trip. Even is the 3rd from the left

It rained on our way to Horton.  Rainy but still pretty in the woods

One house which doesn’t have a wide yard on the left of this and then Kenzie’s house. Yikes! Too close for comfort.

Rehvyn loved being on Papa’s shoulders

I was sure loving how Rehvyn was wanting me to hold him so much.  My heart was happy!

Love how cute Kenzie’s porch is!  Fun to sit on her swing!

Happy Bill found this nice windmill for me.  He’s been looking and wanted to get me one before Mother’s Day.  He found it, had Kimmy and Vikki check it out, and we went and picked it up today! It’s beautiful.

 I got up early, got ready and went to Meijer to take my receipt and coupons in and have them taken off my visa.  It came to $4.75.  Good thing I have Prius because it doesn’t use much gas especially for that short trip. I got home and found out Maddy and her family left a day early for their family vacation in Texas.   I let Kimmy know, so she came over to spend the day.  We had coffee and a muffin.  We talked to Vikki lots.  She was really sick last night because of her new medicine.  The doctor had her stop taking it.   After a while she started feeling a little better.  When we hung up she was going to take a little nap before picking up the kids.  She had vegetable lasagna and I had regular lasagna for lunch.  We all had ice cream for dessert.  Bill met Jeremy from church to mentor him.  It went really well.  His mom messaged me and was so happy and so were we.  He’s going to have a great testimony! 

Kimmy and I walked outside to look at all of my plants.  They are doing so well. We went to Meijer to get gas for $1 off up to 30 gal.  Yay, we got it for $2.15.  It sure was nice hanging out with Kimmy today. Missed Vikki and Melissa.    

Kimmy dug up the small Columbine plant and also some Hens And Chicks to take home with her.  

Bill got home and we went to Horton to pick up a windmill Bill found on Facebook marketplace.  It was a nice drive, then it started raining.  Still was ok, but I like riding when it’s sunny out.  

Headed to Kenzie’s next to pick up our generator and look at the storm damage by their house.  She invited us to eat breakfast sandwiches with them. We drove by the storm damage on Kenzie’s road.  So many trees broken and fallen, plus the power pole.  So so close to their house too.  One house between them and the downed trees.  So thankful it missed them.  

We got to Kenzie’s and Rehvyn came right up to me and held out his hands and said up.  Snuggled him for a few minutes, than took my coat off. He wanted back up, so I picked him up for a few more minutes.  I put him down to take my shoes off.  He kept holding his hands out and saying up. I love this phase because I got to hold him lots. He was so sweet.  Travis, papa and I all played catch with him too.  Then we all ate delicious egg, sausage, and tater tot sandwiches. They were delicious!  Thanks Kenzie and Travis!  We had so much fun during our visit and loved the food.

We headed home after that.  When I got home I texted pictures of my windmill to the girls.  Kimmy texted me pictures of her new swing and Vikki had already texted me a picture of her new chairs and cushions.  I saw a swing that is exactly what Melissa has been looking for on Facebook Marketplace and sent her a picture.  She had just seen it herself and had already sent Bruce a picture.  I sure hope she gets it.  It is like new and much cheaper than what swings are going for in stores now days.   Had a long talk with Melissa too which I loved.
