Monday, 2/9/26, Bill met Greg Young, I went to Marie’s, went to Fred and Lourdes’s for dinner and games

We sure had fun and lots of laughs playing Donkey with Fred and Lourdes

I got up at 8 and watched the first half of the 20 year celebration of Elevation church.  I had

seen the second half yesterday with Kimmy and Vikki.  It is such an awesome church that has touched so many lives.  They have done 38,000 baptisms in those 20 years. They have the best worship and the pastor preaches the Word of God.  It was an amazing 20th Celebration.  I am so thankful Bill and I got to go visit there a couple of years ago.  

Bill got up and got ready and then left to go Meet Greg Young at Leskow's.  It was closed, so they had to go find another restaurant to eat breakfast at.  I read my Bible and did my prayer books.  I ate some leftovers from last night’s snacks, then left to go visit Marie and Roy.  Roy had a few errands and then had a doctor appt. so he was only there about 15 minutes.  Marie and I had a great visit and then before it was time I had to leave, we prayed over each other.  I am so thankful for praying friends.  I headed home after that.  Bill was taking a nap when I got home, so I rested for 15 minutes then asked if we were leaving for his brother’s house.  We had told him we would be there at 4.  Bill wanted to rest longer, so we left at 3:30 instead.  I texted to let his brother know we would be coming later.  It was still light out and there were lots of deer and turkey in many fields.  I prayed for God to hold the deer back so we wouldn’t hit one. We got there and sat in the living room and visited for a while, gave their dogs some attention, and looked at baby pictures because Lourdes’s son Bernardo and his wife just had a baby girl two months ago.  They live in Washington State, but her two sons both just sold their houses and are moving back to Michigan.  Lourdes is very happy about that. Lourdes showed me where the plates, bowls etc were and I set the table.  She had made delicious vegetable soup and homemade Portuguese Bread.  Both were delicious.  We ate my butterhorns for dessert.  After we cleared the table, we played two games of Donkey.  Bill won the first one and I got stuck with the donkey.  I won the next game and Lourdes got stuck with the Donkey.  Both games were suspenseful but also included lots of laughs.  We left and got home at around 9:30.

I worked on my blog, then relaxed for a while.  Bill relaxed next to me on the loveseat recliner.  

I talked to Vikki today and Peyton texted with me.
