Ruth, Joan and I walked this morning, all went well until I had to ask them to slow down just a bit on the hill. These mortal bodies really do start to break down when they hit 70. Well mine is anyway but hopefully it is just temporary. We ran into Mark and he was looking at some of the dead locust trees that needed to be cut down.
Joan decided 3 of them need to go. Below just one of them is pictured.
Mark needed my help this morning on the garage. I didn't have to work on the garage I just needed to drive the tractor with him in the cage. He first took down the old basketball back board.
Once that was down, he needed to remove all of the ribs. So we can get the new metal siding on this North side of the garage. That meant I needed to back up the tractor and move it from side to side and his cage up and down. This is not a fun job, I was worried about accidently dumping him out of the cage or running into the garage but got the job done.
I needed to quit at 11:15 am to pick up Sarah's van so I could pick up the girls from school. Of course had to go in to see the progress. Brian was there installing lights in the living room. Rhoda was there helping Sarah lay floor.
Out on the deck was a huge pile of cleaning supplies. Sarah told me they were all left at the house when they bought it.
I helped myself to a gallon of bleach as there were 3 of those. I sure hope she doesn't throw it away until we get to pick through it. I was about 5 minutes early picking up Zion, Eden and River and right then my phone was blowing up with texts. It started with Rhonda's phone but it wasn't Rhonda, it was her cousin using her phone telling us Rhonda is very sick, violently vomiting and terribly dizzy, and they can't get hold of Spark. I was in Peoria, Ruth was with mom and Joan on her way to Chicago to pick up one of her kids. That left just Rachel to find Spark and run him down to the shop to meet Jake and Andi and go into Peoria to rescue Rhonda. Spark took her to Proctor ER but it was so busy they were sitting in the car hoping the sickness would go away. I haven't heard if this passed or they had to go in for treatment. Rhonda thought it was a bad case of vertigo, while her cousins thought it might be a reaction from some of her meds.
Zion came to the car with a gold coin she won because she did so well on her paper.
It was the kind of coin that had chocolate inside. Pretty neat prize. I took them straight to the apartment to change then went down to my house to get lunch for them. They were taken to mom's on the golf cart so Ruth could go home. After lunch the girls went out to the playground to play and were only out there a short time before Sarah picked them up. Joan got back from Chicago at 8:30 pm. We are working on tomorrow's plans for Berean as we still don't have the wheel chair van back. We WILL make it work, both mom and I need to be there. It was raining on the way back to my house this evening and already getting cold.
