Tuesday, 1/27/26, Very cold windy day again, -12 Feels like temp. Bill took trash out, I vacuumed the floors, watered my plants, gave Kit Kat some attention, went to Tim Horton’s with Melissa, went to Meijer, did my exercises, walked on walking pad

Today, I read Malachi.  The whole book is so good at least to those who love God and read His Word and with the help of the Holy Spirit follow Him and try to obey His word.  He is so merciful, He tells us to repent when we sin and He will forgive us and be there for us.  “If you return to Me, I will return to you” the Lord says.  It says this on the other side of the page. 

Wonderful scripture in my prayer book when I was praying for my grandkiddo’s.

Vader and Riley when I was at Melissa’s.  These dogs are so sweet.  I got to give them a couple of treats while I was there

Melissa played two Christmas songs while I was there.  I wanted her to play them during the Christmas season for me, but I was recovering from my hip surgery.  She did a great job and they both sounded beautiful

We slept in until 9.  It’s so wonderful to be sleeping good in bed again.  So thankful.  Bill took the trash out.  I gathered the upstairs trash for him.  I felt bad it was so cold out and he had to be out in it.  I vacuumed the floors.  I also watered my plants.  I saw Kit Kat outside the back door, so I gave her some treats.  I feel bad for her too, but she is staying in her igloo house lots.  I put heavy blankets over it, and she has warm blanket inside and her favorite soft blanket on top.  

Melissa called me and wanted to know if I wanted to meet her at Tim Horton’s and she would treat me.  Of course I said yes.  We met and she got me a French Vanilla Cappuccino with whip and a honey glazed donut.  She got a Mocha with whip and a Vanilla Dip donut.  We sat there and visited.  She called her dad to see if he wanted her to get him a donut.  He had eaten quite a few chocolate covered strawberries, so he told her no.  I was glad he made that choice because rarely does he turn down a donut.  It was sweet of Melissa to think of him.  We went back to her house and tried her Electric Blanket that’s her Christmas present.  Finally got the right one.  It worked great and she loves how soft it is just as much as Kimmy and I love ours.  We visited, then she played her two Christmas songs on the piano for me.  I videoed a little tiny part of one song.  She’s such a miracle and I am so thankful she is here to play the piano for me.  She always loved playing it.  

I went to Meijer after that and got some groceries to make a meal for Maddy and family on Thursday.  Someone from her church was bringing dinner to them tonight.  I am glad they are helping them out.  Kimmy called me while I was still shopping.  Vikki wasn’t answering her calls and she was a little nervous, because she was fasting and had a bad headache.  I was going to drive over and check on her, but she answered when I called.  She had been sleeping and her alarm went off to get the kids, so she woke up.  We were glad she was ok.  We love our Vikki!

Baby got off some medications today.  He is headed in the right direction the doctor said, but still has lots of things to be healed.  Continuing to pray for this little sweetheart.  

Made burgers, mashed potatoes, and peas for dinner.
