Wed., 7/23/25, Read my Bible out on the deck, watered the back small garden, Bill and I took everything out of the storage compartments and organized them, put clean sheets on the bed, Stacie came for a visit, Bill picked up Shay’s water, I took back a swim suit to Marshalls, did some shopping, went to Sam’s, we went to visit Marie, watered front plants and small garden again.

Beautiful morning to read my Bible on the deck.  Kit Kat was right by my side

The farmer was combining across the street

Stacie came over for a visit and we hung out in the camper

We had a nice visit with her

She was on her lunch break, so ate her lunch at our table. She looked so beautiful all dressed up and with her beautiful smile.

We drove to visit Marie and in the city there’s a house with a small yard and not in the best area, but the plants and flowers are just amazing in the yard.  I love driving by it!  The front is even prettier.  My pictures aren’t the best.

We slept in til 8:30.  Bill drank his protein drink and then read his Bible.  I started a load of wash, ran the pool filter and watered the back garden with the pumpkins, squash and cucumbers.  Try to get things that take electricity done between the hours of 7 pm at night til 10 am in the morning when it’s cheaper.  After I got that done, I sat out on the deck on the swing and read my Bible with Kit Kat by my side.  It was such a beautiful morning.  I put grape jelly in the feeders and also some oriole liquid food.  I’m all out of bird food, so need to get some today.  

Bill and I organized the storage compartments outside the camper really well.  I wrote down on index cards exactly what is in each bin and will tape it to the door.  I am also going to take a picture of where things are inside the storage containers and will put that inside on the door also to help Bill when he puts things back.  It is so nice having it done and everything fitting so well.

Stacie came over on her lunch time and took a tour of the camper then sat at the table and ate her lunch.  She wanted to pick up lunch for us, but we already had lots of food we need to eat.  We had the nicest visit and she stayed and didn’t have to hurry off.  She saw what she thought was a fox back walking by the neighbor’s pond and then coming into our yard.  

Another one came along the woods a ways behind this one.  The first one didn’t look very healthy.  Bill zoomed in and took a picture.  He let our neighbor know behind us.  He said he’s seen them and thought they are baby coyotes.  When we looked at the picture, that’s what they look like.  He told Bill they didn’t look healthy.

That was our excitement for the day.  Bill had to go get water from Shay’s, and Stacie had to leave to get back to work, so I went to Bay City to take a swimsuit back to Marshall’s.  Today was 30 days and that’s how long I had to take it back.  We’ve been gone lots ever since I got it.  I found a cute top on sale there.  Next I went to Dunham’s to look for shoe laces for Marie.  I found the kind she wanted.  I went to Jack’s and got different kinds of bird food and some suet next.  Then I went to Sam’s Club and got some groceries I need for our camping trip.  I came home and Bill helped me carry everything in.  I put the meat in the refrigerator and then we left to go visit Marie and take her the shoe laces.  Roy was coming out of the door when we got to the entrance door.  Bill helped him take Marie’s things and put them in his car.  Marie is going home on Friday.  She seemed to be doing much better today as far as standing and turning to sit in a recliner chair.  I was happy to see that.  We had a nice visit and I took Marie’s shoes off and took her old laces out (Bill had to cut them in places because they were so bad they bunched up and wouldn’t pull through).  I put the new laces in and they fit perfectly and are so nice and easy.  She said the therapists have been having a hard time with them and so has she.  I was thanking the Lord that they were so easy to find.  We left at around 8:30 and Roy walked out with us.  Bill and I stopped at Woody’s and he got a large hot fudge sundae and I got a medium one.  I did more watering when I got home.  Watered the front area where the new plants are and also watered the garden with the pumpkins in the back again.  Started the refrigerator in the camper, so I can fill it tomorrow.
