Update of Thanksgiving

Ethel and I left at 12:00 noon to go down to Alden's. Ethel's grandson Sam came to Alden's to take Ethel to Chad's for a get together there, Ethel took Pumpkin pie from Cost Co.
I stayed at Alden's. They cooked a great dinner with everything for Thanksgiving, turkey, ham, dressing, green bean hot dish, sweet potatoes and plenty of mashed potatoes and gravy. I took apple pie and pecan pie and rolls from Cost Co. I informed Alden that I will not cook anything this year but I can pick up something from the store. After dinner there was the game of shuraids played and everyone helped themselves to desert. In the evening we watched a movie. I stayed over night and Friday morning when I got up Alden and I had some time talking over what was on our minds until the rest of the family joined us. I left Alden's at about 1:00 ppm to drive home as Ethel called and said Sam had already taken her home.
Today we went to Church, pastor Dr. Mofid was the speaker on " Hope: Light Shines in the Darkness" from Genesis 1:1-3, Deuteronomy 32:10-11, Luke 1:35
After Church we went to Marie Calenders for brunch and this afternoon we put up some Christmas decorations.

Last Prime Time for 2015

Today we went to the last Prime Time for 2015. There was a great attendance again. The entertainment was MICHAEL RUHL vocalist. I have to tell the story, one of the ladies from our "Hand & Foot" group went to sleep while Michael was singing and the vocalist saw her and came down from the platform and sat on the chair if front of her and sang to her, she was so surprised.
So don't go to sleep when among a group of people. But we all had a good laugh oh so much fun.

The lady that did devotions is the head of the Presbyterian Thrift Shop which all profits go to missionaries.

The Luncheon was Turkey Buffet with all the trimmings ending with pumpkin pie.

At 3:00 pm we went to our Hand & Foot card game at the club.

Prime Time

Yesterday we went to Prime time at Church and there was a very large attendance, over 100 people. The entertainment was "The Sophisticats" which played and sang many old time favorites. The table discussion was "your favorite vacation" Ethel told about her vacation to Florida on the motorcycle. She received a cookie made at RBCPC kitchen.  The Menu was "White Chicken Enchiladas"

In the afternoon we went to the club for the game of "Hand and Foot". There was nine ladies present.

This morning we went to our ceramics class. This afternoon we went to the Travel lecture which was on Pearl Harbor, very interesting. This evening I made a hot dish with Shrimp and pasta but it did not turn out like the one we had at Applebees. So I guess we will have to go back to Applebees.

Physical Therapy

This morning I got up at 5:45 am and got ready for the day as I was uneasy in bed so I relaxed in my chair for a while. Then we had oat meal with raisins for breakfast and some of Lovely's package coffee. We left the house at 7:40 am to go to my 8:00 physical therapy appointment. I was advised to keep taking the assigned exercise and no need to return unless necessary.
Then we went to Home Depot for some things, then off to Wal Mart. We were on our way home at 10:10 am. We relaxed some and had the last of our chicken and dumplings.
At 1:15 pm we went to the club for Rummy-Q which we have not done since we went on the Alaska Cruise. I was lucky to win all 3 games and I collected $3.00.
We came home and had left over pizza for dinner. Watched the News and game shows which I had a hard time staying awake.

BUSY BEA

This morning I got up to a very horrible odor and it was the sewer back-up in the shower and commode again. I called Tom to report it. After we had breakfast we went down to the ceramics room to see what was going on as we needed to return back home as the plumber would be arriving soon. So no work on any ceramics today.
For lunch we had some left over chicken and dumplings.
I did some cleaning up of files etc. as my file and safe were overflowing, I had to trash some unneeded paperwork. We had a little rain this afternoon. Ethel and I played some Dutch shuffleboard. I put some pizza in the oven with pineapple and extra cheese for dinner.
We watched the Charger against the Chicago Bears and the Bears won.

FIRST Physical Therapy

Yesterday I went for my first session of physical therapy. I will have 2 more sessions then I am on my own. I am to put a hot pad on my back for ten min. first then do 30 min. of exercise which was shown to me. I am to do this in the morning and a session in the evening.
Today Jon and Maria came to pick up Ethel to go to Los Vegas as they are having a family get together up there as Jon's son lives in Los Vegas and Ida is coming from Montana also.
I went to Prim Time today and I took Mary with me. The speaker was Mark Carlson. the food was Stuffed Cabbage, rice, rolls, beet salad, bread pudding and drinks, it was very delicious.
At 3:00 I went to the club to play "Hand & Foot" with the ladies. There was eight of us today.
