Precious Memories
Ruth, Diane and I walked but I only walked one round as today is Berean day. I arrived to find Shirly, Sharon and Vonnie already there and waiting to get in. Skip couldn't come today. The big news at Berean is we now have internet. We were able to use the postage machine.
Marvin brought in cucumbers from his garden and shared them with us. We all took some. He had to leave early today but got done what was needed. The rest of us worked until about 10:30 am. We didn't have a lot of mail but enough to keep us busy. We had left over Chantilly cake so I took that over to Lukie, she has the hospice helpers there pretty much full time now for Wayne. Please remember to pray for the Unsicker family, Wayne really is a man after God's own heart, he is such a wonderful servant, humble, loving and a very generous man. I know he deserves his reward but we will sure miss him here. I drove first down to Meisters to drop off studies then to the Hanna City post office to drop off the Bibles and studies going out today. Mark's car needed to be charged so I drove straight to the farm house, parked the Tesla in the garage, hooked it up to the charger then walked home. David and Elisabet followed me in. Stephanie and Israel were already here swimming as was Anna and Braelyn. I got my suit on and joined them in the lake. Diane arrived right after that. I think we floated or swam for hours. At 2:00 pm the guy from Spoon River arrived (Stephanie was just leaving and saw him) I had to get out of the lake to take him down to the water softener. We are going to continue to rent this one and signed a 3 month contract. He also checked the level of the propane tank and gave Mark the number. After he left I started making the chicken salad for tonight. Braelyn came in and visited for a while and took some of that home. I served it with those wonderful fresh cucumbers from Marvin's garden. After supper Penny and Tessa needed to be teased. Tessa showed right away but I needed Mike's help with her. Valiant got the job done. Penny was out back in the pond pasture but came right to me. I walked her over to Evan and she squealed and then did a huge barrel kick with her hind legs. I thought she must be out but then she whirled around and started showing to him. Mike tied her but when I brought Evan up she kicked again and this time I walloped her. She stopped and then stood well for him. I will mark her down but am pretty sure she is either going out or gone out. I know she was in this morning but it was too hot when I came home from Berean and I wanted to wait until this evening when it was cooler. When I came back it was a good time to water the tomato plants and flowers. Mom has some beautiful flowers out on the deck ( I think Rhonda planted them) I think that because she wants to make sure they get watered and live.
The purple petunias are my favorite. The smell and color bring back memories of Baer Greenhouse and weeding the beds. I loved the smell when I would walk into the glass houses to start weeding the beds. The work wasn't fun and exciting but that smell sure does bring precious memories.
