Monday, 8/25/25, Happy Birthday to my nephew Mark, We love you!, Bill took my car for an oil job, then went to Camping World, I packed things in the camper, went grocery shopping, Bill had an Elder’s meeting, I went to Jacks than Melissa’s,

Evan’s first day of high school!  

Vader got his picture taken on the first day, but Max didn’t want his taken

Max’s first day back at college for his 2nd year

  

I got stuff put in the camper just as it started to pour.  I had picked up a piece of pizza and a pop from Sam’s Club and ate my lunch out there and then put the groceries away.  The two guys working on the neighbors lawn, got caught in it.  They kept working and then even though it was pouring out, blew the grass of the driveway along with lots of water.

Enjoying this now.  When I get back from our camping trip, it may be done.

Another favorite is my Limelight Hydrangea.  Every year it gets the prettiest blossoms on it.

This is a picture of Badger when he was a show dog

Bill got ready, packed his clothes in the camper, and then left to take my car for the 10,000 mile oil change.  Then he had to return some wiper blades for the motorhome that didn’t have all the parts in the boxes.  He picked up two more but made sure they had everything in them.  He filled my car with gas while he was out too.  Thank you sweetie!

I packed my stuff for our camping trip in clothes baskets.  I was going to take them out to the camper, but I took one load of hanging stuff and it started raining right after I got in the house. I turned the refrigerator on so it would be cool when I got back with groceries later.  I decided I would go get groceries at Meijer and Sam’s Club while it was raining.  It quit before I got out the driveway.  Yay!  I stopped at Macsoods and picked up a box of Chlorine.  I’m going to add some to the pool before we leave.  After that I got what I needed at Meijer, then got the other stuff on my list at Sam’s Club.  I got a huge piece of pizza and a large pop for 2.39 at Sam’s.  I brought it home and ate it for lunch.  Bill had two pieces left from G’s that he ate.  I ended up eating mine in the camper while I waited for the rain to stop.  

It was done raining by the time I finished eating.  We had a few short downpours today.

I loaded my stuff in the camper.  I always load it in my car and then drive back to the camper and put it in.  Kit Kat came back there, but when she went to go in the camper, I told her no and she obeyed right away.  I guess she learned her lesson from when I threw her out quickly last time because I had plastic taped down for when I painted and I didn’t want her ripping it up.  I really gave her a good throw.  She landed ok, but was a little startled.

I came in to take a short nap after that.  Bill left to go to the Elder’s meeting.  When I woke up, I went to Jack’s to get some bird food and some lunchmeat, cheese, a roast and some sirloin burgers.  I was going to wait until tomorrow morning, but since Bill was gone, I did it tonight.  I stopped at Melissa’s on my way home and picked up my Owala I had forgot there.  Max and Evan came and gave me big hugs and Evan told me about his first day at high school.  Jack didn’t start today because the let the Freshman get used to things on their first half day without distractions.  They even served them free Jimmy John Subs.  Evan didn’t eat his because it had cheese on it.  I told him even Papa takes the cheese off a sub and eats the sandwich.  Melissa was wishing he would have brought it home for her.  

She had me eat some of the tin foil dinner Bruce made for dinner.  It was so delicious.  Thanks Melissa!  

I came home and put stuff away, then read my Bible and prayer books.  Bill got home and I went over and gave me stuff from his meeting to look over.   Then I worked on my blog.
