Friday, 11/21/25, Bill and I went to my Pt and OT appts. Vikki and Kimmy came over, Travis dropped Rehvyn off, Melissa and Hailey came over, Hailey brought delicous cookies, Bill ran took care of the leaves, I made rolls, pies, cheesy potatoes, and got the ham ready in the crock pot.

Rehvyn was so cute and fun today

I got up early and added water and yeast to the bread dough and started it.  Bill got up a little later.  We both got ready and went to Covenant M. for my PT appt first at 7:45, then my OT appt at 8:45.  We had to be there at 7 so we were early birds this morning.  It all went well and because my surgeon doesn’t cut the muscle, I won’t have to worry about 90 degrees when my pain level allows that I can bend and put my shoe on etc.  I know I will be thankful for that.  

We came home and Kimmy and Vikki were at our house.  I got the bread dough out of the bread makers and made rolls and baked them.  I was going to make 2 more batches, but Kimmy told me she already made one batch and has another one set to go that Jared just has to push the button for.  Such sweet helpers.  Kimmy is making an apple pie too.  Vikki is making the mashed potatoes.  I sure appreciate the help this year when it isn’t fun to move.  

Kenzie FaceTimed us and showed us Rehvyn.  He was a cute as ever!  Travis ended up bringing him over and he’s spending the night at his Grammy Vikki’s.  He loved the Christmas Globe and loved pushing the button for the music to start and stop.  He also loved the Fisher Price Nativity set.  His old stand by shopping cart, trucks and blocks still got used too.  He also loved the new stroller Vikki got for $5.  He pushed the baby in it right away.

Of course Kimmy and Vikki had a project to work on.  They put a camera up in the basement for me to try.  Vikki thought it wasn’t working because it wouldn’t connect, so we took it down and she tried it in a different spot.  Kimmy and I were telling her we should go try it upstairs, so she finally did that.  Then she realized she wasn’t pushing a button on the back of the camera she needed to push.  Problem solved.  They went back down and hung it up again in the original spot.

Kimmyand I had sub sandwiches and Vikki had spaghetti O’s and meatballs.  She wanted one of the rolls, but Kimmy kept me strong to make her wait til tomorrow like the rest of us.  Melissa called and she and Hailey came over.  At first, Hailey didn’t want to drive and waste her gas, when she thought Melissa would drive.  Then Melissa’s gas light was on so she did’t want to drive.  Hailey found out Rehvyn was here, and all of a sudden she wanted to drive here.  She’s so cute.  She brought delicious cookies that she made.  We all loved them!  She had turkey and cheese when she got here.  We had a very nice day!  The girls had to leave before it was going to get dark because they didn’t want to drive in the dark.  I made a chocolate banana pie and a banana cream pie.  I also made up the cheesy potatoes so they are ready to bake in the morning.  I had a sliced ham, but cut it up into slices better and got it in the crockpot insert so I can start it right in the morning.  I washed the bread machine inserts so I can get them put away.  Bill brought up the turkey and the Roaster oven.  We made the dining room table big.  I did a load of laundry because everytime I use this special body disinfectant in the shower, I need clean towels, washcloths, clothes, pjs.  I am keeping the laundry up so when’s it’s closer to surgery day, I have lots of clean things ready.  No knitting today.  It’s already 11:39 pm and I am ready to get to bed.  It was a very fun day.  

Oh, Vikki picked me up a couple of foaming hand soaps from Bath and Body Works for $2.99 each.  Such a great deal.  I may go back and get some more.  The sale is good until Wednesday.
