Mon.-Very busy day. Woke up an hour late. Studied. Went for a walk and had a visit with Alli and Nathan. Met the mail lady at the end of the lane with the Polaris. Met Helen there and picked up Serena and Micah. Delivered package to Happy Valley and gave them a tour of the fields, pond, houses, etc. Made lunch of leftover chili and hot dogs. Then I did my hour exercise video while they patiently joined in and played outside. Then they watched Ice Age while I did some clean up and wash. Gena came with the twins-Mason and Wade. We played with them and talked. Susan and I love Gena so much. Time flew by and before we knew it it was 5:30 and she headed for home. Serena and Micah headed for home inside the hour. I'm trying to do my Monday jobs. Very busy day.
Tues.-Another busy day. Did the Circuit Breaker-80 min. exercise. Went walking with Alli and Nathan over at Happy Valley. Dear little guy fell asleep as we bumped him along. Worked in old house. Studied more on the Holy Spirit. Did wash. Tidied house. Phil sick. Possibly stomach entero virus. Running a temp. Sharp pains in stomach. Walked/jogged out on the road 8/10ths of a mile. Watched a Pink Panther with Phil and Susan. Philip is working on his house. Michael is either at Chace's or Chi Alpha. Life is full of changes. I will trust God because He is great and He is good. And He doesn't change.
Wed.-Rain! Phil still sick with fever and stomach pains all day. Did Leg day exercise. Studied. Got in some winter clothes and washed them. Went out early and got hair trimmed and bought Susan some shoes at Shoe Dept. Taught on Jesus' words on the Holy Spirit. Picked up grapes to make grape juice.
Thurs.-Cloudy day. Went out to town to run some errands. Came home and started on grape juice. Made 25 quarts from one big box. Tomorrow I'll use the steamer and won't get quite as many quarts. Had fun with Susan and Lucy tonight. Bought tickets for T. Two days without seeing Nathan. Phil's better. Maybe tomorrow I can see Nathan's smiley face.
Fri.-Grape juice! 60 Quart total. But got a walk in with Alli and a squeeze from Nathan in the morning.
Sat.-Busy day. Cleaning. Putting away grape juice. Cardio day. Movie night with Phil. Michael studying. Philip and Susan at Glory Reins Fund Raiser Hoe down.
Sun.-Great sermon on "Time" and how we use it. I decided that I've spent enough time worrying in my life and that I should spend more time trusting. Went to the picnic at Fuqua afterwards and cheered the bright orange team. All my kids were playing. Today's highlight was holding Nathan during church and having him fall asleep in my arms during worship. Enjoyed Gena and her two little guys today-Mason and Wade. Susan helped her hold them during church.

Tues.-Studied. Cardio day. Went out to Farmville. Lunch with Dianna, hug from Bethany at Miller's, stopped at Dry Cleaners but they wouldn't dry clean 30 year old homemade Teddy Bear that Pat Borgmann had made me for Freeman. Guess I'll have to figure it out myself. Went to Goodwill and found 3 pairs of capris. And Unglued Devotional book. Met Alli and Nathan at Dr. Travis's and held him while he worked on Alli and was in with them when he worked on Nathan. He's so good with all ages of people. Went to Walmart, Shoe Dept., and came home. Philip went to Chi Alpha. Mike stayed here. Susan went out to do some CrossFit with some other folks from church. I went over to help Alli and Freeman with Nathan for a little while this eve. Didn't sleep but a few hours-maybe two-last night. I think tonight I will sleep well.
Wed.-Little internet. Now catching up. Made pumpkin whoopee pies. Went out to church. Jenny taught on the Holy Spirit at work in the NT. So good.
Thurs.-Went to Dr. Harvey. Got new crown. Slept off drugs until 4 in the afternoon. Made chocolate whoopee pies with white filling and chocolate with pb filling.

Oh! AND it's Phil and Michael's birthday! 58 and 23. Happy Birthday to two of the four greatest men in the whole wide world! Tim Plank went to be with Jesus today. He is Dave's uncle. And we're thinking about him.
Sat.-Busy day getting ready for Philip's birthday hoedown this evening. Philip made his chili. We had 3 kinds of whoopee pies and also hot dogs.

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.
