My Day

Monday, December 7

8:00 to 8:30 a.m. – Exercised at Curves

8:40 to 9:15 a.m. – Visited my Aunt Anna Mary at Pleasant View Retirement Community where she is receiving therapy for a broken arm.  She has been there since October, and hopes to go home by this weekend, so this may be the last of my Monday morning visits to her.

9:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. – Set up a newsletter for Chaplain Jay & Karen LeRette, (Rochelle, Illinois), and prepared 210 newsletters to be mailed for Murray & Audrey Scott (Hamilton, Ontario, Canada), Director of TFC’s Overseas Ministry.

3:15 p.m. – Took the Scott’s newsletter to the post office.

3:30 to 4:30 p.m. – Got my once-a-month deep tissue massage with Carla. In recent months I have been purchasing prepared meals that she and her girls are making to raise funds for a future missions project. 

5:00 p.m. – I had just put the one meal in the oven when our son Jere called and asked what I was making for supper. I told him that I had just put a pasta dish in the oven.  He said that Kristen made too many turkey pies, and would we like two – delivered. “Yes,” I said, “I can put this one back in the freezer.” (Now I have two meals in the freezer for a future busy day.)

I was glad that my other meal had not yet begun baking. The individual turkey pies were delicious – incredibly delicious.

She also sent a half dozen peppermint cookies along for dessert. I know, I know, you only see five – I had already eaten one.

Oh, the benefits of living only one mile from someone who loves to cook.

Thanks Jere and Kristen.
