Made Waffles for dinner!  Yum!

Picked Melissa's boys up and took them to school.  Had to go through some high water over the road after I left the school.  No way to turn around and all the other cars were going through it.  Cars behind me waiting.  Not going that way when it's wet out again.  Came home and ate, spent time in the Word and then went to pick up Melissa.  Took her to therapy.  Went to pick Kimmy's boys up from school.  They only had a half day.  We went to Kimmy's to wait for her.  She didn't get out of work until 12:30.  Wyatt seemed to know when she was getting close.  He was so cute watching for her.  I asked the boys if they wanted to go to Olive Garden, Old Chicago Pizza or McDonalds.  They picked McDonald's ha ha.  Kimmy and I were trying to have them consider Olive Garden, but they were sure.  We all had fun!  Jacob visited with Kimmy and I, while Adam and Eli had fun playing.  We went to Walmart and Kimmy and Jacob went in to look for a phone case.  I stayed in the van with Adam and Eli.  I let Adam play Woody on my phone.  I thought maybe he could raise my score up and maybe beat papa.  He's better at playing than me.  Papa is still in the lead.  We went back to Kimmy's and played 3-13.  We listened to worship music while we played.  Lots of old Toby Mac songs.  So much fun.  I kept touching Jacob's orange pen for luck and I won.  Jacob was trying not to let me touch it.  Threatened to make me keep score too.  I finally won for the first time at their house.  Came home and made waffles for dinner.  Cut up fresh strawberries for on top.  Delicious!  Watched a Hallmark movie.

3/14/19...Took Max, Jack and Evan to school, dehydrated some more strawberries. Beautiful day 63 degrees...Rain off and on

Beautiful day out.  Snow is almost gone.  63 degrees


Picked up Melissa's boys and took them to school.  It was raining, so I pulled in the garage so the boys stuff wouldn't get wet.  We left and Hailey closed the garage door for us.  Got to Weiss and Bay and Weiss was closed.  I had to move over to a left turn arrow lane and the guy behind me was very impatient so I just turned the direction of the arrow.  I went down a mile and came up Shattuck.  I was a little nervous because the road to the school had water over the road signs the other day.  I was happy to see it wasn't flooded.  Got the boys to school 2 minutes early is all.  Came home and rested for a while, then spent my time with the Lord.  Vikki called and said Isaac's fever is gone even without the medicine.  So very thankful!  He told me he's at a 1 (from 1 being the best and 10 the worst).  He's so cute!  I dehydrated some more strawberries.  Organized some more in the green bedroom upstairs.  Almost done! Yay! Vacuumed out the kernel burner and got it all cleaned.  Went to our CMA dinner/meeting at Pizza Hut.  Couple of new people there which is great.  Some business Renee know of is going to match our Run For the Son donations up to $5,000.  This is such a huge blessing from the Lord!  We had a great meeting and lots of good fellowship.

Adam and me after the concert.  I am so proud of him!
Got ready and went to pick up Max, Jack and Evan and took them to school.  Came home and ate and spent time with the Lord and then went to pick up Melissa and take her to therapy.  Went to Sam's Club to get some Shick Intuition Shavers.  They were on sale so that was great.  Melissa, Hailey and I always share a pack.  They are sure a lot cheaper than at other stores.  I picked up some canned chicken too.  When I got home I made chicken salad sandwiches for lunch.  Ate a kale salad too.  I made a sandwich for Melissa and took it with me when I picked her up.  She was pretty happy because she loves chicken salad too.  I took her home and visited with her until it was time to go get Max and Evan from school. Vikki called and said Peyton did great at the Children's Dentist.  I sure was happy about that and so was Vikki.  It talked to Peyton and let her know how happy I was that she was so good for the dentist this time.  I talked to Isaac too.  I will be so happy when he feels better and his temperature stays down.   I picked the boys up and we had a fun ride on the way home.  Got home, we ate spaghetti, and then Kimmy called to see if I was coming to Adam's band concert.  I had forgotten about it, so I was sure glad she reminded me.  I got ready and left right away.  Bill had a board of directors meeting at Doug's house to go to.  The concert was amazing.  Adam did a great job and all of the bands sounded so good.  Came home and watched a Hallmark Movie.  Bill fixed my vanity drawer that was sticking.  I sure love having it close on it's own again. Vikki called me after I went to bed and was going to take Isaac to the ER.  His throat is really sore and he couldn't swallow or open his mouth very wide on top of his other symptoms.  They made it so his head was up when he was laying in bed and he started to do better so they are waiting  to see how he keeps doing now.  This nana is praying!


3/12/19...Went to breakfast, went to Great Lakes for Care group

Charlie, Bill, Denis, Wes and Gayla....not many came to breakfast this morning
Bill took the motorcycle to a church that he and Kevin were talking to the pastor about Faith Riders Coming there this summer to share

My poor sweetie Isaac.  This is the first smile Vikki got out of him since he's been sick.  He was very sick again after this picture!

