I wished Bill Happy Father's Day and then headed off to church.  I got my classroom ready, prayed for my kids,  and then went over my lesson again.  Went out for worship.  Isaac went up front by himself to worship.  He was so happy they sang Good Good Father.  The kids all moved up a grade now, so instead of 12 to 14 kids, I had 5.  I had a few missing because of summer vacation.  Miss having my grand kiddos.  After church, we went to Kimmy's.  We ate sloppy joes, potato salad and chips and had cake for dessert.  The kids swam and had lots of fun.  It was 98 degrees out.  Sure am thankful for air.  Kimmy's house was nice and cool.  We all had a fun day.  Vikki and Kimmy swam later on.  Melissa and I stayed in the cool house and visited.  So thankful for the great dad's we have in the family.  They are all loving, kind and are teaching their kids to love and follow Jesus.  I am so blessed! 

6/16/18...Went to take some shorts and a shirt to Melissa's...Went to Krogers and Aldi's, Met Bill at the Veteran's Car show at Hopevale, worked on cleaning the res t of the mulch out of the trailer, got the preen down in the back, Went back to the car show, Bill won a hotel stay, Went to Lowes.

Ruth and me.  Bill and I went in this War Room and prayed for Tina, Melissa and others.

We are praying for Bill's sister, Tina, in Kansas.  She was rushed to the hospital and had to have her spleen taken out yesterday. Can't wait until she is out of the hospital and back to normal.   Went to Melissa's to have her see if she liked some shorts I have to wear to therapy.  They weren't the kind she wanted.  Took her an Old Navy Sleeveless Shirt.  She tried it on right away and loved it.  I went to Kroger's and got some groceries.  They were super busy and I couldn't even get a big cart.  I saw Bruce and Hailey in the check out line when I was ready to pay and talked to them a few minutes.  I picked up 5 mayo's and 5 big Heinz Ketchups for 99 cents each.  Great Deal!  I have to see if the kids each need one of each now.  Got stuff I need for camping trip.  Went to Aldi's and got raisins and oatmeal.  Got home and called Bill.  He was at the car show and wanted me to come there.  I went and was happy to see Peyton, Isaac and Rody there too.  We walked around and then got hot dogs.  I left and came home to clean out the rest of the trailer and put the last of the mulch down.  Bill did 10 loads this morning and got the bricks around the tree filled with mulch.  I got the back ready and preened for the next load.  We went back to the car show because they were having a drawing at 5 and you had to be there.  It was a special drawing for Veterans only.  They drew a lot of names and then drew Bill's.  He won a Comfort Inn stay for a night.  Love it there because their pool is really warm.  We went to look for a shrub at Lowes.  Found one we like, but want to get it at a nursery.  Bill got me my Mother's Day present.  I told him I wasn't his mom and didn't need anything, but for Father's Day, he got a tool cabinet  on wheels and told me it was my Father's Day gift for him.  Then he decided to get me one.  We are putting it together and then will post a picture.  

6/15/18...Went to Melissa's, picked up her heart monitor and took it back to dr. Went to Old Navy, then back to Melissa's. Sprayed tent. Ordered stuff for remodeling of bathroom, started putting wood chips around the house.

Evan

Mulch that's done

Went yo Melissa's to pick up her heart monitor at 8:15.  Dropped it off at the doctor's.  I remembered Melissa had asked for copy of results to go to her neurologist so I asked about it and they gave me a form to take to Melissa.  Ran it to her house after I stopped at Old Navy.  They have some really comfy shirts on sale for $5, so I picked up a couple more.  Bill and I went and ordered all the stuff for our bathroom to be remodeled.  We also picked up mulch to put around our house.  We ate left over meatloaf, mashed potatoes and peas when we got home.  Got quite bit of the mulch down around the house.

6/14/18 Kimmy came over with the boys, Vikki, Peyton,Isaac, and Lucy came over, put the new tent up, hung out and then ate lunch, went to the park, went to Cabella's and Old Navy, came home and hung out some more.

Getting ready to leave our Faith Rider's meeting

Went and walked the rail trail.  Went two miles and then came home and made oatmeal and a coffee.  I was out eating them on the front porch on the swing and Kimmy and the boys came.  I sure am happy school is out so I can see them more.  We all worked on setting up my new tent.  They were such good helpers and tent went up really easy.  Kimmy and I walked around the yard and looked at my flowers and plants and also the garden.  The boys enjoyed telling Google to play different worship videos on the TV.  Kimmy and I enjoyed it too.  Vikki had to go to Walmart so go here awhile after.  She and the kids watched some worship videos with us too.  Lucy is so cute and is becoming much more well behaved and fun to be around.  She catches on so fast to stuff.  Smart doggie!  We all made sandwiches and then went to Haithco.  The kids had fun swimming and playing in the sand.  We enjoyed being in our hammocks and watched the kids from there.  They have life guards watching too so that is great.  We stayed there for a couple hours, and then went to Cabella's for Kimmy to get bunk cots.  They are so nice.  After that we went to Old Navy.  She took some shorts back and got shirts for Jacob and some flip-flops for $2.  I got 3 tops and a pair of flip flops.  I accidentally got the wrong size for one of the shirts so Vikki tried it on and liked and she bought it.  We dug up some tree starts (Sycamore) and some purple poppy plants for Kimmy to plant at her house.  They left and Bill and I got ready and went on the motorcycle to our Faith Rider's Meeting. There was a good turnout and the meeting went great.  We went with Wes and Gayla to Mooneys afterwards and they treated us to ice cream cones.  What great friends they are.  What a wonderful family I have.  I love my family!

