Alta and Medicare

 Well, I woke up thinking about flowers AND then tried to remember if I had shut off the hydrant on the south side of the CSA.  SO at 4:15 I went out to check ... NOPE!!!  No excuse. Just didn't get it shut off forgot!!I stayed up, had devo, drove to Alta, worked until 10:30 and then headed to IG to see Dr. Veltri.  Jensen came about 10:15.  Jill was so kind to let them get anything they could use.  My Dr. appointment went well.  He said I am a  doing a pretty good job taking care of myself.  We talked about my lack of good sleep and he gave me a prescription I could try.  Zo ... something.  At home Denny and Brooks were cleaning up the tree branches.  and getting a dead rabbit from under that deck. I watered my flowers  .... with a timer on my phone to prevent forgetting to shut it off.  Anabel and Missy ordered things she needs for college.  Anabel is spending the night with Sophi.  Brooks is going to Logan's

I prayed a lot!!  "I still GOT it!!!" was his exclamation!!   Anabel took a great picture of trees on Lake Superior.

Happy birthday jack!!!

 We are so happy to have a 9 year old grandson!!!  We love the way you care for people and show them God's love.  






I headed to Omaha at 6, made it to CoramDeo Church for the 8 service.  Jensens had a nice 3 minutes life in Nepal summary.  I made a quick trip to Trader Joes between the first 2 services and then after their talk at second service I went to Candlewood to hear Rory and hang with Kathy.  It was a great short visit.  Home by 2:30.  Jensens made it back around 4.  I had made flowers to share with Joie, Nancy R. and Kathy W.

Happy Fourth of July!!!

I was up for devo and to make egg casserole.  Evan's flight got canceled and so they could help with water bottle distribution at the parade.  Then Evan, Missy and Phillip  headed to Omaha to catch a flight for Evan to get back to Washington DC. (which was canceled and he ended up staying with Jensens in their motel provided by CoramDeo. I filled cloth bags with 6 water bottles and the rest of them passed the water into the crowd.  After the parade we came home to chill, naps and then Denny and Brooks mowed.  I ordered Casey's pizza which we took to BC.  First time being redneck fireworks watchers from lawn chairs in the truck bed.  Then we sat on sheets on the BS hill.  Amazing fireworks!!! 25 minutes of continuous beautiful bombs bursting in air.  It took a while to get out of the parking lot, so we just sat in the back and watched the cars inch their way out to the road.  Brooks like to shoot rabbits  $5

Storm during the night.

 I slept thru the storm, but only slept less than 4 hours.  I got up and just was alive.  Most got up around 9 and Denny fixed breakfast. Anabel fixed Denny and I iced coffee.   I ran over to Cathy''s and bought $15 - 12 annuals.  Jensens went into Ig rec center and I went to pull weeds.  I showered and Denny fixed picked eggs.  We grilled hamburgers and had cottage cheese chop suey.  Mark and Lauren had their baby girl. Liilian Beth.  Thank you Jesus.

Home with Jensens

 I slept until 7 something.  WOW!!! Now for me that's a long time.  Note to self.  Denny reminded me to take the magnesium that he got per Fay F. to help with sleep ...  over 6 hours.  for the win.  Missy, Anabel and I headed to IG for a Dr. appointment to check for tubercles for her college enrollment.  It all checked out o.  lShe could just get a blood draw.   Anabel was (horrified) that 4 vials of blood were drawn.  We came home to visit under the pine trees.  Evan went in to meet Josh for lunch.  We went in around 2 too get Brooks debit card to work and a BB workout off Brooks and a 4 mile run for Anabel and Missy.  I washed the car, picked up things at bidding war, bought cheap sparkly sandals and a pink jacket.   Picture is a Evan inDC at a Marco Rubio senate hearing.
