               So thankful they played such great Christmas songs.  They did an amazing job.

Got ready in the morning and went to visit friends Rich and Pat.  Bill told me Rich had a heart attack in September.  For some reason, I hadn’t heard about that.  We picked up coffees/a tea/ and a Cappuccino and some donuts and took them to their house.  We sat and visited, drank our drinks and ate our donuts and really enjoyed each other’s company.  It was so good catching up and seeing Rich look so good and doing so good.  He had gotten diagnosed five years ago with Colon Cancer, Rectal Cancer and Lung Cancer.  The VA here said there was no hope.  Someone told him to go to U of M because they knew some people there in that dept.  He got a doctor that was a Christian and also nurses.  They encouraged him, prayed over him, told him not to claim the cancer, and were so kind to him.  In March, he got the 5 year all clear of cancer report.  Praise God for so many miracles.  Then in Sept. he was outside fiddling around with stuff, got hot so came in the house and took his shirt off, then walked to the living room, said a few words and had a heart attack.  Thank God he was in the house.  His wife started CPR, had her phone on her so called 911 and kept doing CPR until the ambulance came which wasn’t long. He had a widow maker heart attack where only 3 percent survive.  He died for 4 minutes and then came back.  His paramedics came up twice to see him in the hospital because he made it even though he shouldn’t have survived.  We are all so happy.  He has a great testimony and is doing great and sharing it lots.  He will start heart therapy soon to get him stronger.  I was just so thankful to see him doing so amazing and so happy for him and his wife.  Praise God!

We stayed over an hour, then I said I needed to leave so I could get back home and put my legs up for a while.  We did stop at Jack’s and Bill picked up some sirloin burgers, a steak, some bananas and some Thistle seed.  He pulled in the car wash, but the line was so long, I asked him if he could just take me home first since I had Isaac’s concert to go to tonight and my legs would be down for a long time too.  He did so I could rest my legs.  I took a short nap, then decided to knit on a dishcloth.  I went upstairs and sorted some Christmas presents and then got Hailey’s birthday gifts, a bag and gift tissue paper and wrapped her gift and brought it downstairs.  We are celebrating at our house tomorrow night.  Bill went back into town and got the Jeep washed.  

In the evening, we went to Isaac’s Band Concert.  He did great!  The whole band sounded amazing.  They played some wonderful Christmas songs and then the high school band director, has been working with the band, so he did a few songs with them.  They were amazing.  The orchestra played and the choir sang also and did a great job.  Both band and orchestra played the last song together.  So enjoyable to listen to.  We took a picture with Isaac after the concert and then we left.  Bill helped me walk back to the Jeep.  We came home and I worked on part of my blog, but didn’t finish it til Wed.
