Hertzler Doings~Sept. 8-14, 2014

Mon.-Rainy. Philip and Phil drove to Williamsburg and were back early afternoon. Freeman and Tommy worked in the long barn building a wall and shelves. Alli brought Nathan over for a little while so she could clean up the mess he made. ;) Susan slept in. She is fighting off a nasty sore throat. Gena, Mason, and Wade, came over. We had a great visit with them. I made some tortilla mixture for supper, tidied up my desk, studied Is. 61 notes, and went to check out Philip's house. It's a great house. Just needs a lot of work. Michael's at Chace's studying and Susan went out to the Farmville gym and to the girl's volleyball game at New Life. Today was arm day in my X-treme fitness training. Tomorrow is hardcore abs. Maybe I shouldn't have eaten that handful of potato chips. Exercising like this makes me want to eat healthily too. Tomorrow it will be a week since I started. I've lost 3 pounds.

Tues.-Studied Isaiah. Exercised Ab Day. Cleaned the kitchen. Visited with Alli and Nathan. Took them on a gator ride over to happy valley. Took Susan to the doctor. No strep. No mono. Thank God.  Guys went to Chi Alpha. Phil went to board meeting. Susan is so relieved. She is singing and making cookies. I didn't go to a party tonight because my throat is sore and I am tired and the next two days are so busy. Watched "God's Not Dead." So good.

Wed.-Studied Isaiah. Exercised. Walked out the lane and back and did the stretch video. Worked in the old house for 15 min. Did some chores. Alli and Nathan came for several hours. Watched 'God's Not Dead'. I made some chicken, rice, and green beans. Susan went out to the gym and mowed. She worked on her blog a little. Took pictures from start to finish of potatoes she made and did some research. She's so happy she can hold Nathan. We went out to church tonight. She enjoyed youth group and I taught on Isaiah 61 and Luke 4. Our class prayed hard for America and for the terrorists, that they would see Jesus.

Thurs.-Happy Birthday Dear Philip! Michael put a post on face book about Philip being his best friend and brother-faithful and generous-and he asked others to say things about Philip. It made P's day. They are working in Williamsburg and will be home tomorrow. Alli came over tonight with Nathan and we watched 'In Love and War.' Michael has much work to do for school. Susan is spending the night with a friend. Davi misses her Phil. I went to Farmville for some good advice and stopped in to see Judy. She took a picture of Logan and I and put it on face book and people are mistakenly believing it's my grandson. Remembering 9/11 today and asking God to have mercy on our nation.

Fri.-Studying John 14 and the words Jesus had to say about the Holy Spirit. Michael made us a nice bacon, onion, green pepper, and cheese omelet and we laughed our way through breakfast watching the Three Stooges. Susan came home from the Helton's mid morning. She went to the gym, mowed, did some jobs, made some food, and bit me. I put that on face book. It was kind of funny. I did chest and back day and feel like the Incredible Hulk now. Nearly an hour of work out! Also vacuumed and washed the floors, worked in the old house, made turkey burger, rice, broccoli, and coconut macaroons. Alli came over in the eve for supper and we watched Robin Hood for almost an hour and then the guys came home from Williamsburg. We visited for awhile and sat outside. It's so nice and cool. Nathan was sitting on Phil's lap and was drooling over his ice cream and was trying to talk Phil into giving him some. He is nearly ready to start solids. I've been playing the piano and Phil loves it. It's not 8 and I'm getting ready to take a warm bath. The windows are open and it's cool outside. Good snuggling weather tonight.

Sat/Sun-Made cookies on Sat. Had Nathan in the eve. Church was great. Went to Cook Out with Phil after church and saw lots of Calvary Chapel friends. Michael's birthday party was this afternoon. About 25 kids enjoyed the river, volleyball, football, croquette, etc. Made hot dogs and s'mores down at the river. Perfect day. Great friends.
