Sunday, 4/7/19...went to church, Went to lunch with Olivia, Chris and Emerald

Bill, me, Chris, Olivia and Emerald

Transplanted my Christmas Cactus plants into my new planters from my friend Vikki.
I started the big one from one little leaf rooting.  Gayla gave me the other one that she started.

We went to church.  Rody did sound so Peyton and Isaac sat with us.  Melissa and her family sat with us too.  When the worship team was practicing, Peyton and Isaac were playing with a friend and when Isaac heard the music, he said he had to go up to the altar and worship.  He sure loves to worship.  The worship team was so blessed that he did that and all commented.  He went up during the church service too.  I love to see him singing and lifting his hands to the Lord.  After church, we went to Olive Garden with Olivia, Chris and Emerald.  We had a delicious meal and it was nice to get to spend time together.  It was 70 degrees out and beautiful.  I went outside and transplanted my two cactus plants.  Spent a very relaxing day and enjoyed time outside in the beautiful weather.  

Saturday, 4/6/19...Hung the two blue bird nests Kimmy gave me. Went to lunch with Hailey and Melissa, Watched Jeffrey Peanut move into his new home, Went on a motorcycle ride

Bill and I took a nice motorcycle ride today.  Beautiful out in the mid 60's

We slept in this morning which was very nice.Ate breakfast, then Bill went outside and I did some laundry.  I went outside after that and we hung the bird houses Kimmy gave us.  They are so nice.  The Russell team made them and did a great job.  Love how we can open the side to clean them out.
Love seeing my hyacinths, daffodils, and other spring flowers coming up.  What a beautiful spring day.  Melissa, Hailey and I went to Coco Loco's for lunch.  It was delicious!  Hailey got a half order of their meat nachos.  Melissa and I split a half order and were so full.  Hailey couldn't eat all of hers.
A half order is a huge amount.  We had a good time and nice visit.  I took them home and we watched their guinea pig, Jeffrey, move into his new home.  The Herzbergers gave it to Bruce and Melissa.
Sure is a nice one.  It took a while and lots of help for Jeffrey to make it to the second level.
Bill and I went on a motorcycle ride.  Went to Vikki's so dad could look at the couch she got. He agreed it wouldn't fit unless they took it apart.  She is just going to sell it, and get a different one.
We went in and visited for a while.  After that, we went for a ride in the country.  It was so much fun. We stopped at Riverside for a burger and then went home.  Vikki called and they found a couch.  I took the truck to them to use to pick it up.  Dropped it off at their house and then came home.  Watched the Michigan State game.

Friday, 4/5/19...Took Hailey to school, Took Melissa to therapy, Went to Frankenmuth for wedding Bill did, Dinner with Debbie and Jeff

4 huge blossoms opened up, one still opening.  What an amazing flower

I woke Hailey up at 6:30.  I made her pancakes and was surprised when she told me she eats them plain with nothing on them just like Bill.  I played Elevation worship on the TV while she was eating.  We packed a snack for her to have at school.  She only has a half day today.  Bill went out the door and came back in to tell us the deck was icy.  We left a little early just incase the roads were slippery.  They weren't.  I dropped her off and then came home until I had to leave to take Melissa to therapy.  I went to Meijer's and picked up the rest of the things for my hope totes for the Rescue Mission.  Picked up some Easter candy too.  Came home and put stuff away, and then left to get Melissa.  Dropped her off and then hurried home so Bill and I could leave for the wedding in Frankenmuth.  It was at the Prost.  They got married outside by the Gazebo.  Afterward we went in and had appetizers.  They were yummy.  Bill didn't see anything on the menu he would eat, so we decided to go have dinner at Zehnde'rs with Debbie and Jeff Davis.  We had the perch all you can eat buffet.  It was so good.  We had a nice visit and then left for home.  Came home and watched the news.

Typical day.  At four, I went to Hailey's track meet at Freeland.  I finally found her and let her know where I was sitting.  It sure was cold and windy there.  Enjoyed watching her run and after she was finished, we left right away because we had to stop for food at Taco Bell and then get home to meet Kimmy, Jared and the boys.  Jared drove us all in the van....I sure was glad I had my seat belt on.  

