Max slept in until 9.  We ate breakfast and then Max went and got his Bible and started reading it.  That sure makes this Nana very happy.  I read my Bible too!  We decorated Christmas cookies, and he sure was a great helper.  He loved it when I said he could eat a couple.  He went and sat by the fireplace and got too close to the glass which was very hot.  His sweatshirt melted and left a big hole in the back and the fireplace glass had lots of melted nylon all over it.  I sure was thankful he didn't get burned.  Scary!!! I scraped it the best I could with a putty knife.  Bill took Max to find a new sweatshirt.  I talked to Kimmy and she said to let it cool and use WD40 on it and a razor blade.  I did that and it worked amazingly.  So easy.  I sure was thankful.  Vikki had a couple of Christmas cookies and then left.  Max and I went to McDonald's for lunch.  We had a nice talk and he went and got the straws, napkins, and ketchup for me and then took care of our garbage when we were finished.  He was very polite too.  I dropped off Max, and picked up Hailey and Jack to go to Isaac's game.  We had to drive around the parking lot until people came out and we could take their spot.  Crazy!

Jack and Papa went in the truck, and Hailey and I went in the car to Tim Horton's.  Took Hailey and Jack home.  They both thanked me when they got out of the car.  Bill and I went back to Penney's.  A lady handed us each a coupon when we came in the door.  He opened his and it was 30% and had me open mine and it was 40% our entire purchase.  We found some really great sales and with the 40% off the prices were amazing.  I found a pair of jeans which were regularly $44 and I got them for $14.  Found stuff for Christmas gifts.  We had lots of fun shopping.  Bill gave someone his 30% coupon and they were so happy. It sure was a great day!

Max...We were watching a movie and  I left the room for a few minutes.  This is how I found Max when I came back in.

Went shopping and got toys for kids at Youth Haven.  Love that they get the message of Jesus with their gifts.  This is another of my favorite traditions.  Took Melissa to therapy.  Came home and decorated Christmas cookies.  Went and picked Melissa up and visited with Matthew while he was on the Lokomat.  Then we walked him to OT and went to visit his dad in the waiting room.  Dropped Melissa off and headed to Marie and Roys.  It was pretty foggy as I got closer to Bay City.  Took some Christmas Cookies and Cabbage rolls to Marie and Roy.  Had a nice visit and Marie and I had some good prayer time.  Stopped at the Christian Bookstore in Bay City and dropped the toys I had picked up off.  Went to Melissa's and picked up Max to spend the night.  He had told me the other day that he wanted to spend the night some time.  We ate and then he was happy to pick out two Christmas Cookies.  After that, he wanted to watch the Lego Movie.  We had popcorn while we watched the movie that papa had brought home from the movies today.  He and Charlie went and saw the new Clint Eastwood movie. Max fell asleep on the couch at 8:30.  I woke him up to see if he wanted to get his pj's on.  He did and then I tucked him in upstairs.  What a sweet boy he is.

12/13/18...Took Melissa to therapy, made cabbage rolls, made cut out cookies

Hailey was still home waiting for her ride when I got to Melissa's today.

This 5 x 7 picture came in the mail today.  It took a while before All and I could figure out where it was taken. We finally figured out that it was at the Veteran's Dinner where we got the picture Bill loves of the Vietnam Wall.

I went to Melissa's early because she had therapy at 8 a.m.  Hailey was still there waiting for her ride to come.  She got right up and came and gave me a big hug which made this Nana very happy.  

She left for school and Melissa and I headed to therapy.  When I got home, I returned a couple of things to Amazon.  Had to take them to the UPS Store.  It was very easy to return them.  I made cabbage buns and Cut out Christmas cookies.  Taking some of both to Marie and Roy tomorrow.  Also taking some to Melissa so they can decorate them as a family.  Watched a Hallmark Movie.

Went to the SportsZone and walked tow miles.  Bill had an early appt. so he didn't walk today.  Went to the dentist today and had a tooth pulled.  The crown came off and the tooth was rotted under it.   

