Thursday, 8/7/25, The rain helped my plants look much better, went to Vikki’s, went to doctor appt., went to get X-Rays, Bill had surprise he got me waiting, Facetimed with Kimmy and talked to her lots, did some trimming,Went to Miles Market for Smash burger with Melissa,

My Hibiscus is so beautiful and has so many buds and blossoms.  It sure has grown since last year.  It’s leaping!!!
Peyton, Rehvyn and Isaac!  I’m so glad I got to spend time with them this morning.


This was the surprise Bill had in his Jeep when he told me he had a surprise for me.  Such a great surprise.  We charged the battery right away.  I went to pick up some Cleaning Spray for it at Ace Hardware.  Then I came home and tried it out.  Kimmy told me to let it do the work and it sure did!  How easy.  What used to be hard jobs were actually easy and fun.  Thank you Bill for such a great surprise,  I love you!  
A baby coyote was lying in the road dead this morning.  I looked at it quickly to make sure it wasn’t Kit Kat.  It looked like a cat at first, but it didn’t have much fur and had long pointed ears.  Then I decided it was a weird looking dog.  I had to leave to get to Vikki’s.  I had so much fun visiting with them.  Rehvyn came to me right away and wanted me to pick him up.  I did but as soon as I sat down he wanted off my lap. Lucy wanted on my lap though.  I gave her some attention.  Peyton came in the room and Rehvyn really wanted her to pick him up.  Rehvyn had lots of fun with his cars on the table Vikki knew he would like playing with them on.  I played with his cars for a while with him.  He gave me two fist bumps.  Then when I had to leave he gave me a kiss.  Such a sweet great grandson!  I’m glad Vikki reminded me to take a picture.  Then I hugged them and left for my Dr. Appt.  It went well.  She ordered X-Rays for me to find out what’s causing the pain in my legs. 

When I got home, Bill asked me if I saw the dead baby coyote.  That’s when I knew for sure what it was.  He gave me my surprise out of the Jeep.  It was a Stihl HSA 26 trimmer and grass clipper set.  I was so happy and thankful.  What a great and thoughtful gift.  He saw a picture of Kimmy’s that she just got and decided to bless me.  We charged it right away.  I called Kimmy to tell her.  I ended up FaceTiming her to show her what the baby coyote looked like.  Then I took a picture and sent it to her because you can zoom in and see it lots better.  Poor thing.  I sure don’t like all of these coyotes around though.  I went to ACE Hardware and got the Stihl cleaner spray for it so I could use it and then spray it afterwards.
Everything I used it on was so easy to trim.  Yay!  I won’t mind trimming now.  Kimmy was very happy for me.  I went to get my X-Rays at Covenant M.  Happy I could get in and out so fast.  

I finished trying it out and then went an picked Melissa up and we went to Miles Market and split a Smash Burger.  They are so good there and getting $3 off was a bonus.  We shared some potato salad too, but Melissa didn’t take much.  It was in a little glass bowl.  It was dark in the restaurant and the table top was black and the floor was black, so some how I didn’t see the edge of the table and off the potato salad went and the cup broke and potato salad was all over the floor.  The girl that waited on us came and cleaned it up and was so nice.  She brought me more potato salad too.  I left a big tip for her for all of her help and her cheerful attitude.  I love it when young people are so kind and helpful.  I dropped Melissa off at home after that and she went in and got me a couple of things she would like Kimmy to sew for her since she’s coming over tomorrow.  

I picked up all of the stuff I trimmed off of things when I got home and hauled the cart to the front and dumped the stuff into the trash cans.  I took it out again and got another load.  
Yay to have that done.  I took the clothes I washed and hung off the line, folded them and brought them in and put them away.  

Then Bill and I relaxed and I worked on my blog.

Max loved standing in the snow on the mountain.  He ran to it quickly and beat us getting there.
