Thursday, 7/16/26, Vikki and Peyton came over, Kimmy, Eli and Isaac came over, We went to two Estate Sales and one garage sale, the boys swam for a long time, Peyton hung out with us in the house, dead headed some plants, put Seven Dust on my Hibiscus, sprayed rose bug killer on my roses, had a zoom meeting

Melissa and I at Starbucks
Isaac and Eli spent lots of time in the pool.  Air Quality here was better today, but still not good.  
Moved my plants in the shade when it started getting so hot out.  They sure like it in the shade.
A vole or mole tilled up the dirt around my fish pond and plants.  
Peyton next to our milkweed by the ditch.  It is coming out soon.
The sun looks pretty small again and not very visible.  Air was much better and it smelled much better out this afternoon.

I got up at 5:45 this morning.  Got ready, then left at 6:45 to go pick up Jack and Melissa.  I stopped at Starbuck’s and went through the drive through so Jack could get his favorite drink and drink it on the way to work.  He is helping Christine with dog training at her company.  I treated him for his birthday.  He was happy!  We drove him to work and waited in the parking lot for Christine and her daughter to get there.  He loaded water bottles in her van and helped her load other stuff.  They aren’t working outside with the dogs today, but going to the mall and training them there to be out of the smoke.  Melissa and I left and went back to Starbucks.  She ordered the drink Hailey likes on her phone.  Then we just went in and it was ready.  We sat in there and enjoyed it and also enjoyed visiting.  I am blessed with such wonderful daughters to spend time with.  We went through Panera and I got a large lemonade with no ice and she got Max a Diet Pepsi.  I shared the lemonade with Kimmy later.  I got home and watered my plants out at the end of our driveway by the brick pillars.  They are much happier now.  

Vikki and Peyton came over.  Kimmy, Eli and Isaac got here a while after them.  We all went to 2 estate sales and 1 garage sale.  We found good stuff at the last Estate sale.  I found weights for Eli’s bench for $13, a small Hoover Porta Power Vacuum like my dad gave me.  It was listed at $50, but was half off day.  Kimmy opened the end with the foam filter in it and the filter fell apart, then we tried it, but it was dirty with lots of stuff in the bag.  Vikki told the lady told her it didn’t have much suction because it was dirty.  She asked if I cold have it for $5.  The lady said yes.  That was a real blessing because it had all of the attachments and I only have one attachment that goes with my dad's.  The attachments were worth the $5.  I cleaned it out and washed it when I got home and now it has great suction power.  I also got two nice pairs of scissors.  My scissors downstairs were pretty bad.  I saved my good ones for cutting material.  Scissors were one dollar each.  Got a Rada knife and a tomato can opener for 25 cents each.  Eli took my knife home to sharpen and bring back to me tomorrow.  He does a great job sharpening my knives.  We girls all got stuff there and Eli did too.

We came back home and ate lunch.  The boys went swimming.  We girls stayed in and had fun hanging out together.  Kimmy cut of some of Peyton’s pants and made them into long shorts.  They looked cute on her.  Arnie was a good dog like always.  He is so well behaved and so cute.  

I ordered 3 small fold up tables for Kimmy for the boys for their camping trip.  She tried to order them, but they wouldn’t come until after they got home.  I ordered them and they said they would arrive today.  We watched the tracking, but it was close to delivery, but didn’t move.  

Everyone left for home.  Issac went home with Kimmy again to paint his bike while Eli painted his.  I got a message on amazon that my order wouldn’t arrive until July 21st.  I called Kimmy because that’s after they leave for their trip.  We were bummed, but Kimmy said it was ok.  They would have them for next year.  I prayed for God to please help them get here sooner so they could take them this year.  

We read our Bibles and I read our devotion for the day.  It was a really good one again.

Worked on my blog, but got tired when it was midnight, so will finish tomorrow.
