11/4/16..Kimmy came over...She sure was a huge help to us


Moved the king size bed upstairs.  Looking for a metal headboard now and also waiting for Kenzie to take her deer head and other stuff.  Then we are painting and putting a hardwood floor down.

Bill had a little accident with his shed.  It fell over when he tried to move it dollies.  Kimmy and I were at Kroger's getting a Home Depot card for him to go the the PVC pipes to move it, but he thought he could get it to the edge of the black top his way.  Oops.  Guess not.  I came home and he was out there so I walked out and he asked if I got the pictures he sent me.  I said no.  Then I looked and saw it in person.  Wes was there helping him get it upright.  What a wonderful friend.  So glad it didn't fall on Bill.  Thanking the Lord

This is how we moved it.  Bill pulled and Kimmy and I pushed.  It worked great 
It is in place to go back into it's spot by the garden as soon as Bill has the foundation ready

It was such a beautiful day.  Kimmy came to spend the day with me.  Melissa had to pick the kids up at 11:15 so she didn't come.  Vikki had to help her Aunt Debbie so she couldn't come.  Kimmy helped us get a futon down to the basement, move a kingsize mattress upstairs and move the shed to the spot we want it.  She worked so hard.  So did Bill.  Kimmy and I went to Salvation Army to drop stuff off I had to get rid of.  We walked around for a while.  Kimmy found a garden planter which was really nice.  We came home and walked out back and saw the fallen shed, Wes and Bill.
We felt so bad for Bill.  Came in to eat lunch.  We had chicken salad sandwiches.

11/2/16...Today I am thankful for my family. Got my new I Phone 7 Plus!Bill found a great deal and it included a $100 gift card to Best Buywhich I used to get my case, my screen protector and still have $ lefton it.




Bill's shed is looking so cute.  Almost finished now.

Bill relaxing

Went to Sports Zone and walked three miles.  Came home and defrosted the other freezer in the basement.  Nice to have both of them done now.  Now to cut up apples and make applesauce for the freezer.  Just got apples from Charlie and Sue.  They picked them up for me when they got theirs.  Bill and I went to get our free Tacos at Taco Bell.  Afterwards we went to Best Buy to get my update.  They gave us a good deal so I got the iPhone 7 plus.  Bill really wanted me to get it.  It was cute because Bill asked me to stay with the girl to do the phone business while he went to look for a case for me.  He did pick out some nice ones, but I thought it was cute that he wanted to pick it out.
Good thing he has good taste.  I am blessed.  Texted Matthew to wish him Happy Birthday.  He invited us to go out to eat with him, Amanda, Rody and Vikki, but we already had plans.   At 5:30 we met Charlie, Sue, Vicky, Jeff, Dorthy, Gary, Kitty and Kenny at the Falcon club for their hamburger night.  They were the best!  Came home and figured some things out on my phone.

11/3/16...Walked at Center Courts with Melissa. Had officer's meeting at our house in the evening

My only picture of the day...Cute little Mocha

Melissa called me and we went and walked at Center Courts.  Walked 2 miles and had a nice visit while we walked.  It went by fast with her to take to.  Cleaned the house and baked chocolate chip cookies and banana bread when I got home.  We had nine of here for the officer's meeting for Faith Riders.  It was a good meeting and Bill did great leading it.  We played 3-13 with Wes and Gayla afterwards.

11/1/16....74 degrees today....way to start November! Got to go out with Jacob and Adam after school!


Kimmy and Jared's beautiful pottery they made.  Soooo talented!!!
My poor Eli was sick so he couldn't come on our fun day at McDonalds

Adam and Jacob with their chicken nuggets...I didn't realize they had them the same when I took the picture 


Adam having fun!

Oreo McFlurries for dessert.  Jacob wanted M&M, but they don't make them anymore there.


Branches the wires pulled down when the came off the house

Sure a lot of wires for them to come take care of


Went to breakfast, then to VA with Bill for a PTSD class.  After that I headed to Kimmy's.

She had all of her and Jared's beautiful pottery on the cupboard when I got there.  They are so talented.  We visited and also searched for my cousin on Facebook for a while. Looked at a video of my pressure cooker Bill is getting me for Christmas too.  Had yummy salad Kimmy made for lunch and delicious cider.  Went for a walk to the barn and then we were going to walk in the woods but it started raining.  It quit right away, so we decided to continue.  Went to pick up Jacob, then Adam and then Eli so we could go to McDonalds and have fun.  Poor Eli came out of school not feeling well and with a fever.  When we went to Kimmy's house for the boys to put cooler clothes on, Eli threw up.  Felt so bad for him.  I will have to take him next week now.  Kimmy stayed home with Eli, and Adam and Jacob went with me.  They ate really good and had fun.  They are such nice boys.  We left so they could still have time to play outside when they got home because it was so warm and beautiful out.  Went in to see Eli and he was feeling better since he had medicine.  When I got home Bill told me to go look on the side of the house to see what happened.  Well, all this wiring was laying on the ground and branches were down. He said a farmer went by and his equipment pulled down the cable over the road.  He didn't realize that he snagged it until he got to the next house.  He came back and gave Bill his name and number in case it costs anything.   Bill told me it was the Charter cable and we didn't need it.  Well when we went to get on line...we sure did need it.  Nothing worked.  I called Charter right away even though it was about 6:45.  They had someone here by 8 and they worked till 10:30.  Four trucks with flashers came and they blocked our road off while they put the cable back up.  They were very nice.  We were so thankful for the fast service.  Thankful the farmer was so nice and honest too.  Kenzie called and was in a car accident today.  She hit a car and was going 40 mph.  Said her brakes didn't work.  Her air bag went off and she was unconscious. They took her by ambulance to the Midland Hospital and did a CAT scan she said.  Everything was ok praise God.  What a scare.  Praying for her.  Her car is totaled.

Isaac is our boy today and tonight

Made chicken stir fry tonight.  Isaac said he loved the smell and it was his favorite food.  When it came time to eat though, he asked me if he could have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  Of course, since I'm Nana I said yes


Isaac on the trampoline.  Papa and him kept looking up because geese were flying over making lots of noise.  

Love this picture Kimmy put on of the boys so I borrowed it

Isaac wanted to sleep on the living room floor

Went to meet everyone to clean at 9:45.  Two people called and couldn't make it so we were very happy when Vicky Eagle who hadn't signed up to help showed up.  We car pooled to the trailer and Ann was there to show us what we needed to do.  She is in her 80's and runs His Restoration which helps moms with babies have a place to stay.  They help them find jobs, get them to church and minister to the mom and baby with lots of love.  We all started cleaning everything really good.  It took us 2 hours.  There is a mom and baby who will be moving in shortly.  After we finished, most of us went to Coney Dawg for hot dogs.  They were yummy.  Came home and changed and put cleaning supplies away and then went to Kroger's to get ingredients for the stir fry Dennis made last night.  Went and picked Isaac up afterwards.  While I cooked dinner, Papa took Isaac out to jump on the trampoline and swing.  Isaac came in and played with the cars after that.  Then he wanted to watch Curious George.  I got a call from Kenzie and her car wouldn't start so she needed me to come get her and take her to Midland to drop the key off at her work and then take her back to Bay City.  I didn't really want to because of Isaac being there, but she couldn't find anyone else so I did.  Papa and Isaac had fun together.  I was happy to get back home.  I went to get his pjs out and realized there weren't any.  I called Vikki and she hadn't heard me say he was going to spend the night.  We improvised because he really wanted to spend the night and we really wanted him to.  He was such a very good boy.  Sure love having him.
