Tuesday, 11/18/25, Did laundry, made dough, met Vikki to get Christmas Turkey, went to Souper Cafe, went to Thrift Store, went to pet store, baked rolls, went to Sues, went to prayer, snowed lots

My breakfast this morning....apple pie, a tiny slice of cherry pie and ice cream...a delicious cup of coffee in one of my favorite Kimmy mugs!

Vikki and I eating at Souper Cafe.  She had soup and a half sandwich and I had a mandarin orange salad.  We had fun together!

 I didn’t sleep good most of the night, so finally came out and tried sleeping in the Lazy Boy in the living room.  I am testing out recliners for after surgery.  I am texting the one out in the family room when I get up tonight as it is closest to the bathroom and it is a clear easy path to get there.  I just thought of that today and want it to be as easy as possible.  

I made dough for some rolls I’m making for Sue.  Bill brought all of my hanging winter clothes downstairs for me and I put them in the closet.  It’s been cold enough to wear warm winter clothes here!!!  I did my exercises today.  I sure was sore afterwards.  I did them on the bed too.  You wouldn’t think that would be such a workout, but it sure hurts my hip when I do them.  I’ve been going over my book from my class and doing all the things on lists and  have got all of the questioneers filled out.  Lots of appointments from this point up until my surgery now.  

Vikki called me when she was out of work and we met at Kroger’s.  Rody got a coupon for a free turkey from work and right away he said to Vikki, this is mom’s isn’t it.  Between the two of them, one of them always seems to get a free turkey and they always give it to me for a holiday gathering turkey.  I am so blessed.  She found a really nice 22 lb. Butterball turkey and got it plus she had enough left over on the coupon to get some Mentos.  Thanks Rody and Vikki.  I had to return Dove lotion and get Dove Antibiotic Bath Wash.  I accidentally grabbed the wrong thing the other day.  They were all mixed on the shelf.  We went to Souper Cafe afterwards for lunch.  We had fun hanging out together.  I was going to the pet store for 14 day fish food and she was going to the thrift store next door.  I decided to walk through the thrift store with her.  She was surprised to see me.  We looked at everything.  She helped me find a small soft pillow to use when I do my exercises.  I found a cute yellow Jeep for Rody, Isaac or Rehvyn, whichever one wants it.  Vikki took it home and cleaned it up.  Rody already had one so it ended up going go Rehvyn who loved seeing it on FaceTime.  Bill got the turkey out of my car and took it to the freezer in the basement.

I came home and made the dough into balls and put them in a warm place to rise. I took the game box back out to the motorhome, and I brought a tub of non perishable food and also paper products in from the camper.  That’s the last to be brought in.  

I made scrambled eggs with potatoes for dinner.  I baked the rolls after that, then packed them up and took them to Sue on my way to prayer.  It was snowing so hard out it was hard to see.  She was really happy to get the rolls.  She always puts some in the freezer and takes one out everyday.  It was snowy all the way to the church.  There was a big group there   We prayed for lots of things.  At the end, everybody prayed for my surgery since we won’t be together again before it.  Then I heard Debbie say she wouldn’t be here the next time, so I asked her what day of the week her knee surgery was on.  I knew it was the 1st of Dec.  I had everyone come back over and we all prayed for her surgery.  She and her husband lead our prayer group.  So thankful we can pray for each other when we need prayer.  

I talked to Kim after prayer.  Ben, the kite guy, had told me she was his Church mom.  She was so happy to hear how he was doing.  Her husband had a kidney transplant, so she hasn’t seen Ben in a while.  She told me his father was a pastor and that Kim’s husband had been Ben’s youth leader.  She said he always wanted to do what he learned.  He seemed like that kind of guy from talking to him.  It was done snowing when I left the church.  I got home and started working on my blog.  I will go knit some now, then will go to bed.
