Thurs, 4/16/26, Did some cleaning, picked up my friend Lisa and baked cookies with her, ate lunch, took Lisa home, studied the lesson for tonight for group I am leading, made chicken noodle soup

I always get excited when I see this tree blossom...spring is a beautiful time of year, minus so much rain like this year.

Lisa and I had fun making two batches of cookies for her to give the pastors at our church.  She has had health issues, went to U of M for a 5 day stay where they ran lots of tests.  All the tests were good, so we are believing God has healed her.  She is getting stronger and didn’t even need to bring her walker today.  Praise God and all glory to Him!

Love that these flowers are lasting so long.  They must be loving the rain.

Vikki took this wonderful picture of Rehvyn on his motorcycle.  I was trying to get a good one while FaceTiming with him, but this is so much better.

Me FaceTiming with Rehvyn...he is just too cute and smart

Bill putting in the new solar lights for the front we got.  He’s going to move the other ones to the side and back of the house.

I got this pretty lavender plant at Costco too.  Can’t wait til the flower garden in back dries out so I can plant it.

I got up a half hour before Bill this morning.  Moved thing off the kitchen table so it would be clean for baking cookies today.  I drank my coffee, then got ready.  Bill left and went to breakfast with some men from church at Nori’s.  Happy to see him get good fellowship.  I picked Lisa up at 11 and visited with her sweet mom for a while.  We came to my house and baked a batch of M & M cookies and also a batch of chocolate chip cookies.  She wanted help baking cookies the the pastors at our church.  She is one of the sweetest friends I have and God has blessed me with many.  I had lunch made, but she had already ate, so she just had a Bel Vita snack.  I had a chicken salad sandwich. Then Lisa and I tried an M & M cookie because they stuck together and when we separated them, they were like a half of a big cookie.  We decided we should sample them.  We went into the family room and just relaxed and visited for a while.  I had to prepare for leading a small group tonight at our Holy Spirit Bible Study.  Wanted to go over the material again before class.  I took Lisa home and visited with her mom and her a little longer.  I told her mom she would have to come visit our church and she said she would have to do that.  I am praying she comes.   I came home, read my Bible, took an hour nap, studied my lesson again and then made chicken noodle soup.   We ate and then left for Bible Study.  Bible study was so good and I had a great group that really participated in the discussion.  This is going to be a fun study.  Mikayla G. Anna S., Cheryl W. and another lady that wasn’t there tonight are in my group.  Thursday nights groups are smaller, because most go on Wed. nights because their kids are in class at church too.  We came home and I got to FaceTime with Vikki and Rehvyn.  It was so much fun!  I can’t wait to see him in person tomorrow.  I love our Friday get togethers.  Bill and I had ice cream with bananas and hot fudge.  I had peach ice cream that was so delicious.  It was Hudsonville.  YUM!  I don’t need any toppings on that flavor because I is so good plain.  Did my blog and at 11 I was ready for bed.
