Thursday, 1/8/26, Bill picked up Max, It’s Max’s prayer month, I went to therapy, went to Kroger afterward, Melissa and Hailey were there and saw me, we went to Tim Horton’s afterwards, filled all the bird feeders, put Induction burner in camper, made goulash, watched a movie called God’s Here

Hailey saw my text and sent me this cute picture since I forgot to take one today!

I made goulash tonight to have when the girls come over tomorrow.  I remembered to take out some plain for my Kimmy!  Can’t wait until tomorrow to spend the day with them.

I slept in bed until 2:30 a.m.  Then moved out to the recliner.  I decided to take a Melatonin so I could sleep good the rest of the night.  First time I thought of that since way before my surgery.  It worked great.  Now I am pretty caught up with my sleep.  I slept until 8:30 this morning.  I put a worship song Vikki sent me from last night’s worship service.  It was so good.  I played it twice.  Bill got up and came in to read his Bible.  I made me oatmeal and a coffee.  I put raisins and banana’s on my oatmeal.  I also made cinnamon raisin toast.  After I finished eating, I started reading my Bible.  I read until it was time to go to therapy.  Bill left first  to get Max at 11.  I left to get to therapy by 11:20.  Bill and Max walked in the door just as I was getting ready to go out the door.  Max said hi when he saw me and I hugged him like I always do.  I got to therapy and had Allyson for my therapist for the first time.  She was very nice.  It was a good workout.  I went to look for a birthday gift for Joan, our Pastor’s wife and a great friend.  I didn’t find anything, so just decided to give her money, so went to the bank and got some out.  I went to Meijer to get stuff for goulash, then tried to find an Amazon gift card, but they didn’t have any.  I decided I would go to Kroger and get one.  I was in the self checkout paying for it when Melissa and Hailey surprised me and came up and said hi.  It’s a good thing they came.  I needed help figuring out how to put the amount on this card.  I actually called for assistance, but then we saw where we could just peel the cardboard and the code I needed showed.  The lady came to help, but I told her we figured it out already.  I told them it was too bad I didn’t get there when they were done shopping.  They told me they were just getting stuff for Hailey to make salsa, and then were going to Tim Horton’s.  I shopped with them and we all went to Tim Horton’s.  Hailey wanted to ride with me there.  Melissa got parked in by an ambulance that was helping a lady that passed out behind her car.  We didn’t even see it, so didn’t find out until Melissa got to Tim Horton’s.  They got donuts and I got a bagel with cream cheese.  We all got Iced coffees and then sat by the fireplace in the comfy chairs and visited for a long time.  Sue called me and let me know Gary Hakes passed away.  He was a good friend of ours that came to our breakfast when we had it.  I was sad to hear about it.  Another friend of ours that was an area rep in CMA, Bubba, was on a ladder in his shed and fell and died a couple of days ago.  We were very sad to hear about him too.  I had wrote in my blog about him and his wife, and their CMA friends from Australia that rode the shuttle with me at the Colors Rally last October.  They were so nice and we all had so much fun riding around picking people up.  The driver’s wife, passed out scriptures and we all shared our scripture and what it meant to us.  It was just such a fun ride, talking with them and talking about Jesus.  

I’m so glad I have that memory with Bubba and Sue.

Bill and I ate late, around 7, by the time I got the goulash made.  Then we watched a movie.  It was sad in parts, but had a great ending.  It was a great message on forgiveness.

I worked on my blog afterwards and didn’t even get sleepy working on it. Yay!
