Hertzler Doings~April 14-20, 2014

Mon.-Busy day. Susan made more eggs. We ran errands in Farmville. Goodwill, basketball practice, Fine Arts practice, gym, Judy twice, Hill and Davis, Walmart, Food Lion, Belk, and homeschool softball. I helped with the food. Susan's team won.

Tues.-Another busy egg day. Made lots of food between Susan and I. She delivered eggs, went back to Hill and Davis, to the bank, and to the gym. Phil had board meeting. Michael studying. Philip at home chasing errant cows back into the meadow. Worked out shore plans with Naomi.

Wed.-Had a great day in Midlothian today with Lisa H. (alias DDF). She drove and we got her car washed at a super cool place where they wash and vacuum it while you wait inside. Then we had lunch at an authentic Mexican restaurant with barely any wait and great inexpensive food. Headed to TJMax and then to my dental appt. and then back to Ross and Kroger. Back at her house I got to see her oil painting for the cover of her third book and also saw the video of their camper bus. I hope somebody wonderful buys it. Susan worked on her eggs and delivered them to Miller's and then worked out and went to youth. Philip headed to youth from here and Michael has a night flight tonight. Lost some tomato plants last eve. They froze under the buckets. I watered them quickly this morning but still lost them. The basil looks a little fried as well even though I had the herbs completely covered. So, we had more than a frost. We had a freeze. And they're calling for the same tonight. Last night I dreamed that Alli's water broke. I'm glad it was a dream. Little guy needs to bake in the oven a little bit longer.

Thurs.-Got sick in the middle of the night. Stayed in bed all day bundled up with hat, sweatshirt, socks, pants, blankets. Upset stomach. Everyone else here and there.

Fri.-Able to get up. Doing a few odd jobs. Just want to sleep. Got better as day progressed. Packed up car for Grams and More. Made big crockpot full of gourmet mashed potatoes for Sunday. Susan to Richmond shopping with Savvy and Livy. Michael flew with Chace to Blue Ridge Airport and had supper with him out there. Some break-throughs for jobs for Phil.

Sat.-headed out early for Grams and More. Stopped at Millers and got some jars at the yard sale and two shirts for a dollar for Michael. Grams and More went well today. We had a shortened version. We had a welcome, a devotional, sang Easter hymns, and dipped pb eggs and had lunch made by Teresa. Got to hear the choir singing and can't wait for church tomorrow. Came home and cleaned house, did some wash, made a 7 layer salad, and visited the Lucas's next door. They're here for a few days. Jenny-Tom and Kathy's daughter- signed her third book and gave it to me. I know what I'm doing tonight. (Read it out loud to Phil-the whole thing!)

Sunday-He is Risen! He is risen indeed! Went to both services. Philip sang in the choir during the second service. Awesome worship. Freeman played guitar. Many accepted Christ. Came home and rested a little and then went to Tom's for a huge Easter dinner. McIntoshes came too. Had a great time. Brought chairs outside and we sang and played through 'You Were the Joy.' It was precious to be sitting between Phil and Jenny. Freeman played the guitar soundtrack. I couldn't believe how he got the rhythms and chord changes down exactly like the sound track. It's been over 12 years since he would have heard it.
