Nice to have it organized and have lists and pictures.  Yay!  We also have an empty small bin for shoes, and one on the other side I’m putting water bottles in.  

We got up at 8:30.  Bill read his Bible right away.  I went outside to load the camper refrigerator because I had turned it on last night and wanted it to have stuff in it so it didn’t run a lot.  I also wanted to turn the air on because it was supposed to be aa really hot humid day.  They got that right.  Wish they would have got the rain right.  

I scrubbed bird baths and filled them and filled all of the feeders and put suet out too.  Worked up the soil in my flower garden so it stays nice and weed free.  Also watered where we planted the grass under the huge maple tree because even if it rains, it doesn’t get wet unless it’s a really good downpour.  Bill fixed the combination locks on the back door of the house and on the shed.  They needed readjusting and battery checks.  I was happy he put a new metal handle on the camper door the other day and took off the plastic one that didn’t work so well.  He’s been doing lots of good fixit jobs which I really appreciate.  We changed the filter in the pool today.  The pool is nice and clear, but the filter was out of chlorine tablets so it’s a good thing we checked it.  I will fill the Chlorine tablet floater tomorrow for when we are gone.

I came in and read my Bible.  Today’s reading was Psalm 119.  The longest Psalm and just such a great one.  I loved reading it so much and so many scriptures in it I have memorized.  It really touched my heart so much.  Bill sat next to me and was catching up on his phone stuff.  

We decided to go to Birch Run to General RV around 3:45.  We went to Camping World after that.  I called Hailey and asked if she would want to meet us at Texas Roadhouse and eat with us and she texted back yes right away.  Then I was thinking maybe Melissa would like to come with her and Bill said at the same time to ask if Melissa would want to come and Hailey said yes right away.  We let them know when we would get there and we got there within a few minutes of each other.  Our food was delicious and we sure had a good time.  I forgot to take pictures even though I mentioned it.  Hailey rode back to our house with us and Melissa headed home.  Hailey and I returned pop cans.  She’s been helping me ever since she was little and I sure appreciate her.  She wanted to look in the ladies clothing section after.  She found a really cute pair of green slacks and got them.  I took her home after that as it was getting late and she needs her rest for her hard job.  I gave her my Mr. Coffee pot from the camper that makes regular coffee and also does pods.  I took it in and showed her how to use it and also how to change the filter.  She was happy to have it for her apartment and I was happy it found a good home.  It was nice seeing Jack and Evan and getting my hugs, even though I forgot to take a picture of them too.  

I went back to Meijer and got all the groceries on my list and got to use lots of coupons.  Tomorrow I just have to go to Aldi for three things and to Kroger to use my free Oreo cookie coupon.  Also picking up bread dough for cabbage buns, so I can make some tomorrow.  While I’m out I’m going to drop to nice lamps off to Melody for the Rescue Mission Impact Design Ministry.

I did laundry in the evening.  Just a small load, but good to get it done.  Relaxed in the evening and worked on my blog.  Marie called me today and they are keeping her longer and removing her blood clot tomorrow.  That is answered prayer.  We didn’t want her going home with that problem.  A really wonderful doctor Melissa had when she was in there, got the ball rolling and made sure it’s getting taken care of.  Praise God!  It was a great day.
