We picked up Grandma at
8:45 am and headed to church. Pastor Randy’s message today was “The Miracle of
Christmas; the Moment” it was from the book of Galatians 4. Our Sunday school
lesson was “With Anticipation” from the book of 2 Peter 3:3-13, 17-18. The chocolate
gravy and biscuit that Cheri made for the Sunday school class went over well.
Many had never heard of chocolate gravy before. All the biscuits were gone and
only a little bit of the gravy left. Cheri had also taken deviled eggs and they
all disappeared. This afternoon I couldn’t get the Packer game and with the
racing season over I felt like something was missing. Cheri and I did watch a
couple of shows along with a short nap. This evening was our church Christmas
party. We picked up Grandma and then dropped her and Cheri off to get us a
table, then I went and picked up Jan Hughes. We sat with Charlie & Jan and
Skip & Joy. We had an excellent meal along with good fellowship and music. We
stayed a while afterwards to visit with some of the other people. It was a
wonderful evening with church friends and God.

Cheri was busy for most of
the day in her sewing room. I worked outside for a while cleaning up my shop
but really wasn’t in the mood to do it, so I quit before the job was done. Cheri
was telling me about a new quilt shop downtown and wanted to go. So around
11:30 am we headed downtown. Had a hard time getting there as they had a lot of
streets closed off getting ready for the Christmas parade this evening. As it
turned out it wasn’t a new quilt shop, it was one that was outside of town and
moved to a new location. Cheri did buy one piece of material. We had lunch as
soon as we got home. Then Cheri was back in her sewing room. I headed out to
Staples to have plans for a rocking motorcycle enlarged. I am going to try and
build one for our grandson Wyatt. I will have the better part of a year to get
it done so we will see how it goes. I also made a stop at Lowe’s looking and
dreaming about how I am going to enclose my outside work area. Cheri came out
of the sewing room and said that she has another quilt project done. After
supper we watched some TV until 8:00 pm. Then Cheri started making the chocolate
gravy to take to Sunday school tomorrow as she is on the list to finish food
for our class. I settled in to watch the Wisconsin Badger football game against
Penn State. The Badgers did lose the game, just couldn’t stop the big plays.
Cheri went to bed after she got done in the kitchen and I didn’t get to bed
until midnight.

After Cheri got her Friday
laundry done she went for her hair appointment and told me that she was going
to drive herself today. I went right to work on cleaning the rain gutters. A
few weeks ago I had bought one rain gutter guard to keep the leaves out so
after cleaning out the gutters I put it on to see if it was going to work on
our gutters and was a good fit. So when Cheri got home I headed over to Lowe’s
to get seventeen more of the guards. I didn’t have much trouble installing them
except where the gutter braces were. With a little modification things went
well. I also raked up the leaves in the back yard and part of the side yard. I
got five garbage bags full, wanted to do more but ran out of energy. For lunch
today Cheri made chocolate gravy to have over baking powder biscuits. Cheri
heard about this recipe a few days ago and wanted to try it. It really doesn’t
sound that good but I am here to tell you it is very good. Cheri spent the rest
of her day in the sewing room. When I got done outside was ready for the
recliner and a short nap. This evening we were invited over to Ken and Peggy’s
to play Hand, Knee, and Foot. They are still in the process of learning the
game. It was a fun evening and to make it better Ken and I won the game which
was very close.

Hard to believe it is December
already, this year has gone by really fast. Cheri was busy doing her Thursday
laundry this morning. All I got done was some Bible study. We left for a funeral
at 10:45 am. The mother of Kathy our next door neighbor past away. After the
funeral and lunch we headed to Wal-Mart to pick up some groceries and cleaning
supplies that Grandma needed. We managed to get in the wrong checkout line. The
lady in front of us couldn’t get her credit card to work. We finally had to
load everything up and go to another checkout. It was after 2:00 pm when we got
home. I was tired and not feeling like doing any work. So we both sat down in
our recliners to watch some TV but soon we were both asleep. I finally woke up
around 4:00 pm and Cheri was already awake. We watched the new Dolly Parton
movie that Cheri had recorded. It was a very good movie with great acting. Supper
was just a sandwich as we were still full from the funeral lunch.

Cheri was right at it early getting her
Wednesday house work done so she could spend more time in her sewing room. I
worked on installing the rollout drawers which took most all day. I did take a
break before installing the last two drawers to and get a haircut. I was going
to get the car washed but when I left there was a light rain which didn’t
amount to anything but did look like we were going to get more. When I got back
home I finished installing the last two rollout drawers. It was near 4:00 pm
when I got done. Cheri was good about cleaning out the cabinets so I could
install the drawers and then putting everything away again. I am now officially
done with the kitchen. I think I am done with all the house remodeling.
