Emotional

 On our walk this morning David and Rachel were heading somewhere with their truck and trailer. David had a tail light out. This tail light went out years ago and he fixed it then. This is how he fixed it. 

In case you can't see how he fixed it, below is a little better picture of the non working light.
He didn't even use a 'real' tupperware, just one of those cheap knock offs. He told Rachel he needs a new bulb and a new container. Hmmm I wonder if that makes him a redneck? After breakfast I spent some time cleaning out our closet before going over to mom's house. There I worked on cleaning out the coat closet. That took about an hour. I found lots of medical equipment from the last 4 years and 8 months. 
All of the puzzles and games were taken downstairs where we are laying everything out for family to go through. I found a huge mother's day card we gave to mom and everyone signed.
We didn't just sign, we all wrote something and my ears started watering as I read them. 
No wonder mom kept this card. I left then and want to my house to start cleaning out the 2 upstairs bedroom closets. Diane was cleaning out mom's desk and found letters and cards mom kept written by her children and she too got emotional. She found a note from mom giving her quilt to Hannah as Hannah was with her when she bought it. We all knew she wanted Hannah to have it but didn't realize she actually wrote that out in 2019. Mark had all of his financial papers probably for the 49 years we have been married stored in tubs in those upstairs closets. Those were hauled downstairs. I have a lot of show equipment, Ribbon's vaulting surcingle, the swords, the fancy capes. Lots of Christmas decorations, extra towels, bedding and pillows for the 2 airbnbs and more. A lot of it was hauled down stairs until I ran out of room in our small living room. How could 2 closets hold so much? I was glad to quit and take a long shower to get ready for church.  David Beutel had the message tonight and I felt it was just for me. God really IS in charge. To watch that click HERE. After church we went to Culvers for a late supper. I sat next to Teresa and asked at our table if anyone knew someone who needed a hospital bed. Teresa immediately replied, "I DO!" Her 19 year old son Brandon really does need one so we have found a home for that. Joan is going to be looking for a new to her used washing machine and if she can find one in Peoria she will borrow the truck, drop off the bed and hopefully pick up a washer soon. On the way home from church an airplane flew right in front of us. The picture is fuzzy as the plane was moving pretty fast. The top light is the moon and the other lights are the plane as it was coming toward us.
Mark and Mackenson got lots of weed spraying done today. We are both tired.
