I went upstairs about an hour before we had to leave for Hope’s graduation party. I knocked on the door and no one answered, I knocked louder two more times and finally heard one of the boys say ok getting up. I came back downstairs and about a half hour later, went back up and knocked loudly again. Finally I heard another ok. I was just about to go back up, when heard the boys coming downstairs. They only had about 20 minutes to eat breakfast and hang out for a little while. We all sat and ate breakfast. They had cereal and I had a bowl of strawberries. Evan liked trying the Hostess Snowball. He said he thought his dad would love them. I told him to ask him if he liked them. Eli took his shower and got ready for Hope’s party, while I took Evan home. We talked about the Lord on the way and I told him about some amazing testimonies God is doing.
I came back home and we all finished getting ready, then left for Hope’s party in the Jeep. Kimmy called to see where we were and she was supposed to get to the party at !!:58 according to her GPS and we were supposed to get there at 12:00. She said right afterwards that they were there already. We got there at 12:02. Vikki got there right after we did. We all had cards with the same color blue envelopes. We greeted Hope and Adam and gave them hugs. Then we all went inside and looked at pictures. Her party was combined with a friend’s who went to school with Adam when he was at the other school. There was a group of papers stapled together labeled Letters to mothers. Well there was the cutest letter Adam wrote in it. We sure did get a good laugh. He was so sweet and so funny. We ate after that. We were by the salads, and saw some yummy potato salad so, we all took some. Then we got other food, which there was plenty of. When we sat down, we tried the potato salad and it was jello salad, not the potato salad our mouths were watering for. We had a good laugh about that. We stayed for a long time, then Vikki asked if we wanted to ride around Amish Country and we did. Bill drove Rody and Isaac home because they didn’t want to. Jared drove us and did such a great job. There were a few thrills around curves, but he kept control. We loved looking at all the Amish houses, with the clothes out on the lines, the horses, cows, sheep and buggies. There was a horse auction at one house and the men were all standing on one side of the house by the barn and on the other side of the house there were women watching kids play on swings. We passed a few buggies with are always fun to see. We went to the Colonville Store and walked around and bought some things. Then we went to an antique store in Beaverton. That was fun to walk through, but it was really cold inside. Jared drove us back to get Vikki’s car at the hall, and Vikki took me home. We stopped at a very nice thrift store, an antique store and another nice store, where Vikki found a white table for outside that she had been looking for. I think it ended up being $8. There was a little paint chipped off of two corners. When the girl said the corner was broke so there would be a discount, Vikki looked to see where it was broken. She meant the chips. Vikki loved the chips in it so was pretty happy. That was a good laugh too. When we got to my house, Peyton and I came in and Peyton got a flavored water and I sent one out to Vikki.
I started hanging some small pictures. My curtains were on the bed all straight after I washed and dried them, so I had Bill help me hang them. They sure wash up beautifully.
I got them from Penney’s have had them for at least 18 years. Never get tired of them.
We got all of the other big stuff hung back up. Sure looks nice. Then we tried our new ice maker. It worked great and was very fast. I finished my blog after that. It was a very fun day.
