Friday, 11/13/20, Kimmy and the boys came over, Vikki and the twins came over, Bill met Charlie for coffee


Kimmy brought me new pictures of the boys today!  I am so happy! What handsome grandsons!  

Bruce and Melissa took Jack and Evan to the park to rollerblade and hang out yesterday.  These are some pictures of all the fun...couldn't post the cute video.  Such fun for the boys!

Eli and Nana...he's almost as tall as me...

Adam, Papa and Jacob sure had fun playing 3-13


This wall switch had a big gap between it and the wall.  Kimmy cut out a piece behind it and now it looks great

The air conditioner plug on the left had a piece out above the top of it and she fixed it too

The bottom area of the ceiling divider to the family room had lots of loose pieces hanging from a leak we had.  We got the leak fixed and were waiting for covid to get over before hiring someone to fix it.  Kimmy fixed it perfectly today for us.  I will paint it tomorrow.

Eli took his mask down for me to take this picture.

We had fun watching the farmer get the sugar beets harvested

Big equipment
This picture of Eli with Wyatt is a heart melter

Kimmy and the boys came over.  I told Kimmy about not having hot water at the kitchen sink because somethings wrong with our faucet.  We still had cold water though.  She looked it up on google and was seeing things to try to fix it.  Bill went to coffee with Charlie, and he called me to tell me he had stopped at Menard's and wanted to know if he should pick up a faucet.  He found one with a lifetime warranty that was $200 and he could get $100 off of it.  I told him about Kimmy looking up how to fix the one we have and told him to wait on buying one.  When he got home, Kimmy showed him the video and they did it and fixed it so now we have hot water coming out with lots of pressure.  Yay Kimmy and Bill!  Next I was showing Kimmy the new light Bill hung in the kitchen, and was showing her how it dimmed.  The wall plate was sticking out quite a ways and Bill said I should just caulk around it.  She worked on it and cut a small corner out behind the plate and it fits perfectly and looks great now.  Then she fixed spot  by the air conditioner plug that needed some spackling.  She fixed it and I sanded and painted it.  Looks great now!  After that she started, scraping where we had the water leak and all the damage was.  She got it cleaned off and then spackled and sanded a few layers and got it looking great and all set for me to paint.  Thank you Kimmy.  You saved us lots of $ by working so hard and having the know how to fix stuff  You are amazing.  I touched up spots in the family room, utility room, kitchen and dining room that needed painting.   Everything looks so nice.  The boys helped Bill put his snow blower on the tractor and the cover to keep the snow off from him while we did the stuff inside. Thanks boys.  Vikki and the kids got here after they finished their school lessons.  We all ate pizza and burger buns for lunch except Kimmy.  I made her a big roll and she cut it in half and made a turkey and cheese sandwich.   Vikki got some Cranberry Apple Juice for us to try and it was delicious.  Bill, Jacob and Adam played 3-13 afterward.  Jacob was the big winner.  The other kids had fun playing together.  Jacob hooked the computer to the tv and showed us his minecraft stuff.  Pretty amazing!  Lots of hard work for Kimmy but sure was a great day and sure got lots done.  I talked to Melissa a couple of times.  She had an appointment on the phone with her doctor for her finger.  He said it takes 6 months to heal and however it is at that time is how it will stay.  Praying it is totally better.  After Kimmy left, I vacuumed and dusted everything and scrubbed the floors.

Kimmy and finding solutions...that's her! She fixed our toilet handle with baking powder and vinegar...and when the problem returned after a year...I fixed it using her solution! What a girl. I am lucky to have her!
