I made oriole food and filled the feeders.  I also filled the hummingbird feeders.  Gayla gave me a little one to stick in the window.  Hope I get hummingbirds at that one.  I hung the bird house that Kenzie made me.  I also put out the stepping stone she made me.  Bill and I went to Fergusons to look at bathroom stuff.  It was a very nice store.  We have lots of estimates from stores now.  We prayed to make wise decisions.  Kimmy called me while I was in there, and wanted to know if we could go up to Standish.  Adam came up with the idea and he really wanted me to go.  I called Melissa and asked her if I could take the kids up there.  She said yes, so I called Kimmy back.  We got up to Outdoor Adventures right about at the same time.  We went swimming in the outdoor pool right away  The water was warm and it was a beautiful day out.  Someone threw up in the pool so we stayed out while they got it cleaned.  We walked around the campground and then went to the store. I was very happy when Melissa called to let me know how her appointment with the Neurologist in Owosso went.  She liked the doctor and was very happy with what she is going to do to help her.  I am thanking God! There were lots of campers up there, but it wasn't packed.  We went on the paddleboat and kayaks and then went to the beach until the pizzas I ordered were done.  We went in the pavilion and ate out pizzas.  I ordered 3 so we had left overs for each family to take home.  We brought our own pop.  We went swimming again after that and went in the hot tub.  We all changed and then took another short walk around the campground.  It was 8:45 p.m so we left for home. I was happy to hear everyone was home safe and sound.  I took Hailey, Max, Jack and Evan to their house.  Melissa and Bruce had a bonfire going.  I stayed for a few minutes and then came home.

6/7/18...Went to Chapel to see Hailey receive her award for Outstanding Overall Student. She was given a computer for it too. Got bagels with her coupon when we got back to their house. Went lookin for what we need for remodeling our bathroom after that.

Took Louise to her dr. appt.  We went to lunch at Tony's afterward and each got a hamburg.  We had a really nice time.  I took her to see the eagle afterwards.  It was sitting on the edge of the nest.  I took her back to her apartment and when I got home, she called and had already heard back from her cardiac appt.  She said they told her she should have a defibrillator put in if she wanted to extend her life.  She is 94 so she is praying to have wisdom to know what to do. I sure am praying for her to.  What a sweet godly friend she is.  Bill picked the kids up for me.  I picked up some graduation cards for Melissa to look at.  Got one for me too and the rest will go in my card box.  Jack came home from school with some red hair and silly glasses.  We had fun with those.  Took pictures of Hailey playing basketball.  Left for home to eat and get ready for Hailey's graduation from 8th grade.  It was a very moving and wonderful graduation ceremony.  I am so proud of my Hailey Girl.  She has done great in school and accomplished much during her years at the school.  We stopped at Vikki's afterwards to see Kenzie and Travis.  We had a good time visiting with them and Bill played some basketball with them.  Kenzie showed us all of her new pendants.  She has made some beautiful ones.  We came home and I finished the book I have been writing in for Hailey.  It is from a grandmother to her granddaughter and is beautifully written.  I personalized it for my sweet Hailey.  She sure is special to my heart!

6/5/18...Went to Breakfast, went to Melissa's, Came home and had lunch, Went to the doctor, Went out to eat with The Beemers.

Melissa is so happy!  Her new sink is ready for Bruce to hook up as soon as the part comes in today for the garbage disposal.

We went to breakfast at Sullivan's.  There were 16 of us there.  We had a nice time visiting, a good devotion and then closed with prayers that were written in the prayer book as it was passed around.  
I went to Melissa's after breakfast.  Nora was there and had a tea party for us.  It was pretty cool out when I got there, but then after a while the sun came out so I took Nora outside to play.  She sure loves the new swing and the trampoline.  There were lots of balls on the trampoline and she thought that was pretty fun.  I left after that and went home to fix lunch for Bill and I.  We had egg salad sandwiches. At 2, I had a dr. appointment.  I was very happy to get good reports and learn that my cholesterol was down again and I don't need medicine.  Still working on bringing it down further.  
Came home and transplanted plants outside  At 6, we met Kevin, Vikki, Meredith and Iain at Olive Garden.  We had such a nice time.  We sure left full and we even brought food home.

Walked 3 miles at SportsZone.  Came home and ate oatmeal.  Put some fresh strawberries in it. YUM!  Bill showed me how to make pens today.  There are more steps than I realized.  He did a great job.  Vikki and the twins came over.  The kids had gold fish.  Lucy came too!  She is doing better with not biting.  She liked the bone I had here.  Vikki showed me the snaps she put on her hammock. She did a great job and it is so nice to be able to close it and have it stay closed.  She picked up the snaps I had here to finish it.  The kids were really good.  I love my family!
