Beautiful sunrise this morning

I prayed I would sleep longer last night and I slept til 5 am before waking up.  Yay!  It felt so good.Bill left at 8:30 for his VA appt.  I showered, got ready and then washed up all the medical equipment good and put it by the stairs for Bill to take up.  I put worship music on, then afterwards Bill got home and we read our Bibles.  They got his appointment wrong today and it is actually tomorrow.  He picked up the money from the bank, so I put it into the different boxes for all of the grandkids.  Then I put money in envelopes for those kids that didn’t something that amounted to $50.  All is equal whether someone just wanted money or wanted something.  

Kimmy’s present was delivered, so I wrapped it.  Melissa’s is still coming but they haven’t said when.  

It show’s there’s been progress though.  Max had his wisdom teeth out today.  He was a little loopy when he got home,  but as long as he keeps up with the Motrin, he is doing ok.  Poor boy!

Bill and I went to get groceries at Meijer, but when we got there the parking lot was full right out to the end.  We decided that was too many people for us, so we went back home and will go after our dinner tonight and go to the less busy Meijer.

We stopped at Melissa’s on our way to dinner and dropped off a basket she wanted.  Then we went to Sullivan’s and had dinner with Pastor, Joan and the elders and their wives.  We walked in with Pastor and Joan and Chris and Tina.  They were all so happy that I was walking so well and doing so good.  Jeff was already there, but Debbie didn’t come because it is too hard to sit with her knee bent for long after knee surgery.  Brenda and Justin were already there too.  We visited, pastor talked to us about things happening at church for a while, then we ate.  Pastor, Bill, me and Brenda got the chicken strips the waitress recommended.  They were the biggest and the best we’ve ever had.  I could only eat one and Bill only ate two of his.  We each got 3.  We had the salad bar also.  They will be good for lunch tomorrow.  Debbie only wanted Jeff to bring her a roll home because she’s going to eat it tomorrow the the chili I sent them.  We had a great time visiting.  When it was time to leave, Jeff asked me to show him how I walked again.  He didn’t see me walk in only when I got to the table.  He was so happy I was doing so good.  It’s nice to have so many people so caring and happy and encouraging.  

Bill and I went to Meijer afterwards.  It wasn’t busy so we were happy.  Brenda and Justin had the same idea.  We saw them there.  We got everything on our list, except Carol wanted Bill to bring Spatz bread tomorrow when he goes to her house and meets Fred there for lunch.  I can’t go because I have to start preparing food for Christmas Eve.  The kid checking me out said it had been super busy when he got there and every register was opened.  He was glad it had slowed down some.

Bill hauled all the groceries in when we got home.  Then I put them away.  I cut up apples for each of us and we had them for a snack.  We went t bed at 11:30 which is early for us.
