Peyton and Isaac

Bill and I walked 2 miles at SportsZone.  I came home and put worship music on.  Made oatmeal for Bill and me.  I put mine in, took it out and then went and did something.  When I came back to put Bill's in, I accidentally put mine back in (it was in a dish holder so I didn't realize it was warm) Well when I went to take it out it had boiled over the dish and onto the dish holder.  Messy!  I gave Bill his and then remade mine.  I took Melissa to therapy, went and walked through Menard's, and then picked her boys up at 11:30.  We had just enough time to go pick Melissa up.  I let Jack and Max go in to get her.  They were pretty happy about that and so was Melissa when she saw them.  I took them home and Max and I went to McDonald's to hang out and talk. We had a nice talk and fun time.  He had Dr. Pepper with his meal and said he forgot how good Dr. Pepper is.  He told me he was discharged from his appointments in Cass City and had met all of his goals.  I am very proud of him.  He wanted to go home and work on his lego set.  Vikki called and wanted me to pick up Peyton and Isaac from school because she found a desk she was buying at Salvation Army.  They were happy to see me and came running to give me a hug.  I took them home and went in for a while.  Lenny was so good.  He tried to jump up on me and I said off and he just sat right down for me to pet him.  He kept sitting so I would pet him.  Lucy was pretty good for me too.  I was headed to get Hailey from school, but Melissa called and said she was staying at school for French Class activities.  I met Vikki, Rody, Peyton and Isaac at Hopevale for their worship service.  It was amazing and awesome!  What a great way to spend an evening!  I love worshipping God!   Bill and I watched Fireproof when I got home.

11/1/18...Took Melissa to Therapy, Picked her kiddos up at 11:30, Got groceries, Picked Hailey up at 3:15, Went to see the movie Gosnell

Slept in this morning.  Picked Melissa up and took her to therapy.  She only had it for 45 minutes of OT today, so I went to Jacks and then to the bank to cash a check.  Went back to the Rehab hospital and picked her up and then we went and picked the boys up from school.  They were pretty happy they only had a half day.  They all had their coupons with them for McDonald's and wanted hamburgers.  We went and they were so happy to use their coupons and get their burgers. We went back to their house and they ate their hamburgers and Melissa and I had left over chili from last night.  It was delicious.  I had another piece of yummy pumpkin cake too. I came home and put groceries away.  Picked Hailey up at 3:15 and took her home.  Came home and Bill and I went and saw the movie Gosnell.  Heartbreaking and an eye opener on  how awful abortion is.  Many have turned from their pro choice belief to pro life after watching this movie.  Pray it touches hearts to do that.  God's heart must be so sad about all the babies killed by abortions in our nation.  My heart is sad about it.

Bill and I walked 2 miles at the SportsZone. I came home and baked 2 loaves of bread and Bill cleaned out his side of our closet and took a load of stuff to Salvation Army.  After I read my Bible, I went to Melissa's and helped carry some stuff upstairs for her and helped clean the house for tonight.  Came home and got the one attic done.  Started working in the other room.  Went to Melissa and Bruce's to see the kids in their costumes and pass out candy while everyone went trick or treating. Only 9 trick or treaters. We all ate chili, homemade bread and pumpkin cake. Everything was delicious and it sure was fun getting together with everyone. The kids all had fun and I loved seeing them dump their candy out and look at what they got.  

10/30/18 Went to Breakfast, Went to Melissa's, took Melissa to therapy, Visited with Matthew at therapy, Picked up pizza and took Melissa home, Vikki stopped over at Melissa's