6/13/18...Got my green card, Took Melissa to get her heart monitor, Saw an eagle in the nest and the mom or dad flew by me and into the nest. Went to Jacks, Made dinner for Dawn, Mike and Family and delivered it. Hoed part of the garden

Max, Hailey, Jack and Evan after we got home.  Don't know why Jack covered his eyes in the top picture or Max did in the next  picture.  Silly brothers

We picked up Melissa and went to the Naval Reserve and Bill and I went in to get my green card while Melissa waited for us in the car.  We got there early and got right in and it is a good thing.  The guy ran the computer and printed the card and then asked me to check it and he had my birth date wrong.  He had to do everything over.  We still got done, took bill to meet Charlie at Tim Horton's and made it to Melissa appointment in time.  She got the heart monitor to wear until Friday morning. They are trying to figure out what's going on as she has weird things going on when her potassium is low.  She almost fell when we came out and were walking.  I grabbed her and said I'm not going to let you fall.  It sure was close.  I bet her heart monitor showed some excitement.  I went in to see the kids when we got back and then left.  Went to Jack's and got some lunchmeat, burger and bread.  On my way home I stopped and parked across from the eagles. I could see one in the nest and one flew by me and landed on the next. Made my day. Did some hoeing in the garden.  Made meatloaf, mashed potatoes, corn and an apple pie and took it to Dawn's.  The road she lives on is being resurfaced so every time I tried to follow the GPS I couldn't do what she said.  Everywhere I turned there was a road closed sign.  I hadn't been to her house in a long time so didn't really know her crossroads.  I didn't have her phone number either.  I facebook messaged her and asked her to call me.  After about 5 minutes she did.  She finally directed me to where I could at least park across from her house.

She had a double mastectomy and has had infections and problems ever since.  Praying she gets better quickly.

6/12/18..Went to Sullivans for Breakfast, Came home and cleaned the garage with Bill and then washed my car. Went to Isaac and Peyton's picnic lunch at their school,Went to Melissa's, Met Vikki Eddy at Two Bell,

Went to our breakfast at Sullivans.  Had a good devotion, prayer time and nice time visiting.  We came home afterward and cleaned the garage and washed my car.  We went to Isaac's room an his teacher told us she would get Peyton for us too so we could all go together to lunch.  That was so sweet, because it was set up for them to have different times for lunch.  When we walked into Isaac's room, he told us he ad been waiting for us.  He came and gave us a big hug and led us to Peyton's room to get her.  She was excited to see us too.  Such sweet kiddos.  We had fun with them and enjoyed our food:  hotdog, watermelon, carrots, celery, cucumbers, and ice cream with sprinkles.  Katie, Amy and their kiddos sat at our table.  Loved getting to see Amy's new baby girl.

After we were done eating, the kids wanted to leave instead of playing,  We signed them out with their teachers and left.  I was almost going by Hungry Howie's when I called Melissa and she told me she had been trying to call them and the phone had been busy for 20 minutes.  I told her I would stop and order what she wanted.  She told me what to order and I took the kids in and ordered.  We went to Melissa's and Peyton and Isaac wanted to go outside and play.  Jack was out with them and then came in.  He asked if someone would please open the door for him.  He had two cups of water in his hands and told us Peyton and Isaac were really thirsty so he was taking them water.  So sweet of him.  I ended up hiring him to watch Peyton and Isaac while I went and got the pizzas and then when I left to go meet Vikki Eddy.  I gave him a couple of dollars and he was so happy.  I went and met my friend Vikki at Taco Bell and we stayed there for a long time and just visited.  What a wonderful friend she is. Talked to Bill and he got a great report at the doctors.  All his numbers were good and his kidney test was good too.  I am praising and thanking God.  YAY!  Went to Haithco Park with Vikki and the twins. We ate sandwiches and chips and then relaxed in our hammocks.  The kids had fun swimming and playing together.  Came home and planted Hens and Chicks in m new planer.  It looks so nice.  Water all of my plants and our garden.   Glad that job is done.   What a wonderful day!

Got ready and went to Melissa's at 8:15.  I went upstairs and woke Hailey up so she could watch the kids while I took Melissa to get her blood test.  She had to fast, so after her blood test we went to Tony's for breakfast.  I knew she would be hungry.  We had a nice time there and then I took her home, took some pictures of the kids and then went to Krogers to get 4x fuel point gift cards.  I was happy they had the special because I was getting low on them.  I went to Aldi's too and picked up a triple planter for on my deck.  Picked up branches from lilac bushes Bill trimmed.  I also transplanted some plants.  Bill had his liver function test.  I sure am praying for him.  He gets the results tomorrow.  I took Linda Magnus her pendant that Kenzie made for her.  We visited for a while.  Glad to see Kenzie make money on her beautiful artwork.  Linda loved the pendant and also the shell Kenzie brought her from Florida.  Waiting to hear on the News how President Trump's meeting with the North Korean Leader, Kim, went.
