Had a good conversation with Bradley Isbell about working with Servant Life as one of their ministry sites to send people. We hammered out a lot of small details.

Years ago, Miles helped me dig up a small Eleaegnus plant from a bush near his house. It’s just started flowering the last couple of years. This year the fragrance of the plant was fantastic! It’s why I wanted it in the first place. Same for Gardenias!
I filled up my gallon jugs of water today. I’m always looking for the best/fastest way to do it. Last time, I filled them up in the bathtub. This time, I brought my Gorilla Cart around and put all the jugs in them and filled them up right by my back door. It was fast, and I didn’t have to carry jugs down the stairs.
I picked up Penelope and Everly at the bus. We went to Dragon Wok to eat, then back home to see the pup and Dad.
Had some fun chats with the kids at the mission. No homework because they are taking standardized tests.
Went to my office to check the mail.
Don Cheto on the way home.
Keep going! I’ll probably make the top three this week.

Got my health insurance for 2025 squared away. Good input from Tim Deter about wrangling insurance for Jessi. Productive morning.
Warmer today. Back to shorts.
Watered my plants.
Time to refill all the water jugs. The rest are distilled water.
Fun chat with Anthony.
When I was in Georgetown, a deer broke a branch off of my Mom’s frangipani. I made a cutting from it and have been patiently waiting for the next step. Today, I dusted it with rooting powder and covered it with barely damp long leaf sphagnum moss. Then I wrapped the end with a plastic bag and taped it sealed. I’ll wait a couple of weeks and unwrap it and see how it looks.
Always a blessing to talk with my Mom!
Picked up Everly from the bus. We went to Taco Veloz and got food to go so we could go home and check on the pup. He seemed very happy to see us. Went to Huntley Hills Elementary to walk Ryder and pick up Penelope from Drama Club.
We walked .26 miles.
Penelope was happy to see the pup!
Ryder was fine with Everly carrying him around. Remarkably chill dog.
Beauty on our little stroll.
The kids enjoy “painting” on the Thank You envelopes.
Helped one of my kids order a charger for his laptop.
Listened to Don Cheto. Heard a word that I had forgotten.
Watered my little pink magnolia. She’s really suffered from white powder mildew. I need to be proactive next year. Start treatment early.
Sent a text to Charles Deter (my health insurance agent’s brother!) about helping Jessi with her taxes.
Also wrote Pastor Bill Kelly about getting some work done in my house. We need to check on getting a bathtub swapped out for walk in shower.

Ashley and Miles had some big news for us today! They added a puppy! Australian Shepherd/ Labrador mix.
K, J and I went to the Kendall’s house to see the new puppies. Miles and Ashley picked out the grey spotted pup named Ryder. The brown pup is Miles’ parent’s new puppy Ruby.
The girls are so happy!
I carried back a cutting from a Plumeria tree in Nana’s garden. I’ve let it dry out some before putting rooting powder on it. Today I got the Sphagnum moss soaking. I’ll wrap it up with the rooting powder tomorrow.

Trump won, but the votes are still being counted. We were soundly beaten.
Monkeys on the loose!
OYB!
I’ve been learning how to use the loyalty app for BP/Amoco. Amazon and the gas station give me .10 off per gallon. Sometimes it’s hard to figure out.
Peachtree Corners BC hosted the Gwinnett Metro Baptist Association this morning. I was invited. Got to meet some pastors and tell them about our ministry.
Leaders were there from the IMB and from NAMB as well as the GBC.
I picked up the girls from the bus and took them to the Buford Highway Farmers Market.
Then to the Mission. No homework today. I gave the kids some candy and cookies from Germany and Malaysia. Also helped a family get some chairs and tables for a party this weekend.
Don Cheto on the way home. I downloaded the newest episodes this evening. I’m looking forward to hearing them talk about the election since Trump got 1/3 minority votes.
