4/8/18...Went to church, Worked on packing camper, went to funeral home, went to Culver's, Watched Funnies Home Videos and When Calls the Heart

Went to church.  A friend, Rebecca, who doesn't drive came and told me she lost her wallet.  Didn't know if it was at Ollies, on the path from her apartment there or in her apartment.  I left church and took her to look for it.  She didn't find it, so she decided to stay home and go through things in her apartment to see if she could find it.  I was praying.  I went back to church and got there a half hour after church started.  She messaged me during church that she found it.  I was so happy for her.  Worship was so good and Pastor gave such a great message.  After church, we ran Rebecca's mug she left in my car to her.  Stopped at Krogers and got some Spatz Wheat Bread.  Came home and ate.  Bill took a nap, so I went out and started putting shelf liner on the shelves in the camper and put under the sink mats down in the kitchen and bathroom.  Put dishes in the cupboard.  There is so much room  to pack things.  So much fun working out there today.  I took all the plastic wrap and packaging off the shelves in the refrigerator too.  Played my music through the bluetooth built in speaker.  So  nice.  We went to the funeral home at 5.  Our friends who belong to Faith Riders, Andrea and her mom, lost their brother/son who was just 56 to cancer.  So sad.  He knew Jesus so that was the good news.
Watched America's Funniest Videos and When Calls the Heart.

4/7/18...Went to Dennis's Retirement Party at G's

We had fun at Dennis's Retirement Party

Dennis

Got up and worshipped and read the Bible.  Love being able to say "Hey Google" and have it turn on worship on the television.  Made oatmeal for Bill and I and also coffee.  Cleaned the house.  So happy to have energy to clean again.  Cleaned the fireplace insert too and Bill picked up more wood pellets.  Glad he's healthy to do that now too.  Went to Menard's and then went to G's for Dennis's retirement party at 4:30.  We ate pizza pockets that were delicious and had a great time. We left around 7 and walked through Lowes.  Had fun looking at things we need to get when we remodel our bathroom.  We watched a movie when we got home. 

4/6/18...Snowed out last night...got a couple of inches. Went to Kimmy's to spend the day with her and the boys

The sheep were so friendly and cute today.  Most of them came right up to me so I could pet them

My buddy Adam

Steve the cat sure loves all the sheep

Adam and I had so much fun watching Steve

Peyton by the container Vikki found for the camper today for $2.  She got two of them.  Great find

Brrrrr....Eli rolling in the snow  He takes after his big brother, Adam 

Jacob and me 

Everybody was beating me at cards again today. They must practice all the time

I got up and was going to walk at SportZone and then go to Kimmy's.  It was such bad weather that I just ended up driving to Kimmy's.  The roads were slick and I passed a couple of cars in the ditch with police helping them.  It got much better when I got to US 10.  I was sure happy to see Kimmy and the boys.  It was fun visiting and getting to see the sheep.  Fun playing card games with Kimmy and the boys too, even though I was the big loser.  Bill went to the Sportszone and out to breakfast with Charlie at Linwood Corners while I was at Kimmy's.  It was miserable driving home from Kimmy's because it was snowing and blowing.  I had to stay right behind another car so I could tell where I was going.  It was worth it to have such a fun day with Kimmy and the boys.  I sure love my family!

4/5/18...I went to the Dentist, Stopped at Melissa's, Came home, Went back to Melissa's, Went to Bed, Bath and Beyond and to Walmart

