Thurs, 12/`12/24, Went to VA Hospital in Ann Arbor, went to Chic Fil A, relaxed for an hour, went shopping, had to change party date, Kimmy blessed me with making Christmas cookies for me, Lots of helpers decorated them,

It was only 12 degrees this morning and the wind was really blowing.  The flag 3as beautiful!

Bill is so cute.  He always says to m...take a picture. I would be saying don’t take a picture lol.

Us in line at Chic Fil A.  It went from our side to where you see the cars turned ahead of us and around the other side of the building .  They had workers come up and take our order so it was ready when we got to the window.  They were so friendly.

My yummy chicken strips...there the best!

I got a peppermint shake and Bill got a vanilla shake

My handsome driver!

We had so much fun FaceTiming with Rehvyn and Kenzie

I love hearing him laugh.  Papa really had him laughing playing peek a boo with him.  Kenzie really got him laughing too!

Got up at 6 and got ready to go to the VA Hospital in Ann Arbor.  Bill had to be there at 10 and his CT was supposed to be at 11.  We had good roads and sunshine starting out at 7:30.  When we got about 20 miles from Ann Arbor, it had snowed and the expressway had snow on it.  We had to go slow for a while, then the roads were clear again.  We got to his appointment early.  They took him back right away, then came and got me to go in and sit by him.  They hooked up an IV and also a heart/blood pressure monitor.  He had to have dye for the procedure.  His heart rate had to be down to 60 to have the procedure.  The guy wheeled him out on the ER bed and said it would take 10 minutes.  He had me wait where  was.  They came back right on schedule.  Bill was happy when the guy told him he could have a snack.  Bill picked Lorna Doone Cookies and juice.  Then the guy said I could have a snack too so I picked cheese sticks.  He was a really nice person and when it was time for us to leave, he hurried ahead of us and said he would get the door for us.  

On our way home, we decided to stop at Chic Fil A in Flint because I wanted to try their peppermint shake because I have heard how delicious it is.  They only have them at Christmas time.   We parked, and then a guy told us the inside was closed, but we could go through the drive through.  We were happy we could still get something from there.  We each got a shake and some chicken strips. Everything was really good.

We came home and rested for a while, then went to Burlington and Kroger.  We ended up getting gift cards for Debbie, Tom and Matthew.  We got a few other things, then came home.  Bill dumped the ashpan to our kernel burner because for some reason whether it was the wind or just being so cold, the pellets burned quickly and the pan was pretty full.  I usually empty it but I didn’t trust my hand with it full like that, so Bill did it for me.  I made some adjustments on the feed limit and set it lower.  It will burn a little slower now.  It was so hot I couldn’t stand in front of it for very long.   We read our Bibles. then I checked on the Kernel Burner again and it was burning just right.  

Melissa and Kenzie called me and told me Uncle Tom was sick when Kenzie went to decorate Aunt Debbies Christmas tree.  We decided to postpone our Christmas party at our house from this Saturday til after Christmas.  Bummer, but we sure don’t want sickness spreading through the family.  We let Fred know, the girls and Kenzie, Debbie dand also. Shani. Shani and Steve and Amanda had planned on coming too.  

Now we are planning on going to Fred’s after Bill works at the Marine Corp. Fundraiser tomorrow.  We are going to play cards and Lourdes is making pizza for us.  Then on Saturday, we will be going to our Faith Rider Christmas Party now.
