Monday, 6/16/25, Bill’s interview aired on TV5 today. He did a great job. Filled all the bird feeders, blew off the deck, Bill was on TV5’s news for an interview about the Honor Flight, Started opening our pool, packed some stuff in the camper, Vikki and Isaac came to help with the pool,

Pool was clear and only needs to be filtered and vacuumed.  I did get some leaves out but it wasn’t much at all.  Most were in the cover.

Isaac came and helped with getting the steps to the pool cleaned and put in the pool.  Also helped take an oak Amish table apart and move it with Papa so my car could go in the garage

Isaac last night when Rody came to look at the motorhome

Our window is back in.  No more film to try to see through.  I am so glad they could just replace the glass in it.

Flowers the kids picked at Kimmy’s for Abby’s grave.  They are so beautiful!

Abby’s grave with the flowers and pretty rock.

Kimmy and Jared made it so special for Melissa and her family.  After the burial, they talked about memories and looked at pictures, then Jared grilled out and they all ate a good meal together.  This meant so much to Melissa and all of them.  Melissa called me right away when they got home just to tell me how special it was.  I love that we have such a kind hearted family and we are always there for each other.  Every picture has an additional person lol.  

Max and Vader pretty comfy on the swing

Hailey holding one of their chickens.  This is so cute!

Bill read his Bible.  I filled all of the bird feeders, then blew off the deck.  Vikki called and said Kimmy and the boys wanted to come and open the pool.  Bill started draining the water off from the cover.  He went to pick up the window we had fixed and to the bank.  I skimmed the leaves off of the top of the pool cover and moved the pump when the water got low in one spot.  I used my cart the kids got me for Mother’s day to put all the leaves in.  It worked great!  Bill came home and started skimming more leaves off the deck.  I couldn’t find where he put the leaf skimmer so had to use a small skimmer.  He had put it under the deck instead of out in the shed that has the pool stuff.  He used it and got lots of leaves out, but they were so heavy wet, it broke the leaf skimmer.  Whoops.  I went in the camper to rest because my leg was hurting.  Vikki called me.  Kimmy and the boys couldn’t come, but she and Isaac were coming over.  I looked outside and Bill had the cover off the pool and was skimming.  I don’t know how he got the cover off himself, and the pool was crystal clear.  It had a few leaves in the bottom, but not many.  He hooked the pump up while the pool was filling.  I made eggs, fried potatoes and blueberry pancakes for dinner.  I watered plants outside after we ate. Bill packed his clothes and stuff in the camper.  I kept setting timers to check on the pool.  Bill took the garbage out for pick up tomorrow.  He also turned the camper around so when we leave Thursday morning we can just back up, hook the motorcycle trailer up and take off.  We came in and I read my Bible and did my blog.  He gave me the agenda for his Honor flight.  I am so excited for him and so proud of him.