Did some laundry in the morning. I went to the dentist at 9.  Had a new dental hygienist.  She did a great job and was really gentle.  The dentist said everything looked great.  Thankful for a good report.
I went to Melissa's and took her a Ice Capp and picked up a paper Jack needs Papa to fill out for when he interviews him for a book their class is writing.  It was nice seeing all the kiddos and so happy they are feeling better.  Bruce was doing good too.  Now to get Melissa better.  I took the paper to Bill and he filled it out.  I dropped it back off at Melissa's.  Jack called and interviewed Papa.  He hasn't been able to because they were both sick.  Bruce did call this morning and got Melissa an appt. with my doctor.  She is a physician's assistant, but is good and she is in with 3 great doctors who all have 5 star reviews.  If she needs them, they consult on her patients.  I am happy Melissa doesn't have to go to her old dr. that was my old dr. because she isn't any good.
They couldn't see Melissa until April 30.  Can't take her as a patient until then.  Bruce called and set up an appointment with her old doctor at 1:40.  Told them she was so sick she wouldn't be able to wait long and needed to get right in. They told him she would be the third patient and would get right in.  Well, they went and waited over an hour and Melissa could sit any longer.  The doctor didn't show up and the waiting room was packed.  Bruce made an appt. at Med Express and took her there.  She had a great doctor there who did an X-Ray.  Melissa doesn't have pneumonia, but does have bronchitis.  She listened to Bruce and Melissa and gave her the antibiotic she needed.  Melissa was so happy and so am I. Now she can finally get better quickly.  I am thanking God.  I went to Bed Bath and Beyond and Walmart and got some stuff we need for the camper.

4/4/18... Bill still isn't feeling well. I am praying for Melissa because she sounds terrible with an awful cough. I'm on call to go be with the kids if she needs to go to the ER tonight.

Still don't have all my energy back, but getting more every day.  Typed the newsletter for our Faith Riders and also updated our Christian Motorcycle Association Website page.  Put new pictures on it too.  Peyton and Isaac are playing now and doing better.  Vikki sounded terrible this morning when I talked to her.  Praying for her too.  Bill stayed on the loveseat most of the day.  He went back to bed for a while though.  He did eat oatmeal for breakfast and soup for lunch though.  We watched the movie, "The Ultimate Gift".  It was a great movie.  We ran out of wood pellets, but I am waiting until Bill can go get some.  Melissa called and sounded so bad.  She promised she would go in to ER if she got worse.  I told her I would come stay with the kids if she did.  I was awake lots thinking of her and praying for her and praying for the rest of my family who aren't feeling well.

4/3/18...Jacob and Adam have fevers now. Jared's mom and dad left for home so they won't catch it. Bill slept most of the day

Dishes I found for the camper

We didn't go to breakfast.  Have lots of people praying.  I got up at 8 and got ready.  Bill slept in.  He got up around 9 and told me thanks for taking the garbage out for him and said he was gong back to bed.  I took him his tamaflu in at 11 and he took it.  Slept most of the day.  In the evening, he came out to the living room and I made him some noodle soup.  He isn't coughing much anymore.  Doesn't
 seem t have a fever today, but didn't want me to take it today.  I went shopping and found some plastic BPA free, dishwasher and microwave safe dishes for the camper.  Also got some command hooks for the camper.  Watched Miracle from Heaven with Bill.  Tear jerker and very good true story.

4/2/18...Vikki, Peyton, Isaac, Hailey, Eli were all diagnosed with the flu. Praying Jared's Parents who are visiting don't get it. At 10 pm, Bill was diagnosed with the flu at Urgent care at the VA hospital.

Bill went to breakfast with Dave Vieney.  I ate oatmeal and then started putting some stuff in the camper.  It was nice outside.  I made chicken noodle soup.  Delivered some to Melissa and family and Vikki and family.  Picked up an ear thermometer.  Hailey, Vikki, Peyton, Isaac, and Eli were all diagnosed with the flu today.  This stuff is crazy the way it is spreading.  Bill came home and was coughing.  We went to the Navel Office and Bill got his green card for veterans.  I couldn't get the wife one until I take my birth certificate down there.  The people at the VA hospital told Bill he just need our marriage license.  We got home and Bill was totally under the blanket head and all.  In the car he blasted the heat. I took his temp and it was almost 102.  He didn't want to go to urgent care though. I went back out to the camper and then came back in the house.  He called my phone and said he would go in.  I called to try to pre register him for Med Express but they weren't taking registrations.  Called the one on Pierce Rd. and they told me to take him to the VA Urgent care.  We went at around 8 and were there until 10.  I ran home and put the slide outs in on the camper because I saw on the weather it was supposed to start snowing a 9 pm.  Went back and bill was diagnosed with the flu.  The dr. was really nice and joked around a lot.  He gave Bill tamale and sent me with lots of face masks.  Told me not to tell the nurse and laughed.  Bill took a dose of tamale and went to bed.  I went to bed too.
