Hertzler Doings~April 27-May 3, 2015

Mon.-Worked on clothes stored in old house and washed some to consign, packaged some up for Goodwill and others. Planted tomatoes, herbs, and flowers. Made chocolate angel food cupcakes and a white angel food cake for the sports banquet tomorrow eve. Freeman, Alli, and Nathan aren't feeling so well. Janelle called and had the chills. Ran over to her and gave her some Theraflu, a bag of clothes, and two containers of fossils that Rosalee sent for Micah. They were Abie's. Also, a horseshoe crab shell. He was delighted. I didn't go in the house so I wouldn't get germs. Haven't seen Alli and Nathan for the same reason. Susan is getting her wisdom teeth out next Monday and I don't want her to get sick. Went over this eve to see Philip's house. He's really coming along. He could put camouflage curtains on all the windows and they would go with all the colors in all the rooms. It's beautiful. He's certain of what he wants and it's going to be so nice.

Tues.-Busy day working in the front garden and old house. Then to Farmville for Homeschool Grad meeting and Sports banquet. Then to Food Lion and then to Janelle's where we dropped off pizza for Micah and garlic for Janelle. She has the flu. Susan got the leadership award tonight. I am proud of her. I sat with Jenny M and Jenny M. Two great friends. I'm glad they got to meet each other. Michael had his last class today. Final class of college of four years. Planted 3 more tomato plants-total of 12 planted.

Wed.-Busy, busy day. Walked out the lane and up the trail and down the road and back down the lane and then walked out the lane and back with Alli and Nathan a few hours later. Finished digging up the flower garden and ready for mulch. Worked in the old house. Babysat Nathan in eve while mommy and daddy went to church meetings. He was kissing Susan, Phil, and I. He's feeling so much better and ate all of his supper. He's been feeling sick for a week and a half and started antibiotics last night for a sinus infection. Susan went to the gym and mowed Happy Valley. Philip picked up a pool table tonight for his house. Phil planted field corn. Michael has been here and there. Finishing up college and drinking in the spring mornings.

Thurs.?

Fri.-Rain. Thinned green beans and worked on old house after the rain and tidied the house and made an angel food cake for Chai Time and ordered a blender because ours just died and watched a movie with Susan and got to bed early but first, I got to see Alli and Nathan this morning at their house and got lots of kisses from the little guy. Michael made another batch of soap-peppermint. Philip worked on his house after work. Michael helped Jordan B move some things. Phil worked in the office and got ready to go fishing. Susan went to the gym.

Sat.-Phil, Philip, and Susan, left early this morning to go to Pa to visit family and to attend the trout rodeo tomorrow. Michael stayed home and relaxed and Jordan came over later in the eve. I went out to Farmville. First I went to Chai Time where I had a great time with Nathan. Then I ran a few errands and went to The Heart of Va. and then to Judy's where they had a picnic for her mother, Pearlie. She is celebrating Mother's Day and also her return to her apartment. She had to have surgery and therapy due to a fall and has been away from her home for 4 months. Judy's family is warm and welcoming and it was a great time. Then I went to Goodwill and Walmart and came home and vacuumed and washed the floors, ate ice cream and made popcorn and watched a movie all by myself. And it was fun. Phil called around 8:45 and he and Susan were on their way to see Aunt Anne and family. They'll have a late night and early morning tomorrow but with three drivers to bring them home, they'll do okay.

Sun.-I'm so glad I went to church today. Great service and worship and altar time and fellowship afterwards. Went to the river in the afternoon and in the eve, Nathan came while his parents went fishing and about 6 or 7 friends from Chi Alpha. Michael made egg rolls and then they went down to the river. Phil, Philip, and Susan, came back and had a cooler full of huge trout. They caught their limit. They were second or third on a scene of an accident. A car was flipped on its' hood and the wheels were still spinning on Rt. 6. Alcohol was most likely a factor if the beer cans told a story. The young man wasn't wearing a seat belt and was thrown out of the car. If he had been wearing a seatbelt, he wouldn't have another chance not to drink and drive. Susan said that she hoped this would help him learn and that he would never do it again. No one else was hurt. He was bleeding from nose and seemed beat up but Phil talked with him and he just wanted to get home. Phil helped some people clean up the road and they were on their way before long. Someone stopped and walked back because they had seen the car flipping in their rear view mirror. Another young man had seen the whole thing happening. We said good bye to Jameka tonight. She is moving back home and will be looking for a job in communications. What a dear friend she's been. Aleesha, Selena, Mel, Brittany, Bryan, and-oh, I'm missing somebody, were here tonight. Tomorrow, Susan gets her wisdom teeth out. They are still outside, talking and having fun. The girls were thrilled to get to give milk to a calf tonight with a bottle. Oh, Phil brought home a running stroller for Nathan from Megan Nicholas's friend. It's really nice.