Used the rest of the plastic from the camper shelves for the bathroom closet shelvesand vanity drawers

Roy, Bill, Ron, Diane, James and John watching the movie What If at care group.  Pearlie was sitting next to me 


We went to breakfast.  Not many of us there.  We had a good devotion and prayer time.  I stopped at Melissa's to drop a shirt I sewed of Hailey's off and also luggage.  I dropped some laundry detergent off on Vikki's porch for her.  I didn't go in the house because I don't want to catch anything.  I did knock on the window because I am missing them and at least was hoping to see them through the window.  They didn't get much sleep last night, so they went back to bed.  I came home and put plastic down in my bathroom closet and vanity.  I should have done that before I put everything in the first time.  Nice job to have done.  Picked Max and Jack up from school.  It was sunny and 43 degrees out, so we went to get shakes at McDonalds.  Took Melissa a Mocha Frappe.  She was pretty happy.  Bill and I had spaghetti and homemade rolls for dinner.  We popped popcorn and packed everything to go to Great Lakes for Care Group.  It was relationship building night, so we fellowshipped and watched the movie, What If.  Roy was able to come again.  He will be discharged on Friday.  I went out to tell a man who had peeked in the door window that he could come in and watch the movie if he wanted to.  He said they were giving his wife a bath and then he was going back there.  As I went to go back in a sweet lady was by the door.  I talked to her and found out she loves Jesus.  I invited her to come in and watch the movie with us.  Her name is Pearlie.  She loved the movie and when I took her back out to the hallway, she told me her room number and asked me to come back and visit her.  I'm going to go see her tomorrow.  God sure used her to touch my heart.  Everyone loved the movie.
Talked to Vikki when I got home and she said Isaac had been in the tub for 2 hours.  It was helping his cough.  He sure had a rough day and has been so sick with this flu.  Melissa called me and we talked for a while.  I sure love my family.

3/11/19...Took Max, Jack and Evan to school, Organized my closet,


Shoe shelves I picked up for the closet
Organized the desk and part of the shelves I got from Aldi's.  Nice little office area for me.

Got up early and picked up Max, Jack and Evan and took them to school because poor Isaac is sick.   Came home and made us oatmeal for breakfast.  Made a little office area in the upstairs bedroom.  Put a new shoe shelf in my side of our closet.  It is so nice.  I decided to go pick up another one at Aldi's for next to it.  Vikki called me after Isaac's doctor's appointment and he has influenza A.  My poor Isaac.  Peyton is feeling better, so that's good.  Talked to Melissa a couple of times.  Fourteen days until they leave on their trip.  Praying they all stay healthy.  Bill put the other shoe rack together for me.  We watched a Hallmark Movie.

3/10//19 Went to church, Very windy outside but got up to 40 degrees, Out to lunch at Tony's with Melissa, Jack and Evan, Poor Isaac and Peyton have fevers and are sick


After church Bruce had to pick up Hailey.  We went to lunch at Tony's with Melissa, Evan and Jack. 

My cutie Evan

Nice to see how fast this is growing now
Kimmy and Jared's last years lambs had to be caught to worm them.  Adam caught all 4 sheep for them.  Millie in the picture took him down, but he didn't let go!  What a great helper he is.  He even landed in sheep poop he said.  They sure are blessed to have him and so am I!
Blanch and her lamb...loved this picture so borrowed it from Kimmy
I just keep borrowing cute pictures!  Eli and his sheep for the fair he's training

Loved this of Wyatt and the cat too, so borrowed another one

As I am writing this, I can hear the wind howling outside.  I will be so glad when it stops.  We went to church.  Loved the worship, especially the song "I believe He'll do it Again".  Not sure of the actual title, but it's by Elevation and it is such a great faith song!  I am believing that for Melissa and so is she.  Bill and I prayed with people at the alter after church.  We prayed for our friend Olivia and soon after we were home, she texted me and God had already answered.  Praising God for His goodness!  After church, we picked Melissa, Evan and Jack up and went to eat at Tony's.  We all got breakfast except Evan.  He got a burger and fries.  The food was delicious.  Bruce left for Sebewaing to pick up Hailey and Ally from a friend's.  They had a sleepover.  We came home and were tired, so we took naps.  Peyton and Isaac are sick so we are praying for them. Sure don't like it when my sweeties are sick.  Praying no one else gets it.   I am picking up Melissa's boys tomorrow for Vikki.  I will probably be picking them up for school for a few days until I know they are all healthy.  I don't want Melissa getting sick.  We warmed up a cabbage bun for dinner.  We weren't very hungry after our big lunch.  We watched When Calls the Heart.
