Beautiful picture of Peyton Vikki sent me. Vikki braided her hair again. I sure love her hair and her hat....and her!!!
I made an egg sandwich for breakfast today. Bill didn’t want one. I got ready which is much easier to do now. Then I did lots of walking in the morning. I’m practicing longer stride with proper walking technique. It’s going very well.
I walked upstairs, turned the heat on in both rooms, then found the gifts for Melissa, Kimmy and Vikki that go in their little gift bag from me. I always knit them a dishcloth (this year I found a new color), then add little things in the bag I think they will like. I got them done and put away so when they come help me wrap, they don’t see what in them. I got some Thanksgiving stuff put away up there, and organized Christmas gifts that have come from Amazon. I put some laundry away up there too. Then I came down by myself. In a day or so, I will try just walking up instead of one step at a time.
I sat in my recliner and rested for a while. I’’m still supposed to have lots of rest time with leg up. It does feel good to rest for a while. Bill took his sister Carol to her lung doctor appt. It went well. I texted Debbie who had her post op appt. for her knee surgery and it went well. Bill was going to pick up some BelVita Snack Crackers for us at Sam’s Club and some Jello with fruit in it. Diane Boehm called me to see how I was doing. We talked for a long time. She is a sweet friend who broke both of her knees two years ago from a fall. She had had knee replacements in both knees prior to that. She has healed well, but her car got totaled, and then because she didn’t have a vehicle to take her driving text, her license got suspended. She’s in her 80’s and has had many set backs, but her faith is strong and she says often how blessed she is. I say amen to that! God is good always! We may go through things, but he gets us through.
I made potatoe soup for two for lunch. Bill didn’t get back in time to have any. It was pretty good. Vikki stopped over after she was out of work and brought me a beautiful red poinsettia. So sweet of her to do. She spent time with me while she waited for the kids to get out of school. We talked to Kimmy and Eli on the phone when Kimmy picked him up from school. That was fun!
Melissa called to see if Bill and I wanted to go to Jack’s Fencing Christmas party. I would have loved to, but that’s a long time to not sit comfy and put my feet up. Bill was really excited to go. I took pictures before they left and Melissa sent me pictures while they were there. Jack got his Fencing Jacket he has had ordered for a while. Before he left here, he told me he was hoping it would be there tonight.
I put on worship Christmas music. So awesome to remember the awesome things God did. What a blessing to focus on Jesus and how he came, Emanuel with us.
