 My breakfast was the same as usual, then I had time in my room resting in my recliner. The house is still full, but the Hailey family will be leaving for the airport in a few minutes. It was good that they were able to spend the time here and not at the airport. I pray that they have a safe time returning home. I pray for this Christmas Season and for our country. Thank God for all that we have.

 This is Sunday and the house is full and kids having their fun. Today we had the time of exchanging gifts. It is so interesting to see the kids getting into the fun. There was 10 adults at the table and three children, next year it will be four children. Tonight, they all went to the outdoor market at the church. Alden Gina and myself stayed home tonight. We went last week to it; I am not too fond of being out in the cold at night, maybe it is my age creeping up on me. Today I finished reading the Dec. Decision from Billy Graham, which I enjoy reading, even I read slowly. My dinner tonight was a green salad and cottage cheese and a cookie. I wish I could transfer my cell pictures to my computer, maybe Alan will show me how when he comes.

I rested in my room while the rest were getting ready for Hailey's to come tonight, they will be here for a week for early Christmas. Matt's job caused them to come early. My evening meal was Lasagna and jello for dessert.

Then it was lunch time and McKenna made egg salad sandwich for my lunch. Afternoon was folding clothes which were washed. Evening meal was sweet potato fries, some egg salad and Jello. Then Alden took off for shopping at Cost Co. I like now I can set my little heater for several hours and I can set it at a low temperature and also set it to rotate. What more should I ask for.

Get ready for Alden to take me to Jimmys for breakfast. That is always a treat as it is good food. We also ordered sweet potato fries to bring home. When we got home, I had a nap in my recliner. Alden did some work in the back yard. Evening meal, I did not eat much but I had corn and Jello. I received a Christmas card from Marianna and she said John is in the hospital and they have been having some falls. I am praying for them; they are great friends of mine.

 Up early and dressed and made my bed, time in my recliner then I went to the kitchen to check what was on for breakfast, it was oatmeal with raisins and banana, topped off with a cup of coffee. Then Alden wanted to check if my brain was working, well here is the results as I won all three games. He goes back to teaching tomorrow. Tonight, they took me to what is called a night fair in the church parking lot, people had areas of where they would sell things, and they sold food also. Alden and I had ham and scalloped potatoes and a couple cookies. It was cold there, but I was in the wheeled chair with blankets over me. But it seemed good to get home in my room. It has been a while since I have gone out.

 Today is our Anniversary which is 67 years ago when we were married. Yes it was Alagata which means (Rough Road) in the Samoan language, but I am very thankful for it. We had many good times, and a great family, I LOVE my boys. God was with us in all things. He provided us with all our needs. McKenna cut my hair today and I took a picture of the hair cut but for some reason I can not move the picture to my computer. That is another thing I have to have Alan show me how to copy my cell pictures to my computer pictures.

Friday Dec. 6 2024

 Last night it was cold but Alden showed me how to set my heater so it can be at a moderate temperature for most of the night. There is a trick to setting it which Gina and I could not figure out. I have my flashlight handy when I set it. Today I did my bible reading and computer things. My lunch was scrambled eggs and a slice of toast. My afternoon was a nap and computer games and puzzles. Evening meal was a pasta hot dish which was very good, I also had some of my yogurt but with this cold weather I don't care much for the yogurt.

Thursday Dec. 5, 2024

Feeling better as I had a good night sleep. I learned how to adjust the heater, so my room is more even tempters. I still only sleep a couple hours in my bed or chair, then I have to move, but that might be a good thing. I fixed my oatmeal and coffee for breakfast, then Gina came to put my socks on. Emma came and she wanted a ride on my walker, she never forgets that. Next week Haily's will be here for a week so we will have our Christmas early. 

Wednesday Dec. 4 2024

Up this morning with a better sleep last night. At 9:30am I went to the dining room for breakfast which was oatmeal with raisins and coffee which was prepared by Gina. Then Gina put my socks on, and she joined me. Later on, Gina put the washed clothes on my bed, and I folded them. I went through my clothes and put many clothes in a pile for Alden to put in the GOOD WILL box. Some of the clothes were too small as I had a hard time getting dressed in small clothes, as it puts too much pressure on my shoulder as I don't have help when I get dressed. Evening meal was a burrito and a small slice of pumpkin pie.

Afternoon was a nap and computer things. Evening meal was rice, green beans, ham, cottage cheese and a small slice of pumpkin pie.

 I had a better night last night, it seems like my shoulder is not so painful, I think it is because I am resting it more. I pray that I have a good night again, even I still only have sleep about two hours, then I have to go to my chair or my bed. Today I did bible reading, computer things and resting.
