Hertzler Doings~Jan. 19-25, 2015

Mon.-Today's highlight was having time for loving Nathan for an hour while his mommy made him delicious homemade organic pear puree and then watching a movie with her and Susan when she came back. Last test from Dr. came back negative. But when those natural herbs come in the mail to get rid of little inhabitants, I'm going to take them, just to be sure. Phil's dad came home from rehab today. Isaiah 35:3-8.

Tues.-Made a big pot of vegetable soup this morning. Took Phil out to get his truck in Farmville and then ran errands. Went to CVS to get photos of Thailand made. Went to Belk, Walmart, Cato, Shoe Dept., Miller's, B&M Greenhouse, and Judy's to pick up my movie. The Greenhouse lady told me that if I took hyacinth bulbs and refrigerated them for 5-6 weeks so they have a 'winter', then I could place them in vases of water and the roots would grow and then the flowers would also. I bought some that were rooted and ready to bloom at Kroger a few weeks ago and it was so nice to have all that springtime in our windowsill. Susan went to the gym and had basketball practice. Michael and Philip went to Chi Alpha this eve. I think. And Phil had a board meeting. Watched a Monk episode with Susan after we put the groceries away. Hot tub is waiting and an Andy Andrews book.

Wed.-Had Nathan while his mommy went to an appt. and he fell asleep in our bed and she snuck in and we talked a little and then she went home until he woke up about 2 1/2 hours later. What a little darling. He's doing army crawls on his tummy and likes when we hold him by his arms so he can walk. He's having a growth spurt and eating really well. I went to Dr. F. in the afternoon and then sorted through yarn, material, and patterns. I washed big storage containers and consolidated those things and have several bags for Goodwill and one for Judy. Watched two Columbo's with Phil and Susan in the eve.

Thurs.-Spent the day at Judy's with Logan while she was with her mother Pearlie, who fell and broke her hip. Stayed on in the afternoon and visited with Judy then went to Debby M's where Sara and Amber made the party of four to have supper and watch a movie and have popcorn, brownies, and animal crackers. Susan's team won again!

Fri.-Had Nathan for a little while Mommy ran out to get tires and groceries. He is just so precious. I love feeding him. He ate all his food plus over half of a banana. It was snowing for a little but then turned to rain. Vacuumed and washed the floors and am trying to organize the back room and our bathroom. Made baked potatoes and cheddar cauliflower/broccoli/squash/carrots to put on top plus veg. soup and garlic butter bagels. Michael made the garlic bagels. So good. Guys had buck night and Claire came home with Susan so Tommy and Claire were here for supper because he stayed until the eve. The guys had a great time over in the man cave and Susan and Claire watched a movie and had popcorn over here. Phil and I watched a Columbo. Slept great.

Sat.-Guys are butchering a pig today and making sausage. Nathan and Alli came over for a visit. Made apple cinnamon pancakes for breakfast. Phil's visiting Roger over at the Lawler's. Claire went home. Susan to gym. I'm about to work on the back room and put the venison meatloaf into a container. Ricky Benson came over in the eve. Susan made cheddar cheese garlic biscuits and Philip fried up every kind of sausage into patties and we had breakfast for dinner. Michael went with Meredith to her work banquet. Caught up with Lindsay on face book in the eve. They have 5 inches of snow and it continues to fall. I wish I could get snowed in with her and the family.

Sun.-Great send off service with Pastor Alvin and Charity. Michael made homemade pizza and then around 3 some friends started coming. They are playing Quelf now in the man cave. Tommy T. and Sheri K., Ricky, Melissa, and other Chi Alpha friends. Alli brought Nathan over for a little over an hour and we passed him around and played with him. Susan went to Fisher's for a bonfire. Phil caught up with his sister Anne and told her about Thailand and how much it meant to him to be with Pastor Joi. It felt like he got to hold his brother again.