It didn't hurt but my mouth sure felt funny from the numbness afterward.  Went to Macy's and Penney's and looked around.  Got a pair of jeans on sale for $14.00.  In the evening, Vikki and Peyton came over and rode with Bill and I to Jacob and Adam's band concert.  They did so good on their songs.  The whole concert was amazing and the music was so good.  They played a lot of songs about Jesus which was great.  Will have to add Pictures of Adam as soon as the girls send me some

12/11/18...Took Melissa to Therapy, Visited Amy (Jim's daughter) Went to our breakfast, worked on puzzle, Cleaned and emptied out desk upstairs

Melissa had to be at therapy at 8:30 so took her there and then went to breakfast.  There were 11 of us there today.  We gave Jenny a Christmas card and money.  She's a really good waitress.  Prayed with Sue on my way home.  She is depressed again, so called me for prayer.  Picked Melissa up from therapy and went to Covenant to visit Jim's daughter, Amy.  We had a burger in the cafeteria, before we went up to see her.  Melissa was at therapy 2 1/2 hours so I knew she should eat.  We went up to visit Amy.  She is in with pneumonia but the dr. said her lungs are sounding much better.  We prayed for her before we left.  I took Melissa home and then went home and cleaned the desk out upstairs.  It is way too big, so we are downsizing.  We got rid of the desk computer and are just going to have your laptop.  We haven't used that computer in years.  Rody is getting rid of all the data on it and then his company will smash it.  It's so old, it's no good anymore.  Bill and I ate dinner, and then Bob came to work on the drywall patching he's doing.  We watched Christmas with the Krank's.

12/10/18...Walked at SportsZone, Went to breakfast with the girls at Tony's, worked on puzzle, got gas for vehicles with Bill

Look who got a hair cut....Abby  She looks so cute and her face is all better now

Walked 2 miles with Bill at the SportsZone.  Went to Tony's for breakfast with Melissa and Vikki.  Sure wish my Kimmy lived closer.  I took Melissa home and got my doggie time in.  Melissa's tree looks beautiful and her house is decorated really nice.  I picked up some Christmas cards and some ingredients for Christmas cookies.  Came home and started working on a new puzzle.  Hard to stop when you get started.  Bill called and wanted me to meet him to get gas in our vehicles.  We had a dollar off each gallon so that was nice.  Made spaghetti for dinner.  We relaxed, watched a show with people singing Christmas Carols and had popcorn.

Went to church, Baked Christmas cookies with Stacie and Kody, Went to New Life's Leadership Christmas Party

The first batch was made with gluten free flour.  They were so crumbly that Stacie tossed the rest of the flour

Stacie and I did a selfie....Love this precious girl

Kody decorating.  He wanted to put his own candy that he had saved on some of them

A couple of Vikki's cute gnomes she made

Went to church.  Good message and wonderful worship.  After church, we went to Bob Evans with Pat and Rich Dudek.  We had a nice visit with them.  Stacie messaged me and wanted me to come over and make Christmas Cookies with her and Kody.  We got home and Bill worked on the pillars and I headed to Stacie's.  Kody was really excited that I was there and we could make the cookies.  

We had a good time and lots of laughs while we made cookies, cut them out and baked them.  The first couple of batches were made with glucose free flour.  They didn't cut out very good and crumbled when we baked them.  Stacie threw the rest of the flour out because they were so bad.  We made a new batch with regular flour and it went much better.  Kody was a great helper and stuck with it for a long time.  Then he went in the living room to play until Stacie made the frosting.  DJ came in and asked if he wanted to go out to the shed and help him, so Kody got ready and went out.  We got all the cookies cut out and baked and then I had to leave.  Kody and Stacie decorated them later.  I got home and Vikki, Peyton and Isaac were there.  She took some amazing pictures of her gnomes on my fireplace mantle.  It was cold in the house when I got there, so I turned on the furnace until I could get the kernel burner going good again.  It burn pot needed scraping.  Got it toasty pretty fast.  I had to get ready for our Christmas Party and then visited a little with Vikki. Rody got here and he took care of our old computer upstairs for us.  What a blessing he is.  He and Isaac flew their drones for a while.  We went to our Christmas Party and had a great time.  We sat with Kristen and Grant, Jennifer and Erin, and Dennis Watkins.  We had such a nice time and the food was delicious.  Bill really liked it because it was stuff he could eat.  Not lots of cheesy things.

We came home and watched a Hallmark Movie.
