Friday, May 15, 2026, Kimmy and Vikki came over, went with Bill for his 10:30 appt. at the VA, he’s doing slightly better today, Travis dropped Rehvyn off at our house, played with him and watched birds outside with the girls, Bill sat outside of Pats and collected money for the Marine Corp League, I went to visit him, went to Sam’s, to TSC, and to Chic Fil A.

Rehvyn loved the slide today

So precious even when he’s sleeping

Ha ha, this is my new feeder to keep big bad birds from
eating all the food.  My first bird to eat on it was the red bellied woodpecker.  His beak was so long he could reach the food when he stuck

An Orchard Oriole came to my feeders lots today.  It’s kind of rare for here. It is darker colored than my normal orioles

Mason in his Marine hat...He is getting close to 5 months when he will be able to have his surgery

My hummingbird was here lots this evening

Vikki FaceTimed me when Rehvyn was playing with Lydia and Barrett.  Lydia and Rehvyn were waving to me for a long time and I finally decided to take a picture just then Lydia stopped and turned around in her chair.  It was so cute to see the waving together.

This police car I got Rehvyn at a garage sale has different sirens, plus if you hit the blue arrow button on the top, its back wheels turn and it goes by itself.  I had to help it get up the steep parts of the bridge.

Rehvyn with his “Ain’t No Nana Like the One I’ve Got” sweatshirt on.  It was a dollar at the garage sales.  

I decided to get up earlier than I planned, so I turned my alarm off.  I got ready, and planned on going to Melissa’s to pick up the wheelchair.  I had talked to her last night and we decided I could get there a 7:15 to get it.  Then Melissa called me this morning because she forgot the boys didn’t have school today.  I had her put the wheel chair on the front porch and told her to go back to bed.  Then Bill decided he could use his sit down walker and I could push him if I needed to.  I called Melissa back to tell her.

I came in the living room and sat with Bill.  I put Elevation Worship that was amazing on the TV.  Both of us enjoyed worshipping to their amazing worship.  When Kimmy and Arnie got here, then Vikki, I turned the worship off and went in the family room and sat with them.  Vikki had oatmeal and Kimmy and I had yogurt with fruit, plus tangelos, and granola in it.  It was so good.  Kimmy and Vikki don’t like the smell of it.  At 10:00 Bill and I left for his appointment at the VA with the urologist.  That went well and his numbers were good.  They did some lab work, then scheduled everything he needs to have done.  When he got his results it showed a borderlrine infection.  We prayed with Melissa on the phone that it would go away and not get worse.

Travis brought Rehvyn over while we were at his appointment.  We were so happy to see them when we got home.  Vikki and Kimmy gave me a lemonade with strawberries in it they had got from Panera and shared with me.  Yum!  Strawberries make all the difference.  Rehvyn stayed here and we had fun with him.  Then he went home with Vikki and spent the night at her house.  Peyton is watching Lydia and Barrett tonight so it will be good for Rehvyn to play with some little friends.  Kimmy had to leave to go meet Jared.  Before she left she dug out my dead knockout rose bush and dug up a     part of one of mine that has spread and had good roots.   I watered it and now hopefully it grows good.  Thanks Kimmy!  We walked around and looked at all my plants and checked on my fish while she was here too.  Today is Eli’s last driving night, so she is meeting Jared to walk.  Eli texted me and let me know he drove by our house on his last drive and that he would be getting his permit on Monday.  He will be a great driver!!!  Bill was able to go to Pat’s and sit on his walker chair and collect money for the Marine Corps.  That was good for him and got him out and a marine friend sat with him so he got to visit a little.  I went there after Kimmy and Vikki left, to see how Bill was doing and see if he needed anything.  I talked to them for a while and then left when I saw Bill was win too. After that I went to Sam’s Club for some things we needed, then went to take the live traps back that we got a week ago because they don’t even work right.  They don’t make things like they used to.  I did buy a heavy duty one they only had one of. They were really nice about exchanging it.  I called Bill to see if he wanted me to pick up Chic fil A for him and he did.  I got him a chicken wrap, chicken noodle soup and a vanilla shake.  I got me a 2 pk of chicken strips.  I sat outside more and watched birds when I finished eating.  Then I brought the feeders and jelly in so the raccoon doesn’t knock them all down again.  It broke my oriole liquid feeder last night.  

I read my Bible and then did my blog.  Then went to bed.
