Slept much better last night.  Only woke up twice before 5 a.m.  Made my coffee and then went in and played worship music.  Read my Bible afterward.  Bill got up and got ready and then came in and read his Bible 

I started making meatballs and other things for the party tonight.  Got strawberries at Meijer for 99 cents so made chocolate covered strawberries.  

The glue is coming off of my incision so it’s looking much better.  Bill went to Walgreens and brought me some dial liquid so I can keep it clean.  

We went to Vikki’s for the party at 6.  We ate when we got there.  Vikki made Bruce’s bean dip and yummy sausages.  She also made a delicious plate of crackers and different cheeses.  I brought the leftover hickory stick I froze from Christmas Eve morning.  Melissa and family came right after we started eating.  Peyton had Regen and Ava over.  Isaac had Jorden over.  

After we ate we played bingo.  We had so much fun.  I had a bad card so Bill traded me cards.  I won two rounds later.  Then I won the last number rolled in the cover all and so did Regen.  Vikki had great candy for prizes. We all sure had fun.  We played a game with Peyton and her friends after that.  It was lots of fun even though I wasn’t so good at it.  The girls sure were fast at it. 

We got ready to watch the ball drop after that.  They were a minute late, but we did the countdown with them and then drank our sparkling juice and toasted and wished everyone a Happy New Year.  We FaceTimed Kimmy and family and told them Happy New Year.  

Bill had the jeep warming up by that time and he hauled everything out to the Jeep, then came back to walk me to the Jeep.  It was such a fun night with such good food and wonderful people to hang out with.  I came home and finished my blog.  Then eat 1:50 I went to bed.
