Thursday, 9/4/25, Picked the last of the garden except the onions and some green peppers too small to pick. Bill mowed it down, I went shopping for things I’m making for the birthday gathering Sat., went to Jeep night at Apple Mt., Bill had a zoom meeting with State Coordinators.

Rehvyn when I was FaceTiming with him and Kenzie this morning

He is sure talking nice and clear now

CMA decal Bill put on the camper.  It looks so nice.

The garden all mowed down except corn stalks that Misty usually wants, green peppers and onions

At the Jeep gathering at Apple Mountain.  Our Jeep and Rody and Vikki’s Jeep were my favorite

A friend, Doug, from church owns this Jeep

Peyton, Isaac and Rody

I can’t believe some Jeeps park like this. Bill said they just drove up the tire of the other Jeep.  Yikes!

Fun with Vikki, Rody, Peyton and Isaac there

Kimmy sent me these pictures of Eli’s Forge and other stuff he got.  He made the workbench.  He’s sure is a talented guy!

He quenched his first knife from a railroad spike

We got up, read our Bibles.  I went downstairs and vacuumed the basement.  Kenzie video called me and I missed her twice.  She called back and I was upstairs for that one.  Rehvyn was sure the cutest boy today.  He says words so clear.  He showed me his car, sat in his chair for me and gave me kisses when I had to hang up.  I went out and picked the green peppers, lots of tomatoes, and lots of beets.  Bill mowed down what was done.

I showed him where the onions were and the rest of the peppers were so he didn’t mow over them.  The garden sure looks better than all the weeds standing up in it.  I got groceries at Aldi, Sam’s Club, Walmart, and Jack’s.  Got a 50 lb. bag of wild bird food too.  I sure enjoy watching the birds at my window feeders. They come nice and steady.  

Vikki called and let me know they were going to the Jeep show at Apple Mountain.  Bill was home, so I told him about it.  Didn’t know if he could go because he’s having a zoom meeting later.  He found out the zoom meeting was at 8, so that gave him enough time to go.  He called me to come, so I put the groceries that needed to be in the refrigerator, in the one in the garage and then headed to Apple Mt.  The road was closed, so I had to wait for a temporary light and go a country block out of my way.  I got there and parked and called to see where they were.  I found them pretty fast.  It was fun hanging out together and looking

at all the cool Jeeps.  We saw Doug from Church and his wife Amy.  

We left so we could get home in time for the Zoom meeting.  I helped Bill get it on my computer. It went off once, but I got it back on for him.  It was a meeting with the National Evangelist and all of the state coordinators to discuss all the state rallies.  Ours was the last one.  They all went well.  

I made us banana splits afterwards, then worked on my blog.   

 

Wed., Sept.3, 2025, Put things I brought in away, I went to Birch Run, went to Harbor Freight, made eggs, potatoes and bacon for dinner.

Love the Keurig Vikki found for me!  It has the water container on the side and it has a handle on it.  The couple she got it from also put lots of pods in with it....Starbucks regular and some flavors, Newman’s Organic pods, and lots of Donut Shop plain and flavored.  There were at least $40 worth.

I started the last load of laundry from camping in the morning.  We read our Bibles.  I filled the window hummingbird feeder since it was getting low and I saw the hummingbird out there going to it.  Lots of birds at the other window feeder too.  

I set up the new Keurig and brought the pod holder in from the camper and filled it with some of the pods that came with the coffee maker.  I made us both a cup and it sure makes it fast and it tastes so good.  

Bill went out to mow the grass and I left to go shopping for his birthday presents.  I went to General RV and picked up the things for under the jacks he wants from the girls.  I know he is going to be so happy to get them.  Then I went to the Outlet stores to try to find a Good Feet store.  I went into some shoe stores that my Google search said had their inserts.  They didn’t though.  Then I called the ones listed for our town and they didn’t have them either.  Will have to make a trip to Flint soon because they have an actual Good Feet store. 

I got a kids olive burger meal from Culver's.  It was raining pretty steady out.  It rained all the way home, and kind of hard at times, but I could always see the person ahead of me at least.  I got to my neighbor’s driveway and realized I didn’t go to Harbor Freight.  I turned around and went there.  I got Bill two nice, very lightweight chairs for both of us for his Birthday.  They are so nice and come with a tray and pockets to hold lots of things.  I can carry one with two fingers.  He had said he wanted some.   We can put our grey ones in the bags in the garage to take with us when we are in a hurry and don’t want to get ones from the camper.  Our other ones are wearing out that are in the garage.  I sure hope he is surprised and he doesn’t go and try to get anything before his birthday.  He is know for doing that.  

I talked to all the girls today and yesterday too.  Got to talk to Jacob in the background and also Peyton and Isaac.  It was good to catch up since we were so busy at the rally that I didn’t have time to call them.  It is good to be home.  My flower garden stayed weed free while we were gone.  Preen helps.  I had to spray my Hibiscus with Seven’s Dust as there were some bugs on it.  That took care of them. I sprayed them last night which I am glad of.  Today it got washed off.  I will have to keep my eye on it.
