Mon.-Memorial Day. Picked up Mom and Dad from Tom's a little after 11 and drove them to Happy Valley and showed them the new house. Came back here for lunch with the guys-7 layer salad and berry cobbler. Susan got home from Makenzie's around 2 and Lucy was so glad to see her. Took Mom and Dad on a Polaris ride over to HV. Phil was making hay. Philip was working on his house. Michael worked around the farm in the morning and watched some business videos in the eve. Meredith, Janelle and Micah, Freeman, Alli, and Nathan came for a supper of cold turkey, cheese, tomato, lettuce, onion sandwiches on homemade rolls, 7 layer salad, red beet eggs, pickles, canned sweet peppers, potato salad, macaroni salad, ice cream sodas, and I think that's all. Nathan is walking on the grass now. It's just the cutest thing. Susan went to Austin's bonfire. Michael and Philip went over to Philip's house to move some furniture. Phil went back out to the fields. Freeman and Alli and Nathan went home. Mom and Dad went with Helen to Dr. Forands. Janelle and Micah went home. I'm about ready to hit the sack. I put this on facebook this morning. "It is hard to be critical of someone for whom you are praying." Something like that. It really works. When I start to feel critical of someone and I begin to pray for them, I stop feeling critical of them. I invest time in praying and I don't want to cancel it out by criticizing. I think it's impossible to hold both in your brain and spirit at the same time. Sort of like faith and fear. I can only entertain one at a time.
Tues.-Very busy day getting my implant site check up out at Richmond and going to Farmville for Homeschool Grad meeting.
Wed.-Lots of organizing for the next few days-lists, Susan's display, etc.
Thurs.-Went out to set up tables at New Life for grad. Michael had brought them up with Chuck's help last eve. The Shiflets helped and we got it done. Did some chicken pellet shopping and quick walmart run and met Lisa at Merck's for lunch. What a dear friend. Came home and replanted the pepper plants and planted sunflower seeds. Nathan came in the eve. and we took gator rides. Susan and I watched a movie later and Michael is on his way home from a trip to Ohio and back today to pick up a kitchen counter for HV.
Fri.-Grad rehearsal!
Sat.-Graduation Day! Beautiful service and heart-warming surprise thanksgiving video to parents from graduates at end of program. Susan went to Claire's overnight. Congratulations Susan!
Sun.-Good church service. Relaxed in afternoon. Susan and Philip to Jenny's for her grad party. Freeman and Family came in eve. Nathan and I went for a gator ride to Happy Valley. He fell asleep on the way home and slept on my lap when we came in. Susan came home with news of basketball tournaments starting up. Three on three. She's with Danny F. and Josiah J. So excited. Made two angel food cakes tonight because Phil found two nests of eggs outside of the pen and I had to go through each egg. Gave at least half of them to Davi. It's going to be a busy summer. Next thing is Nathan's birthday next Sat. and Chi Alpha camp out here on Friday and Sat. Then the pig roast. On the 20th.
