Basil is the cutest kitty

She loves it when Eli gives her treats and is so cute begging for them

She loves to have us scratch under her neck

I was blessed to have these two grandsons have the day off school when I visited with Vikki

I went at 7 and had my pre surgery blood tests and also my family doctor’s blood tests done.  I thought I was getting them all done at once.  Then the girl told me I couldn’t have one blood test because it needed approval by my insurance company.  She asked me to take this paper to my doctor so they could get it approved and sign it and then I could go back to have the blood test.  Vikki called and said she was on her way to my house.  I told her I had to run the paper to my doctor’s office, so she said she would pick up some food and then come.  I passes her on my way to the doctor’s office and we stopped and she told me she picked me up a bagel for me to have when I get back.  I took it into the doctor’s office and they hadn’t ever seen a form like that before.  Well come to find out, it was actually on the pre surgery blood tests that my orthopedic doctor called in.  My doctor’s office girl, Abby, was faxing it to them and I was supposed to call later.  I did ask if I had to keep fasting for that other blood test and they told me no.  Yay!  I went home, ate the yummy bagel Vikki got me and  then we went to Kimmy’s.  We talked to Kimmy on the phone on the way.  We got there and visited, drank our coffee and relaxed.  Jared told her I would be cold there, so he went out and got some pellets and started a fire in the pellet burner.  That was really sweet of him.  I was up at 5 praying for him because he has audits this week and it is a stressful week.  I am praying for it to go well, for favor and great peace from God.  It sure was nice and cozy in the house when we got there.  I really appreciate him and Kimmy being so thoughtful.  Kimmy agreed I would be cold.  

Kimmy had stuff for subs on the cupboard so we made our subs.  They were delicious.  Vikki had done lots of snacking on apples and granola bars, so she said she wasn’t real hungry.  She enjoyed her sub though.  Eli really wanted Kimmy to get Melissa Gager’s kitten she was giving away.  Vikki messaged her to find out if it was still available.  She didn’t hear from her, so after waiting a long time, she messaged again and it was already taken.  Eli was disappointed.   He liked it because it looked a lot like Basil only a different color and was so cute.  He bought Basil in and gave her lots of attention, then gave her to Vikki to hold.  After her, I got a turn.  She’s such a sweet kitten.  We all love her.  

Kimmy let me buy a spoon rest for Maddy’s mom for less than I wanted to pay for it.  It’s beautiful and I know she is going to love it.  She loves the one I gave Maddy and always comments on it.  Vikki and I left at 2:30.  She left right away when we got to my house so she could pick up the kids from school.  Bill was mowing the grass.  I washed the family room windows.  No more bird form on the window.  They look so good!

I peeled potatoes and made mashed potatoes to go with the round steak and gravy I made in the crock pot this morning.  We also had yummy corn that Bruce canned and gave to us.

After we ate, I read my Bible and then went to Prayer at church.  There were a lot there and prayer time was awesome.  

Knitted on dish cloths.  Then will check out election results.
