10/7/18, Went to Church, Diane and James took us out to eat, Relaxing day at home, Updated CMA Website

We went to church.  Worship was amazing.  We met James and his mom after church.  They treated us at Sullivans.  James is around Vikki and Kimmy's age and had a stroke a year ago.  Vikki knew him 20 years ago when he was in the Marines.  Bill has been mentoring him after Pastor asked him to spend time with him.  So sad how fast a life can change.  He has a great attitude though.  His mom is a huge help to him and a very sweet lady.  Praying for a miracle for him.  We came home and relaxed.    Finished my yummy sandwich from yesterday and made a turkey sandwich with the turkey I got at the Mennonite store yesterday.  We had blueberry pie too!   Watched a movie, updated our Christian Motorcycle Association Website, and watched a marriage dvd that we picked up at our CMA rally.  We got several so we can pass them to other people.  It was very good.

Hailey and their team with their trophy.  They won second in the Gold.  Way to go!

Sue came over and we went and picked Max up and headed to Cass City.  We dropped Max off at his appointment.  Sue and I walked through the Hometown Pharmacy and then went to lunch at Nick's Country Oven.  I treated her for her birthday that I missed because I had so much going on.  We both had the Turkey Slim Jim Sandwich.  It is so delicious.  We went to the Mennonite Store after that.  We got some meat, desserts, etc.  I brought a cooler to keep stuff cold, so we loaded it up.  We got home and dropped Max off.  Went in because Sue wanted to meet Bruce's dad.  Happy to see the other kiddos too.  Dropped Sue of and got home and made eggs and toast for Bill and warmed up my Olive Garden Meatball Pizza leftover.  Bill and I were happy to see Justice Kavanaugh confirmed  What those evil people did to him and his family was horrible.  Guess the FBI proved they were lying.   Justice and truth for Mr. Kavanaugh.  Thank You Lord!  I loved the President's speech in Kansas and all he has done for our nation already.  AMAZING!

Walked with Bill at SportsZone for three miles.  Picked Melissa up and went to Olive Garden for Lunch.  She had a salad and a small spaghetti bowl and I had a meatball pizza bowl and Soupa Tuscana. We had yummy breadsticks too.  We went to Gordon foods after that so I could return some wrong sized cups I picked up  and then we went to Rite Aid.  Got to therapy just in time.  She went on the lokomat today.  Came home and defrosted the freezer in the basement.  Went back and picked Melissa up and dropped her off at home.  Came home and Bill and I napped on the recliner.  Washed out the freezer in the basement and put stuff back in it.  Picked up Pat and Rich and went to  the American Legion in Bay City and had fish dinners.  It was good, but we sure had to wait a long time to get our food.  Some people were there from the Marine Corp League.  We visited with them for a while, then sat back at our table.   We sat with a really nice couple from Bay City.  He had been in the army.  He reminded me of my dad.  They were originally from Bad Axe and Kinda and new lots of Pat's relatives.

10/4/18...Took Melissa to therapy, Kernel burner guy came, Went to Marie's, Had officer's meeting at our house

Yay, now we have heat.  Our kernel burner is cleaned and keeping us warm now.

Took Melissa to therapy at 8 a.m.  We saw Paul there (he had Guillian Barre')  He is walking so good now and has been released from Physical Therapy.  He just has to go for O.T.  Needs work on his shoulders yet.  So happy to see him doing so good.  He was very happy to see Melissa doing so good.  Last time he saw her she couldn't even use the walker.  I got home and the guy from the Kernel Burner was here waiting for me.  He wasn't supposed to get here until between 11 and 1.  I got here at 10:45.  He was nice and it didn't take him too long before it was all cleaned and ready to use.  I left for Marie's after he left.  I washed a valance and hung it to dry for her.  Washed the porch windows and and the woodwork around them.  Cleaned her three  bathrooms for her.  We got to pray with Jerry and I got to share Melissa's miracle the Lord did.  He was so touched and wants his fiancé to here it.  God is so good!  Marie told me she loved it when I was there and felt sad when I had to leave.  She gave me a big hug.  I sure will be happy when she can feel good and get around good again.  Roy got his grass cut.  Bill got our grass cut too.  Stopped and picked up Culvers for dinner.  Had the officer's meeting at our house.  Had 9 here.  Beemer's came which was nice.  Vicki brought yummy cookies and I had cider and donuts from Baynes here for snack.  It was a good meeting.  Wes and Gayla stayed to play cards afterwards.  Wes was the big winner.

10/3/18...Walked at SportZone, Charlie and Sue came over, Went to Kimmy's, Picked up the boys and took them to McDonalds

Adam, me, Jacob, and Eli

Bill and I walked 2 miles at SportsZone.  Charlie and Sue stopped in and brought us some Amish Banana Bread from Clare.  It was delicious.  We played Euchre.  I got a lone hand and made it the first hand.  That was fun.  Bill and I won a game, Charlie and Sue won a game and then the third game, Bill and I lost by only one point.  We made our company very happy though.  I went to Kimmy's and hung out until time to pick the boys up from school.  We went to McDonalds and Kimmy used two coupons and I used 4 coupons.  We saved lots of money.  We sure had a fun time. Adam and Eli had fun on the play land and all of us had fun with the light up table.  You could touch a light and it would change colors, or wave your arm over it and lots would change.  Jared came and had a Strawberry Shake.  He had fun with the boys playing with the table too. I was cold from drinking my Frappe so Jacob went out and got Kimmy's sweatshirt in the van for me.  Thoughtful boy for sure!  We went back to Kimmy's and looked at the fund raiser books Eli brought home.  I ordered three things.  Lots of nice stuff.  Wyatt was really happy to see me.  I had to wait until he calmed down before I could pet him, but it didn't take long and he was perfect.  I sure love that dog.  The boys all gave me hugs goodbye when I was leaving.  Jacob was so cute because he came and gave me two more hugs.  They sure are nice boys.  Melissa called me and Hailey and Max both have strep throat.  Poor kiddos.  I sure am praying for my sweeties.  Kimmy messaged me that she fixed my jacket zipper.  A big thank you to you Kimmy.  Is there anything you can't do. I love and appreciate you.

Didn’t go to breakfast because Melissa’s therapy was at 8:45. Bill went to breakfast and I went to take Melissa to therapy.  Went to Aldi’s and got some groceries.  Went to get absentee ballots.  Computers were down so had to take forms home.  Picked Melissa up.  They had her walk without her walker today, just using the hand rail.  So wonderful!  We went to Old Town Drive In for coney dogs, A &W root beer and fries and went to Melissa’s to eat it.  Came home and  went to Kawkawlin to pick up our camper.  Looks like everything is fixed good.  Another cold wet day.  Hibernating under my electric throw now.

Went to SportsZone and walked two miles.  Feels so good to be back at it!  Bill and I took the camper in to have them fix the rest of the things needing fixed.  The parts they ordered came in.  After that, we drove to Standish and went to Shopko and shopped.  Went to Fergie's Pizzeria for a late lunch.  It was as delicious as ever!  Best Pizza!!!!  We came home and got ready to meet Charlie and Sue at Hailey's Volleyball game.  Her team won both games.  So much fun watching them.  Great teamwork!  Melissa, Bruce and the boys came too, and sat with us.  Talked to Ginny and Ally when we went by the concession stand.  They were working it.  Came home and snuggled under our electric throws.  We haven't turned the heat on yet.  We are getting our kernel burner cleaned on Thursday.  Also, getting our furnace pipes purged because the workers put in 3 new registers.  No heat until these things are done.  Happy there's a warm up coming Wednesday and Thursday.
