Isaac trying to beat the cougar....each one would light up after he pushed the button.  He had to make it to the end before the last one lit up

Peyton milking the cow

Isaac milking on the other side

We loved this horse...made us think of Celeste..Kimmy's horse that we loved

Isaac wasn't to sure about getting too close

These lily pads were so huge this year you could hardly see the pond at the zoo

We go so close to this peacock we could have touched him

This tree was interesting

Taking off from our house

Loved this picture of Dick they had at the church

Vikki called and wanted me to go to the zoo with them.  Bill was collecting money for the Marine Corp. league so he couldn't go.  The zoo was so beautiful with everything growing so beautifully. The animals were all out except the wolves.  It was enjoyable walking with Vikki, Rody and the kids.  We rode the train too.  Thank you Vikki.  When I got home, those of us from Faith Riders met at our house and rode together to Dick Wilson's Memorial Service.  Ten of us rode together, 7 motorcycles.  Cheryl, Arnie, and Mike met us there.  The memorial service was very nice.  Good message on salvation too!  There were many there.  They had a very nice luncheon afterward at the church.  Waited all day to see pictures of Hailey in her homecoming dress.  She looked beautiful.  I've been praying for her all day.

Friday, 9/27/19...Went to Funeral for Jeff's Dad

Took Melissa to therapy, then went home to get Bill.  We went to St. Charles to Jeff's dad's funeral.  Pastor Jeff Sat with us.  We went to the dinner at the VFW afterwards.  Sat with Pastor Jeff again and also 3 men who work with Jeff who were very nice to talk to.  The food was from Richville and was so delicious.  We picked Melissa up from therapy right after we got to Saginaw.  Dropped her off home and came home and rested for a half hour.  Went to meet Vikki at Aunt Ann's house to watch the homecoming parade.  It started raining.  By the time I got there it was raining pretty hard.  I decided to leave before they closed the road.  Vikki, Rody and the kids watched the parade.  It quit raining for it which was great.  Melissa, Bruce and Evan came over and brought yummy baked beans with burger that Bruce made for a tailgate party that was supposed to be tonight, but it was cancelled because of the rain.  Lucky us!!!  They visited for a while.  Evan said the books of the Bible really good and also played the keyboard really good for us.  They left so they could go rent a movie to watch while they eat the popcorn we dropped off last night.  We relaxed and watched tv.  Bill brought me a milky way candy bar and handed it to me.  What a sweetie!

Thurs.,9/26/19...Went to Funeral Home for Jeff Davis's Dad's showing, Nana Time with Evan, Showed movie at Rescue Mission

Selfie of me and Evan on our "Nana Time" Picnic 

Evan wanted pizza and breadsticks from Little Caesar's

Evan...he was a little cold, so the blanket went with him

Popcorn that was donated by Goodrich Theaters for our Movie Night at the Rescue Mission.  

Talked to Melissa this morning.  Bruce made it home safely last night.  She has a doctor appt. today because she is congested.  Doesn't have a fever isn't feeling really bad, but doesn't want it to turn in to pneumonia so wants to get on an antibiotic.  I sure am praying for her.  I took her for a blood test this morning. We went to Souper Cafe afterward.  We split a #1...she had the soup and I had the half sandwich which is as big as a regular sandwich.  I took her home and after that Bill and I went to the funeral home to pay our respects to our friend Jeff whose father died.  We stopped on the way home to get Bill some burgers and a shake at Tony's to take home and eat.  I picked up pizza and breadsticks at Little Caesar's (which is what Evan picked) and then went to get Evan.  We went to Bercovich Park and ate while we talked.  Evan wanted to pray after I prayed for our food.  He prayed for anyone who has problems that God would help them.  He prayed such a nice prayer.  We had a nice talk about school, God and lots more.  I sure love him!  Love my "Nana Time" with my grandkids.  I came home and we packed stuff in the car and left to get our popcorn donation from Goodrich Theater.  Then we went to the Rescue Mission.  We had 11 come in for the movie.  They loved the movie, "Coureageous'.   So many great comments during the movie and they all commented on how they loved the movie when it was done.  I love our Faith Rider movie night at the Rescue Mission.  My heart is always so touched and I leave so blessed.  We stopped on our way home and dropped the huge bag of popcorn that was left off at Melissa's.  Bill stayed in the car.  The boys came down and hugged me and were so excited to see that much popcorn.  Jack said it's his favorite night of the year when we do that. The boys were all so cute.  I had to go get Hailey to get my hug and show her the big bag.  She said "Wow" when she saw it.  Nice to see Bruce back at home.  

Wed., 9/25/19...Did my devotions, Picked Hailey up at 12:30, Picked the Boys up, Vikki, Peyton and Isaac came over, Visited Marie and Roy

Hat day at school for Peyton and Isaac.  Cute blonde and adorable redhead

Knockout roses sure have grown

Peyton

Bill and I put one of the glider swing seats in the garage.  Also moved the cushion chairs to the table into the garage.  Took hummingbird feeders down to clean.  Cut fat off 10 lbs. of chicken breast and packed into bags.  As I was finishing, I looked at the clock and noticed it was 12:15.  My alarm didn't go off because I turned my phone off last night for small group and turned the volume down and didn't turn it back on.  I was supposed to pick Hailey up at 12:15 at Applebees.  I asked Bill to put the chicken bags in the refrigerator and clean up my mess while I took off.  I texted Hailey and told her I was on my way. I asked her if I should pick her up at the school after 12:30 which was a second choice of pick up.  She said yes, so I headed there.  She was very happy because she got to volunteer at the Animal Shelter.  She loved the cats and now wants a cat.  Only $50 she said.  Melissa and I were talking on the phone and told her about her mom's basement cat story and she got a good laugh.  So did Melissa and I.  I came home and then went to pick Jack, Evan and Max up at school.  I dropped them off and visited for five minutes and then remembered Vikki, Peyton and Isaac were at my house waiting for me.  Vikki wanted more of my chili.  That made me happy.  After they left, I took chili, crackers, bread, and cookies to Marie and Roy.  She was doing great after her back surgery, so she was up for 3 hours doing stuff around the house. Now she is paying for it because she's in pain.  Not good to overdo.  We had a great visit and then we all prayed before I left.  They sure a a sweet couple!
