Monday, 2/10/2020...Walked 2 miles, Did Small Group Lesson

Walked 2 miles in the morning.  Snowy morning.  Kimmy's boy's school was cancelled, but no schools in Saginaw were.  Did laundry, sewed my boots, and made a roast, carrots and potatoes.  Bill snowblowed the driveway. While he was doing it, Vikki called to offer to come over after the kids were out of school and do the driveway with them.  Sweet of her, but Bill has it pretty easy with the tractor and doesn't have to strain too much when he does that.  I shoveled the back deck path for him.
He slept quite a bit today, and I took a short nap.  The roast was yummy.  We both did our lesson for Small group and watched a nice Christian Movie on Amazon Prime.  Read some on my book, Knowing God.

Sunday, 2/9/2020....Bill was in lots of pain, went to church, took Bill to Urgent Care, Watched a couple of good movies

Pretty empty hospital waiting rooms...both ones we were in were empty...that's a good thing!

Bill wired for his EKG....good results praise God

Pretty snowy on the drive home

Pretty big snowflakes falling

Got ready for church, then noticed that Bill was is a super lot of pain.  He even had me put his socks on for him.  He was gasping out it was so bad.  I told him he should stay home from church, but he insisted on going.  He did let me drive. Everyone at church could tell he was in lots of pain.

When we went up at the end of service to pray for people, people came up and instead of us praying for them, they wanted to pray for Bill.  Lots of caring people at our church.  On our way home, I was going to take him to Urgent Care, but he wanted to come home and change and eat first.  We did that, then Vikki called to check on her dad.  I decided after talking with her and hearing how concerned she was, to take his blood pressure.  It was 180/100, so I took him immediately to Urgent Care.  We were the only ones in the waiting room, so he got in right away. They gave him a pain shot which helped.  We came home and he took a good nap.  I took a short nap too.  I saw these cute pictures posted on Facebook of Max and Hailey at Youth Group.  Bruce gave the devotion message, and other parents helped with food and games.  Melissa said Bruce got lots of nice compliments about his devotion.  We watched a couple good movies.  Melissa called to check on her dad, and so did Kimmy.  Blessed to have such loving, caring kids!

Sat., 2/8/2020, Went to Isaac's game, went to Tim Horton's, Got Lazy Boy, Went to Vikki's

We went to Isaac's game.  He really movies fast now!  Loved watching him play.  After his game, we went over to see Mike P., and his sisters, Ann and Susie.  We also saw Matt, Lupe and Nick.

Vikki, Rody, and the kids met us at Tim Horton's after Isaac's game.  We had fun figuring how to move a bottle of water off from a dollar bill.  Vikki did it before Bill showed her the right way.  The kids each did it than and got a dollar!  We gave a lady next to our table and her daughter a couple Starbuck gift cards.  Her daughter had down syndrome and sure made me think of Kenny.  She was such a loving girl.  I called Melissa and found out she was at Jack's game.  I didn't know he had a game, so I told her to send me a schedule.  I saw pictures later and read comments!  Jack did great and got a couple of 3 pointers although for C teams they don't count 3 points.  Jack was pretty excited though and found his spot.  What a confidence builder.  Can't wait to watch him play.

Bill and I went to Godwin's and found a recliner we really liked.  We brought some material samples home to make sure it would match.  It did, so we went back and got it.  It is a Kipling and is so comfy.  We came home and had round steak and Mashed potatoes for dinner.  Relaxed after that and read some.

Friday, 2/7/2020, Took Melissa to therapy, made roundsteak in crockpot, Went to Culvers and then walked around Art Van

It was beautiful this morning with the fresh white snow

Evan's class went to the planetarium today...He is 3rd from the left in back

Abby so cute all snuggled in the pillows on the couch

Didn't sleep good last night.  Got up and got ready to take Melissa to therapy. She sure is doing good walking now.  I came home and got round steak in the crockpot for dinner tonight.  I listened to Dr. Dobson's Friday morning prayer, and prayed along with thousands of people.  I picked Melissa up and got her a Grand Turkey Club.  She is such a sweetie and so beautiful inside and out.  

