Monday, 6/1/26, Peyton’s Prayer Month, Bill tried mowing the grass, but mower PTO wouldn’t work, I went to Melissa’s, Bill worked on the electrical outlet for pool filter, I turned the filter on when he was done and put the chemicals in, got the steps out from under the deck, washed them off good, did some pool skimming to get leaves at the bottom out, brushed the pool floor, fed the fish and they sure ate the food fast, Pulled weeds around our big maple tree, picked up Melissa and Jack in the Jeep and went to Old Town for coney dogs, fries and root beer

Kaylin and Jack at 4 H training.  They are learning to teach kids how to train dogs.  Jack got 3rd place working with Wookie.  I’m very proud of him.   
Yellow plant was from Stacie...I am enjoying it with the other plants in with it.
The pool after I skimmed it.  I put the chemicals in and have to run the filter 6 to 8 hours.
I got the steps out from under the pool deck and washed them so they are ready to go in the pool.
This was a couple hours later
Beautiful cardinal was here lots today

Yay!  It’s Peyton’s prayer month.  She has already sent me one request.  I am waiting for the rest of her list.  I love seeing what the Lord does after focusing on one grandchild and praying lots for the month.  Still praying for the rest too.  I have been blessed with such wonderful grandkids.  

Bill read his Bible right away in the morning.  I made our coffees, then we ate Honey Nut Cheerios and Granola with Almond milk for breakfast.  After I ate I went outside and sat on the swing and read my Bible.  I left to go pick up a large cold brew coffee at Panera for free and also got  a Turkey Avocado BLT I had a reward for $2 off.  I went to Melissa and we split the cold brew and the sandwich was cut in half and we split that.  It was so good.  After we ate, we walked around her yard and looked at her pretty plants and the nice garden.  Then we sat on the swing for a while and relaxed and talked.  It was such a nice day to sit outside.  I had to leave and get home to put the chemicals in our pool.  Bill made sure everything was hooked up right.  I skimmed stuff out of the pool, then had to plug the pump into the plug on the outside of the house to run the filter.  Bill had me turn the power off from the pump plug so he could fix it.  I dumped the chemicals in the pool and brushed the bottom of the pool to stir up stuff so it would run through the filter.  It was very clear water even before I put chemicals in but clouded up after brushing the bottom.  Easy year for pool start up though.

Bill and I took the Jeep and were heading to Old Town Drive In.  Vikki called to see if Peyton could use my Panera.  I told her yes.  Later Bill asked if we should pick Peyton and Isaac up to go to Old Town with us.  I reminded him they were headed to Panera.  We called Melissa to see if Jack and Evan wanted to go with us.  Evan was at Lydia’s, so we asked about Max.  He was on a walk with Bruce.  We asked Melissa if she wanted to go and she did.  Then when we got to their house we saw Hailey was there so asked if she wanted to go too, but she was to full.  I let Jack sit up front.  I told Melissa to put her hair in a pony tail and wear something warm.  She also brought a blanket which we shared.  Even though it was warm out, it was cool with the wind blowing and no doors or windows.  Jack got regular hot dogs and the rest of us got coney dogs.  Melissa and I shared one so we had 1 1/2 hot dogs.  We all had fries and root beers.  We got them to go so Melissa passed out all the food.  We had a really fun time.

I pulled half the weeds out of the bricked area under out huge Maple Tree.  I and going to plant some ground cover, like I planted last year over by the little bridge.  I had thought about that and then Kimmy suggested it too.  Great idea!

I FaceTimed with Vikki, Peyton and Rehvyn.  Rehvyn was so cute the way he clapped after Grammy prayed and then he prayed and clapped.  He sure shows his excitement.  Vikki showed me the video.  He prayed while I was FaceTiming him too.  I can’t wait to see him tomorrow when Vikki brings Isaac to help put the steps in the pool.  

My fish were doing great today and ate very good and quickly again.  I love how clear the wanter is staying.
