Thurs. 3/19/26, Kimmy came and hung out for a while, then took me to my aunt Bobbie's funeral in Gladwin, We came home and ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, I went for a re check appt. on my surgical eye, Great report, washed some cupboards, and some spots off walls now that I can see lol.

Kimmy driving us in my car to Gladwin to my Aunt’s funeral.  We couldn’t go to the funeral because I had my eye doctor appt. to check my eye after surgery.  They had visitation for 2 hours before the funeral started

Loved going by all of these Amish farms on our drive.  There is a horse and buggy going down the road in this picture. 

My step dad that died when he was 38 with his sisters, my Aunt Bobbie and Carolyn

This is how I remember my aunt looking when I was young.  She was 91 when she passed away, but I hadn’t seen her for a very long time

I caught Bill sleeping tonight...I took a picture and sent it to Melissa lol and told her to send it to him and say we look like twins lol.  

Kimmy and Jared’s cute fenced in chicken coop.  No more eating Kimmy’s nice plants!!!!

Kimmy came nice and early after she dropped Eli off at school.  I was all ready so we hung out until it was time to go to my Aunt Bobbie’s showing before her funeral started.  I hadn’t seen her or my cousins in a long time, but she was really special to me, my mom and my sister when I was a kid.  She came to our wedding and we saw her a few time now and then since than.  Her daughter was a close cousin to us when we were kids too.  Kimmy did a great job driving me as I can’t drive until after my appointment today getting my eye rechecked. It was a nice relaxing drive.  We got there a few minutes early, so we went to the Dollar Store and I found some cross suckers for Easter baskets.  Not many things out there that actually are about the true meaning of Easter.  Very Sad.   I got those and also a cute wind chime for my friend Vikki that I think she will like.  

We went into the funeral home, went up to the casket and my Aunt looked good, then we watched the slideshow.  It was fun seeing all of the pictures and sure brought back some memories.  I finally saw someone I thought I remembered, and went up to her and it was my cousin Cheryl’s oldest daughter.  I remembered her name and talked with her a few minutes.  Then she showed me where her mom was sitting.  I went and talked to her and she remembered me and we cried and hugged.  She loved my mom and I loved hers, plus each other because of playing together so much when we were kids.  She introduced us to her youngest daughter, who was really young the last time I saw her.  I showed them some old pictures of us I brought with me and they loved seeing them.  We said goodbye and left after that so I could be home in time for my eye appt.  It was a great ride home, seeing Amish homes.  When we got back to my house, we ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and had Fritos with it.  I called Bill who was out in the shed and told him we had to leave to go to the eye doctor.  Kimmy had to leave soon to get Eli.  Bill ordered a nice big slider tray for my new coffee pot to sit on.  It slides out so easy to fill and looks so nice.  He ordered it last night and it came today already.  

My eye appointment went great.  The girl tested them and I could read all but the very last row of letters.  She said it was amazing I could see so clearly already.  Then she told me not to worry if after surgery on my other eye, it is blurry for longer because it is very unusual to have it this clear the day after surgery.  Wow!  Such great news.  Then the doctor came in and looked through the machine at my eye and said my vision was almost 20/20.  He said it still clear up a little yet.  He was happy I did so good after surgery!  I was thankful and told him so.  

We came home, ate round steak and mashed potatoes for dinner, then I washed some cupboards that I could actually see some dirt on now.  I also noticed some spots on the walls I washed.  My house will be a lot cleaner now that I can actually see when I clean it.  

I texted with Maddy, talked with Melissa a couple of times, talked with Kimmy and then FaceTimed with Kimmy and Jared so they could help me with my AirPods.  I talked to Vikki for a little while, talked with Sue and also with Laciey.  Worked on my blog and now ready for bed.