Actually, though, he did a great job.  We got to the concert and found our seats.  We walked upstairs, but found out from someone up there that we were on the main floor.  We had great seats.  We went and got popcorn and drinks while we were waiting for the concert to start.  It was a sold out concert.  The music was great and their voices were amazing.  They were so talented on the instruments too.  We had so much fun.  I loved the boys and Hailey's excitement.  So happy they love Christian music.  Hailey spent the night at my house.  Kimmy let me know when they were home safe.  I love my family!

Wednesday, 4/3/19...Walked at SportsZone, Went to McDonald's Nursery, Went to Melissa's, took her to therapy, Went to get an oil change, Went shopping, Picked Melissa up, Went to Applebees,

Three blossoms open now

Bill and I walked 2 miles at the SportsZone.  Came home and had oatmeal and read our Bibles.

I went to McDonald's nursery and then to Melissa's.  We visited for a while and then I took Melissa to therapy.  She sure is walking better with her quad cane.  I'm not near as nervous about her using it now.  I went to Toyota and got an oil change.  Only took 15 minutes in their quick lube department.  Nice with a Prius. Only need an oil change every 10,000 miles.  I came home for a while.  Left early and went to Kohl's and Penney's before picking Melissa up from therapy.  We went to Applebee's for lunch.  We got all you can eat Soup and Salad.  We both got Oriental Chicken Salads with our soup.  We both tried tomato soup, I had onion soup and she had Loaded Potato soup.  We sure were stuffed when we got done eating.  We were so hungry when we got there.  Came home and took a nap.  Bill and I went to different Sports Stores and looked at basketball backboards.  He got a Philly Steak Sandwich from Charlies.  I was too full still, so only had a cup of water.  Came home and watched a Hallmark Movie.  

Tuesday, 4/2/19..Went to our breakfast, Visited Melissa, Did lesson for small group, Went to small group

Four blossoms, two need to open yet

We went to our breakfast.  I visited Melissa afterward.  Had a really nice visit.  Talked with Kimmy and made plans for the For King and Country Concert on Thursday.  Can't wait!  Talked with Vikki.  Did small group lesson.  It was  a long one.  Had a great small group.  Everyone came.  Great lesson and good discussion.  

Monday, 4/1/19...Walked at the SportsZone, Power went out there, Kenzie and Travis came over, Bill took them to look for a car, Went to see Movie, "Unplanned" with Wes and Gayla

Pendant Kenzie made for me for my birthday...Love it

Pretty Scarf Kenzie gave me for my birthday...Really nice material

Another blossom opened up before we went to bed

Blossom is open all the way now. Three more are opening

Bill and I walked at the SportsZone.  When there were 3 laps left to go, the power went off.  We walked around the track while the lights were off and when we got back where you start, the worker said we had to go downstairs until the lights came back on.  I went to Pat's to get stuff for goulash and Bill stayed and talked to Charlie.  He was still playing cards, but couldn't see once the lights went out.  Most people were just leaving.  There was a breakfast going on because they were celebrating SportsZone's anniversary.  Bill and Charlie stayed for that.  They were able to keep making breakfast.  They were also giving out hand sanitizer, granola bars, fruit bars, oranges and apples.  I took some home with me.  I put groceries away and than ate breakfast.  First I made up some organic instant oatmeal, but then realized the microwave wouldn't work without power. (We didn't have power either)  I at Honey Nut Cheerios instead.  Bill got home and we were reading our Bibles when the power came back on.  When I was finished, I made the goulash.  Kenzie and Travis got here a little before 11. She gave me a beautiful wire wrapped pendant, a beautiful scarf, and a tube of gel face mask for me.  She also brought me some whole dried strawberries to try.  YUM!  So sweet of her!  Thanks Kenzie.  We ate goulash, Kenzie's favorite,  and asparagus for lunch. We had a really nice visit with them.   We really like Travis.  He's very kind hearted, smart, and talented.  After that, Travis, Kenzie and Bill went to look for cars.  They wanted him to help them find a good one.  I prayed for a good one.  They found a Hyundai Accent.  Super clean and nice.  Low mileage and a pretty color.  After they came back and showed it to me, they left for Vikki's.  We met Wes and Gayla at the movie theater.  Unplanned was hard to watch, but very informative and a great ending.  I can't see how anyone could be for abortion (killing babies).  There are some very hard hearted people out there. Our nation should put a stop to this murder.   It's as horrible as Hitler and his followers with the Jews.  God help our nation please.  Wes and Gayla came over.  I warmed up goulash for Bill and Wes, then we played 3-13.  Bill won the first game and Gayla won the second game.
