I got up at 7:30, got ready, put ingredients in both bread machines to make dough, then left to pick up some things so I could make meatloaf, plus other groceries I needed.  I went to Meijer first.  A lady stopped by my car and asked me if I remembered her.  It was my neighbor, Sandy, who lives across the street.  I told her yes and we talked for a few minutes in the parking lot.  We went inside and each got a cart and talked more.  She told me she gave up smoking after she got Covid bad.  I was happy to hear that.  It isn’t an easy thing to do. She told me she was having back problems, so I asked her if she wanted me to pray for her.  She did, so we prayed in the entrance way.  I invited her to come to church with us on Easter Sunday and told her the times.  I love God moments that He gives us.  I also picked up more Easter candy as I am planning on filling Easter baskets this week..  I stopped at Melissa’s for a few minutes, then headed to Walmart.  Picked up some Benadryl with my insurance over the counter card, and some more Easter candy.  I finally found some big crosses.  I like to do the kids baskets with Jesus themes.  Not so easy to find things now that are about the true meaning of Easter.  So sad!  

I went to the post office and mailed the application my dermatologist had mailed me to sign.  Praying this expensive medicine for eczema is covered.  My friend at church, just got on it and it has helped her so much.  She got approved for assistance which I was happy to hear.  She had the same symptoms, so she is praying I get approved for it.

I called Marie to see if she wanted me to make meatloaf or chili for her and Roy today.  She picked meatloaf.  Bill also picked meatloaf, so I made two, and put them in the oven.  I made the roll shapes and put them on the stove to rise.  I mashed some strawberries and put it in a container for them.  I also peeled potatoes and started cooking them.  When the meatloaf was done, I baked the rolls, and cooked a broccoli, cauliflower, mixed with some other veggies.  I talked to Sue a couple of times and told her I was making some rolls for her and would call her when I was coming to drop them off.  I packed up some meatloaf, mashed potatoes and peas for her to have to eat for supper.  I went and met Roy and Marie and gave them the food for them, and then went to Sue’s and dropped off her food.  She gave me some hummingbird food that Catherine R. had given her.  I usually make mine, but this will be handy for when I need some quickly.  I ate when I got home, then Bill and I went to Trinity Rider’s meeting at Ponderosa.  We only ordered dessert, since we ate at home.  Cindy and Lew, our new area reps. came to the meeting too.  Cindy just had surgery and was doing good.  We had fun visiting with people.
