Rody, me, Peyton, Isaac, Bill and Vikki....I love my family!

I love this granddaughter so much!  She sent me these pictures of her in her cap and gown.  What an amazing young lady she is.  

Hailey in her cap and gown for her CMU graduation.  I am so proud of her!

I met Vikki, Rody and the kids at Covenant before her procedure on the inside of her nose.  The kids came with me and I took them to school.  We stopped at Panera and I got Peyton a free drink.  Isaac didn’t want anything.  After I dropped them off at school, I went to Meijer, then to Aldi’s, then to the bank, then stopped at Melissa’s.  Wookie just loves me and greets me so excitedly and sweet.  Melissa said her and I are the only two he acts like that with.  He sure is a sweet dog!  Riley, Bruce’s dad’s dog who they watched lots, had to be put down yesterday.  She was a sweet dog too and Bruce’s dad said she was his best friend.  He was very sad.  Rody kept me posted on Vikki, and let me know when she went into surgery and when she was done and went to recovery.  Vikki called me on their way home.  I was happy to talk to her and I thank God that everything went really well.  

I was so happy when Hailey sent me pictures of her in her CMU Cap and Gown.  I wasn’t expecting them so it made me tear up happy tears.  I am so thankful for such a sweet, godly, smart, beautiful, loving granddaughter.  So proud of the person she has become.  

I brought more stuff up from the basement that goes outside.  Put everything where it goes, then turned the water on to water the new grass and the sod.  Sunny and in the 50’s, so it felt warm.  I read my Bible out on the swing on the deck.  Then I bird watched for a while and saw some of my favorites.  The sun went down and it got cooler.  Bill came out on the deck for a few minutes, then said he was going to mow the lawn.  I kept setting my timer and moving the sprinkler.  Then I went inside and started packing more stuff and took all the groceries I got and other stuff and put it in the camper.  Bill power washed it yesterday so it looks really nice.  He also washed the motorcycle.  We are all set for the weekend.  Just need to pack the last minute stuff.  I was supposed to get together with Maddy, but she couldn’t until evening and I had Isaac’s concert.  We were supposed to meet around 2, but Alec was tired so she would have had to bring the 3 kiddos and that would be a lot for her.  

In the evening, we went to Isaac’s band concert.  Isaac did a great job playing and so did everyone else.  They sounded great.  The teacher and kids were sad that this was their last concert together.  We took pictures afterwards, then we headed home.  I had a strawberry shortcake at home and I made Bill a hot fudge sundae.  We relaxed after that and I went over my list for camping while a load of clothes was washing.  After the clothes were dry, we went to bed.
