Hertzler Doings~Oct. 3-9, 2014

Mon.- Finished up teaching for the weekend at Encounter. Exercised with the DVD for an hour and 20 min. Went walking with Alli and Nathan at Happy Valley and then played with him for awhile when we got back. Stretched. Did lots of wash. Cleaned out purses. Made a roast and a turkey, rice, vegetable dish. Went down to the river for two hours and had a fire and rest. Made apple crisp and watched a Columbo with the family. Weather is crisp and beautiful. Leaves are leaving their homes and making new ones on the ground.

Tues.-Apples. And Nathan's first trip to the river. Fell asleep in my arms during the last stretch as I drove the gator. Alli studied and I drove around the field to put him into a deeper sleep. When he woke up 'we' threw stones in the river. I took off one of his socks and he 'walked' on leaves and felt sand between his toes. When I dipped his little foot into the river, he was quick to pull it up. What a little darling little darling little boy.

Wed.-Apples. Photo shoot with Susan over at Happy Valley. What a beautiful daughter. What a wonderful woman. Encounter meeting and later, teaching on revival by Luke F. in sanctuary.

Thurs.-Made applesauce.

Fri.-Made October butter. Went to Farmville to run errands. Made 28 chicken legs and baked potatoes for weekend food. Watched a Columbo with Phil and Susan. Encounter begins this eve. at New Life. Wonderful time. Spent the night at Judy's.

Sat.-Women's Encounter with God at New Life all day. Michael made us four big egg casseroles, biscuits, and gravy for breakfast. What a wonderful day. Susan shot her first buck. Six point. Muzzleloader. Congratulations!

Sun.-Pastor Bill spoke on the peace of God and peace with God.  Encounter testimonies. Got out of church pretty late and went to Tom's for Bethany's going away luncheon. Sat around and visited all afternoon. Am so full of chocolate cake with pb icing, lasagna, salad, garlic bread, and ice cream. Oh, and fresh apple cider. Kept Nathan there and Alli and Freeman took our car so they could go home and rest. He was awake every half hour last night. Teeth are bothering him. We took him home then. Michelle looks so cute at 5 months pregnant. Or is it 6? Bethany is going to Alabama for 3 months to work with children whose parents are in prison. She will have three other friends there at the same time and she will be closer to the Fuhrmans so that will be nice for her. It's not quite 7 but I am just about ready to hit the sack. Wow, what a weekend. Thank you God.
