We picked up Grandma and
took her to church with us this morning. Pastor Randy had powerful message on
faith and was very interesting and made the time go by so fast. Sunday school
was also about faith and went along with what Pastor Randy’s message was about.
We didn’t go out for lunch today as we still have leftovers at home that we
need to eat. We stopped by Mel and Jan’s to drop off notes from church and
Sunday school as Mel is still very weak and wasn’t able to go to church. We
visited for a while and waited for Sherry to return from shopping so we could
say good bye to her as she is leaving to go back north in the morning. When we
got home we settled in to watch some of the TV shows we have recorded, we have
a lot of shows to get caught up on. I got an e-mail from Mike and he wants to
go for a motorcycle ride so we got one set up for Thursday. They are calling
for rain on Thursday but it is far enough away maybe we won’t get it. We couldn’t
go any sooner as Thursday and Friday were the only days everyone was free.

Things were kind of sad
here this morning as Nikki has to leave today and head back to Wisconsin. The
week she was here went so fast and we didn’t get to take her to some of the
places we had planned. We left for the airport at 10:30 am. After we dropped
Nikki off at the airport we stopped at the tile shop to buy the back splash for
the kitchen. The store was closed for the weekend. The store hours for Sat were
8:00 am to 12:00 pm and we were there at 11:45 am. I could see other delivery
slips on the door so I know they were closed all day. We stopped at Home Depot
to see about an under counter pull out towel rack, no luck on that. We did buy
some spray paint to try and paint the switches and electrical outlets to match
the back splash. We also stopped at Lowe’s still looking for the towel rack
with no luck. So when we got home I ordered one on line. I sprayed one switch
and cover and it looked good next to the back splash sample we have. We relaxed
the rest of the afternoon and then met Mike and Pam uptown at 5:00 pm for
dinner and then back to our place to play cards. It has been over two weeks
since we last seen them, nice to end the day with good friends.

Well I know Thanksgiving
over because Cheri had me get all the Christmas decoration out and put the
Christmas tree up. Cheri and Nikki spent all morning putting away all the
Thanksgiving decorations and putting up the Christmas decorations. I worked in
the kitchen putting up the pendulant lights up over the peninsula counter. It
was after 1:30 pm when I got done which was shortly after Cheri and Nikki got
done with the Christmas decorations. We had a late lunch as I didn’t want to
stop with the lighting until it was done. After lunch we dropped Nikki off at
Grandma’s and Cheri and I went to the hospital to see Mel. He is very dehydrated
from the radiation treatments and loose bowels. They think he will be able to go
home tomorrow. We picked up Nikki around 5:00 pm and headed home. We had
another Thanksgiving dinner from all the left overs, still have enough turkey
for a couple more meals. I have uploaded a picture of craft projects Cheri and
Nikki did this week.

Happy Thanks Giving. I
hope you all had a blessed day and was able to spend it with family and
friends. The turkey dinner with all the trimmings we got from Publix’s was
really good. Nikki made a cherry pie and pumpkin fluff to eat with gram
crackers. While Cheri and Nikki were fixing dinner I worked on getting the
water and drain hooked up to the new sink. Everything went well until I hooked
up the drinking water. I had run a new water line for it. When I turned on the water
I had a leak spraying water where it came into the cabinet. It looked like it
was coming from behind the dishwasher. So I removed the dishwasher and found it
was right where it came through the cabinet side wall. Somehow it got bent over
and broke at that point. I had an extra water line splicer so it wasn’t long I
had it fixed and the dishwasher back in place. It took most of the day to
getter done as Cheri and Nikki were working in the same area getting dinner
ready. Late this afternoon after I got done Cheri, Nikki, and Grandma played
cards. I headed to my recliner to watch a little TV and take a nap. Nikki took
Grandma home which was nice because I really didn’t feel like going out. I was
the last one to bed this evening as I had to stay up to watch the Green Bay
Packers play the Chicago Bears. It was a disappointing game as the Bears won.
The Packers had plenty of chances but just didn’t pull it off.

We got around early this
morning as they were coming to install the new counter tops the first thing
this morning. Well when 10:00 am came Cheri called to find out when they would
be here. She was told that they just left and would be here in an hour. So much
for the first thing in the morning. I guess their day starts later than mine. Mike
and his brother Hank stopped by to see the cabinets and counter top. They got
here just a few minutes after the counter top guys. Long story short the
counter tops are in and look great. We had to wait until after 4:00 pm before
we could put anything on the counters and I have to wait until tomorrow to do
the sink plumbing because of the weight of the garbage disposal. So after they
left we went to Lowe’s to get the plumbing materials I will need tomorrow. Then
we looked at stoves and refrigerators as they have a big sale on them right
now. On the way home we stopped at Publix’s and picked up our Thanks Giving
diner. It is a precooked turkey with all the trimmings. All that has to be done
tomorrow is cook the turkey for two hours and heat up the rest of the meal and
we will be ready for a Thanks Giving dinner.
