Saturday, 6/6/26, Went to watch Jacob and Abi in 3 mile marathon, went to Adam and Eli’s soccer game, went to Woody’s for ice cream with Bill, went to Sam’s Club, talked to Debbie, Sat on the deck, washed out bird baths, refilled,

Kimmy and I were following Jared and He walked down the middle of the sidewalk.  We were together so we walked on the edge.  Kimmy hit a patch of mud and her foot slid a long way and she almost fell.  She made a sound and just then my foot started sliding in the mud across from her.  I almost fell too.  We made Jared point things out to us after that since he missed pointing out the big mud spot.  On our way back to our vehicles, we took a picture.  Jared put his foot in to give the right perspective of how long it was.

Kimmy and Jared gave me this free donut I am eating for Jared’s mom.  Thanks Lela!  I ate it instead of Kimmy

So much fun watching Adam and Eli play in their last soccer game of the season.  They both played great.  Adam has blue socks on and Eli has pink.

I got up at 6:30 so I would have plenty of time to get ready, stop at the ATM and then make it to meet Kimmy and Jared at the Midland Community Center.  As I was driving it was nice and sunny and not a cloud in the sky where I started out, but when I got close to Midland there was like a wall of grayish brown clouds.  I saw puddles of where it had rained, but I got there and we didn’t have any rain, but those clouds sure cooled it off for the runners.  Jacob said the same thing happened to them.  They were in sunny skies and then a wall of clouds on their way.  We talked for a few minutes, then Abi and Jacob had to get in line to run.  We followed and went to different points to take pictures and to cheer them on.  They were always so cute.  They finished after 29 minutes.  Yay!  We took some more pictures, then Kimmy, Jared and I walked back to our vehicles.  I followed them to the soccer game.  

We found our spot, got our chairs set up and then Eli came and gave me a hug.  I had to wait for Adam to get done with his practicing, but got my hug then.  The sun came out, but there was a nice breeze, so it stayed on the cool side until the second half of the game when it warmed up some.  Still nice and comfortable though.  Abi and Jacob came and watched the game too.  It was nice getting to spend time with them.  I gave Jacob his birthday money and was happy to give it to him in person instead of having to mail it.   The boys did great and so did their team.  It was 11 to 0.  Our team sure had great footwork and were so fast.  It was impressive. 

When I got home, I read my Bible out on the deck.  Later on, Bill and I went to Woody’s and got a banana split and a hot fudge sundae.  When we were ordering, Vikki and Peyton pulled in.  We went next door in the vacant parking lot and parked in the shade to eat ours.  Vikki pulled in next to us and said they decided they didn’t want to wait in line.  It sure was good ice cream.  They headed back to a garage sale where Peyton found lots of clothes and Vikki found a nice Apple Watch for $2 and some other stuff.  We went to Sam’s Club.  Bill went in with me but couldn’t walk good through the whole store so told me he would catch up.  I went and found him by the clothes, but he was in pain so he went out to the Jeep and waited while I finished.  I was quick.  

I warmed up round steak, mashed potatoes and corn for our dinner.  I walked around and looked at my plants after that.

We came home and I emptied my bird baths and washed and refilled them.  Then I checked on my fish and fed them and skimmed some stuff off the top of the water.  I sat on the deck longer and Kit Kat joined me.  I went through my pictures for my blog out there.