Matthew and Melissa at Therapy

It's a beautiful fall season

My favorite tree is starting to turn color now

We went to breakfast at Sullivans.  They didn't have an egg sandwich on the menu, but Jenny said they could make one for me.  It was delicious.  We had a good time visiting, praying and had a good devotion.  I went to Melissa's afterward.  Ran to the dollar store and then went back to Melissa's and took her to therapy.  I came home and read my Bible and got some things done around the house.  Bill went to his doctor appt. at the VA and they got the piece of earplug that broke off and got stuck in his ear out. I went back to watch Melissa on the lokomat.  We went and told Matthew we would be waiting in the waiting room to talk to him.  He came and we visited until Tom came to get him.  We gave him his birthday card.  He wanted to go out to eat, but Tom said their television broke and the guy was coming to their house so they couldn't. Melissa and I picked up a pizza and went to her house to eat it.  Vikki called and came after work and ate with us.  I went to Ollies and got some things for my Operation Christmas Child Shoe boxes and a book for Brittany's baby shower.  I went to pick up the boys after that, and then we went and picked up Hailey.  Dropped them off at their house and then came home and made dinner.  Got some boxes put back in the attic and then watched television with Bill and worked on my blog and went through some papers.

10/29/18, Visited John, Picked up Jack, Max, Hailey and Meredith from school.

Went to visit John today.  We saw a worker taking flowers to patient's rooms.  He told her he would like pink ones.  He was so happy when she brought them.

Bill and I walked three miles at SportsZone.  Worked on going through boxes to throw out unneeded stuff.  Can’t wait till everything is organized and back in the attic.  Cooked another squash to put in the freezer.  Picked up Meredith, Jack and Evan.  Max is at Hartley.  We took Meredith home and then went to Valley to get Hailey.  We stopped at McDonalds and got a hot fudge sundae for Jack, a shake for Evan, a Caramel frappe for Hailey and mocha frappes for Melissa and me.  They were in a drink tray, so I said we would wait to have them until we got to their house.  Then I told them if they wanted them now they could have them.  Hailey started passing them back to the boys and all of a sudden the two in the tray fell over.  Poor Hailey had it all over her hands, her seat, her lunch bag down the side of the seat.  She was doing her best to wipe it up.  It was so crazy that we did have a good laugh.  When I got home, I shampooed the car.  It cleaned up really good.  Came home and made chicken, fried potatoes and beets.  Went through more attic stuff and Bill cleaned his file cabinet.  We watched a movie.

10/28/18....Went to church, Took ink cartridge back to Sam's Club, Went to Bob Evans for lunch, Met Holly and picked up shoe boxes for operation Christmas child....went to worship and prayer at church

We went to church.  The Holy Spirit moved in a mighty way during worship.  We came home and changed and went to Sam's Club to take the ink cartridge back.  We got the wrong one.  We went to Bob Evan's after that and had lunch.  Saw Riley and Morgan Koweleski at the restaurant.  Bill had breakfast and I got a pot pie.  YUM!  We came home and took naps in our chairs. Bill noticed Bruce's car and someone's truck in our driveway.  He went outside and talked to them.   Bruce brought his friend, Matt Laux, over to look at our trailer to see if he could use it when he moves.  I went and met my friend, Holly in Freeland to pick up some shoeboxes for operation Christmas Child.  I always love filling shoe boxes for kids.  Holly is very involved and passes over 600 boxes out.  After I got home, Bill and I went to worship and prayer at our church.  We were happy when we saw Rody and Isaac there.  We prayed with people after the service.  It was an amazing time of worship and prayer.

Got ready and went to the Bazaar at Messiah Lutheran.  Found Vikki and Misty's Booth. They did a great job setting up and making it look pretty.  Vikki walked around with me.  I treated us to cinnamon rolls.  They were big and were delicious.  Only $2.00.  We had them warm them in the microwave.  We saw lots of nice stuff and i picked up something for the girls for Christmas.  Came home and Bill wanted to go to Sam's Club.  We got some ink for our printer and some other things we needed.  Charlie and Sue picked us up at 2.  We thought Dawn's benefit was today because Andrea posted we should change our dinner today and go to the benefit instead.  We went to the benefit and found out it is next week. We went and walked through MacSoods to pass time and then we went to the Golden Corral.  There were 16 of us there.  The food was delicious and so much of it.  We had great fun and fellowship.  Nice that Joel could be there with us.  We came home and played Euchre with Charlie and Sue.  We lost all three games.  We are so good to our company. 

Watched a Hallmark Movie after they left.
