Saturday, 5/31/25, Took Sue to Aldi’s to get groceries, took Peyton home, went to Lapeer, won $250 worth of things at fundraiser,

Jim, Bev and Jim’s Guardian that was appointed for his Honor Flight in June

Bill and I at the fundraiser dinner for the Honor Flight.  The food was so delicious.

Bev by her bike.  She just started driving it again after having shoulder surgery

Bill loaded all of the $250 worth of stuff we won in the motorcycle.  I was pretty amazed that he could fit everything in it, especially the wagon in the trunk.  I carried the blue beach blanket on my lap, with the strap over my shoulder.  

On our ride home.  It was very windy.  We were happy to get home sweet home.
Below are the pictures of what we won!

Nice chair set with umbrella, cooler storage and pockets we won

Nice almost 7 ft. x 7 ft. Beach blanket we won with the chair set

Nice Wagon we won with the chair set

 

Pretty wrapped Store’s gift box we won

This is what was in the S'mores gift box...a Nice wire basket, graham crackers, 4 marshmallow expandable roaster sticks, square marshmallows, Hershey bars and mosquito spray (the sunscreen is in the picture, but came with the beach chair set)

Ha Ha, Bill and I took a selfie in the chairs.  They are really comfy and the umbrella covers all of us!

Started the day out by picking up my friend Sue and taking her to Aldi’s to get groceries she needed.  She had made her list out so it was easy.  I picked up a few things I needed too and we kept them separate in the cart.  We saw Sarah, Nathan, and their new baby who is 5 months old, Thor, in the store and talked to them for a while.  We packed up our groceries and I took her home and carried things in for her and helped her put some of the groceries away.  She gave me a nice long hug and thanked me and prayed for me.  She is really missing Charlie who died last August.  I can’t even imagine how hard that would be.  

I took Peyton home and on the way I was thinking of how I always said a scripture to Kenzie on the way to school or wherever I took her. I would usually say Psalm 103:1-5 to her because I wanted her to memorize it.  I was thinking of that, but then I started thinking I should tell her the scripture that says Seek Ye first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you.  I was going to tell her it when I got to her house before she got out of the car.  Well Kimmy called, and we talked to her and I completely forgot about it.  I had given Peyton $5 and told her it reminded me of a cute video she sent me.  Well when I got to her house, before she got out of the car, she told me she hid it on me.  She got out to get her stuff out of the backseat and I saw it hidden under something in the cup holder.  I quick threw it out the door just before she shut it.  I locked the car right away, making her take it.  

When I drove and was about a mile away, a new song came on the radio.  It was Seek Ye first the Kingdom of God and was so beautiful.  I knew God was letting me know I needed to call Peyton and tell her that Scripture.  I love it when God does those things.  

Bill and I got ready and left on the motorcycle to meet Jim and Bev in Lapeer for a fundraiser for the Veteran’s Honor Flight.  They had such yummy food and desserts.

We had a nice time visiting with Bev and Jim and also Jim’s appointed guardian for the honor flight and his wife.  Bill’s honor flight guardian called him and it is a 40+ year old lady.  That seems kind of weird.  There were a few ladies at the dinner who were guardians for the honor flights.  We will have to meet Bill’s and see what we think.  You would think they would put men with men.  We won a S’mores basket first with a blue ticket.  Then we won the beach chair set with a red ticket.  We had only bought 3 red tickets.  We were amazed we won and were very happy.  Bill thought we could get everything loaded on the Trike.  I wasn’t so sure.  He was right thought.  We did!  I carried the blue beach blanket on my lap which was easy.  

We had to ride in some pretty strong wind, so we were very happy to get home.  I worked more on my Sunday School lesson when I got home after we went through everything ad added up the prices.  Unbelievable that it added up to $250.  Such a blessing from the Lord.

I FaceTimed with Vikki, then Kimmy, then Melissa.  That’s the order they called me.  It was fun showing them and talking to them.  They are always so happy when we get blessed.  We are when they get blessed too.  Family Love!  Eli talked to me on FaceTime and let me know how hard he worked taking the old fence down and rolling it up and carrying it.  He got sunburned too, but says it’s a tan and it doesn’t burn at all.  I prayed with them in agreement that it won’t.  I am super proud of how hard he worked and how helpful he is.