Praying for my Kimmy's arm and all my sweeties at her house to feel better.  After we ate, Bill took a nap and then we went to Culver's for concrete mixers. We went and walked around Art Van and got some steps.  Came home and watched the Democratic Debate.  It was all I could do to sit through it.  They are a bunch of baby killers who want to give women the right to kill their babies.  How about Abstinance, Birth Control, the morning after pill, not kill a baby.  They even want to kill late term abortions.  We Christians need to pray this evil is stopped.  I am praying like never before!

Thursday, 2/6/2020, Walked, Watched President Trump at National Prayer Breakfast, and at the Capital Building afterward

Such a great picture!  Trump Acquitted!

I walked 2 miles, then made oatmeal for Bill and I.  After we ate, we watched the National Prayer Breakfast.  So thankful for people in our nation that know the importance of prayer.  President Trump spoke at it and did great.  He also did a wonderful job later at the Capital, thanking all the many warriors who helped him fight against the awful Democrats who have been against him from the beginning and doing everything to get rid of him.   He has done amazing things already and has a great team of amazing leaders he surrounds himself with.  Praying he cleans up his language, but I am very thankful for his godly stand and the changes he is making for the good of our Country.

In the evening, we went to Faith Riders Officer's Meeting.  Had a good discussion and Vicki brought a yummy banana pudding dessert.

Wed., 2/5/2020....President Trump was acquitted today Praise God! Took Melissa to therapy, Went to Old Town Drive In, Picked Hailey up and took her to Taco Bell

Hailey with her birthday present I had ordered.  It came in today.  16th Growing Up Girls Birthday Girl.  Her last one, unless she wants the one they have when she gets married.

I love this sign Vikki has hanging in her house for her kids to learn the Word of God!  It was cute and precious when she erased the fruit of the Spirit and they were sad because they wanted it on there.

I took Melissa to therapy, stopped at the bank, and then came home and worked around the house.  I went to Hallmark and picked up Hailey's last birthday girl collectible.  They called yesterday and told me it was in.  I picked Melissa up, and we went and got to go orders at Old Town Drive in, and went to Melissa's to eat lunch together.  It was yummy.  I left right afterward and told Melissa to rest before the kids get home.  3 hours of therapy really tire her out.  She works so hard.  I went to pick Hailey up from school at 4.  I gave her her belated birthday gift, and then we went to Taco Bell.  She got her usual.  I got quesadeas (sp).  Only one person was there when we came in, but after we ordered, the place was packed with people.  We sure were happy we beat the rush.  We had a nice talk while we were eating.  I took her home and while we were driving, Vikki called to say President Trump was acquitted.  We were both so happy!  I sure am thanking the Lord!  

Tues., 2/4/2020...Went to breakfast at Sullivans, Picked up Peyton and Isaac, Had Small Group, Watched the State of the Union Address

Peyton with her McFlurry

Isaac with his McFlurry

We went to Sullivans for our breakfast.  We had a nice devotion, good fellowship, great food and lots of good prayer.  Came home and got the house cleaned.  Vikki wasn't feeling good, so I told her I would pick up Peyton and Isaac.  I haven't picked them up since they've been in second grade, so I was waiting at the wrong door. A nice teacher, who said I looked familiar, came out and told me where I could pick them up.   We decided on our way to their house that it should be McFlurry Day.  They both wanted Reeses Pieces in theirs.  When we left their school, they asked if we could go buy the big house that is being built.  Vikki had told me about how much they loved watching it be built.  Isaac started giving me directions to get there, and then when he didn't know which road to turn on, Peyton would tell me.  They went back and forth and got me right to the house.  It is huge!!!  The joy of twins and how they help one another.  We got their McFlurries.  They were happy and very polite, saying thank you right away.  They were pretty excited to see a big crane working on the McDonald sign.  They both told me three things about their day at school.  Such sweeties!  We had a great small group tonight.  What wonderful friends.  Many great testimonies shared of lives being touched.  We watched the State of the Union Address.  President Trump did an amazing job. We need to Make America Great Again!
