Sunday, 5/24/26, Rainy day, Went to early service, talked to friends and met new people, went to Meijer, than picked up movie popcorn, got a free large Pepsi from Panera and came home and watched a movie.

The small birds have figured out how to get in this new bird feeder and eat after having it over a week.  I love that the starlings can waste so much food now.

Plants I picked up yesterday that I will plant tomorrow when it isn’t raining.  They have been watered nicely by yesterday and today’s rain

Weigela is looking beautiful after being pruned last year

Ajuga Bronze Beauty ground cover is so beautiful with all the rain we got

My new goose for the garden I found on clearance at Menard’s.  Hopefully it keeps real geese away from my fish pond

We went to the early service.   Lisa and Laurie gave me a really nice greeting.  They were at the welcome center today.  Bill and I sat in the back again today.  Pastor Justin was talking with Bill, so I walked around and met some new people that haven’t been coming to our church long.  Everyone was so nice.  Lots of new people to meet.  Pastor Justin gave the message and did a great job.  We were in Acts 9 and when he read verse 33-35, which says, There he (Peter) found a man named Aeneas who had been beridden for eight years, because he was paralyzed. Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; get up and make your own bed.  Immediately he got up  and all who lived at Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.  It made me remember 8 years of Melissa being so sick and having pneumonia 18 times and having to learn to walk all over again each time.  I never saw that 8 years in Acts before for some reason.  God is a Miracle working God for sure!

After church, we came home and I checked the pond and it was still full.  It was misting outside, so I walked around and looked at all the plants and they sure are doing amazing with all this rain.  My Hibiscus is coming up now. Yay!  We had left over spaghetti for dinner.  I made toast and sprinkled some Everything Bagel Asiago Cheese seasoning on mine.  I sure tasted good.  

After we ate, I boiled eggs, cut up potatoes with my chopper for potato salad, cut up celery and also onion.  Then cooked the potatoes and while they were cooling, I went to Meijer and got some things I had clipped coupons for, plus the Salad Dressing I need for making the potato salad.  After that, I went to the theater and picked up a bucket of popcorn, and then went to Panera and got a large Pepsi.  Bill requested the popcorn and I thought of the pop to go with it.  When I got home, I put groceries away and then divided the popcorn into two popcorn containers and split the pop and put half in another cup.  Then I looked for movies and Bill picked Undercover Angel to watch.  

I worked on my blog after that and Bill laid on the couch.  I called Kimmy and Eli’s bus was just getting there.  They were waiting to pick him up.  I’m glad he’s home and I can’t wait to hear about his trip and see pictures.
