Picture Eli sent me of his new workshop beginning
Isaac...he was so sweet today and made me a delicious coffee
Eli...we had lots of laughs with Eli today
Peyton was too cold to take the blanket off for the picture.  Later we moved to the sunroom and were just right.
Eli and Isaac
Peyton relaxing and looking cute and quite comfortable
Lucy...Vikki had shaved part of her and had to finish, but I thought she looks so cute like this
I texted Abi to send me a picture of her and Jacob on their date today

This was their cute lunch


The last of the corn.  It was too small to pick a week ago, but boy did it grow.  

Ate the leftover Flatbread sandwich...It was so big I couldn’t even finish this half

Kimmy brought Eli to pick up the anvil

Eli sent me pictures of his anvil attached to his workbench



I got up at 7:30, got ready and went to my dentist appt.  Had X-Rays and then a cleaning.  My dentist came in to check my teeth and noticed a tiny start of a cavity under my crown.  He said the crown was good and wanted to fix the cavity.  The hygienist took me to check out and set up an appointment for next week.  She had me wait in the waiting room until the receptionist was off the phone.  Then another girl came and got me and said if I wanted my tooth fixed today, the she would prepare a room and the dentist would do it right away.  I was happy to just get it done while I was there.  It was so small, he just gave me two shots of Novocain.  He asked me if it felt numb and I said no.  Then he poked my gum a couple of times and I didn’t feel a thing.  He fixed it and it didn’t take long at all.  I was very happy that he just numbed what he had to and my whole mouth didn’t feel numb.  My dentist is so nice and a great dentist.  

I went to Menard’s to pick up paint and frog tape because I was going to surprise Bill and paint the metal around the Motorhome mirror.  

I went to Vikki’s and hung out with her, Kimmy, Eli, Peyton and Isaac.  I FaceTimed with Melissa right when I got to Vikki’s.  They are going to Tawas camping and I am going to take care of their guinea pigs and water her plants.  I got good instructions, plus enjoyed talking to Melissa for a while too.  It was a nice relaxing visit with a delicious cold brew coffee from Vikki and then a hot coffee Isaac made me.  Vikki made a pizza.  I took the left over potato salad and Kimmy and I split that.  I left some in the refrigerator at home for bill.  We sat on the sun porch at Vikki’s for a while after sitting in the living room.  I was happy to be in a warmer spot for a while.  Then we moved out to the front porch and sat there for a while.  We came back in and I left shortly after. getting all my hugs before doing so.  It sure was fun at Vikki’s.    Eli is sure excited about his new workshop.  While they were cleaning it up, they found out it used to be an apartment.  It had carpeting they had to tear out and it even had a place for a toilet, which went to the septic.  That would have been something to see when it was all together. 

I got home and decided I had better ask him if I should do it because it would be dry to handle in 9 hours which would be good, but not considered totally dry until 24 hours.  We are supposed to get rain around 3 a.m.  Well, he told he he had already done it.  There is no surprising him for his birthday whether you buy him something or plan to do something.  What a stinker.  I went out to look at it and both sides looked great.

He told me he sold the trailer today to a guy at church.  Kimmy and Eli came over for a quick stop to pick up the anvil that was Bill’s dad’s or grandpa’s.  I ran out to quick take a picture and at least say hi.  I just caught them as they were about to drive out the driveway.  So glad I did and could get a picture.  We went to look at an aluminum one he saw that he liked.  It is really nice and so much lighter to hall when we travel with the motorcycle.  We’ve been praying for a nice one and a good price.  He’s going back tomorrow to see if he can wheel and deal.  He’s pretty good at that.  

We came home and I watered some plants, and washed some dishes that couldn’t go in the dishwasher.
