Saturday, June 20

We started the day at 5:30 a.m. with Brooklyn and Brinley, particularly Brooklyn who decided not to sleep in late.  So I made some eggs and got her going and played until Brinley and Amber woke up.  Have the girls stay overnight is awesome; I wouldn't trade it for anything, but the experience definitely takes some energy.  We met Kenzie to get the kids to her when we were on our way with Stormy the cat to the vet for a follow-up shot.  That dang cat better stay healthy the rest of the summer.  Then after his appointment, we headed to Reason's to pick up beef that we had ordered...man is that stuff expensive.  Then I had some time to piddle around with the trucks and trailer, which none of it went as smoothly as I had hoped.  The bed mat in the Dodge isn't going to fit the GMC.  The lock on the toolbox on the GMC isn't going to work and it's going to cost $60 to replace.  I took the bicycles out of the Dodge because we didn't get a ride on on Thursday, and the Dodge went to Darren's to look as pretty as possible and see if we could sell it.  After that Carmen arrived and we had a chance to visit along with some Pizza Joynt pizza, and we watched Wonder Woman, which I had never seen.

Prayer for My Heart

Holy Spirit...
