December 1-15, 2024 Preparations Underway for Christmas

1-Sun-Today was pretty much more of the same. We watched football, took a walk and worked on the Quilt. I was cutting and lay out pieces for the quilt. Supper was cube steak, french fries, salad and berries.


2-Mon-Today we were up and around. We went to the VA in OKC for an appointment with the pain management doctor. Then we met up with Kristi at Bubba’s 33 for lunch. After that we headed home. At home we did some work around the house and rested. Super was a hamburger, potato, salad and berries.

3-Tues-We had our breakfast and watched some TV. Then we made the bed and got dressed after showers. Then we worked on the quilt. We had supper at La Macarena with Linda  and Hazel.

4-Wed-We got around and went to Stillwater after completing our morning routine. Our first stop was at Lowe’s where we got two presents. Then we went to Walmart for groceries. We returned home and put away our stuff. Steve removed screens from three of the windows. This is a part of the repairs from the storm. The insurance is paying for new screens on all the windows. But they are hard to remove, so Steve is doing that. 

5-Thu-A pretty routine day here. I added more strips to the quilt. Steve helps me and that makes the work go faster. Supper was sloppy joes, french fries, salad and berries.

6-Fri-We had a big announcement from Logan at Thanksgiving. He and Cielo are getting married. Today is the big day. He wanted Steve to take pictures, so we got ready  and left for OKC. It took a while to find the Courthouse Chapel. We had to pay for parking because it’s downtown OKC. We are not used to paying for parking. Steve took some pictures, then we went to Bricktown Brewery to eat. He wanted to have pictures taken at the Oklahoma Art Museum- but there was a sign that said private property and a chain was up. So we moved the picture taking to the Myriad Gardens downtown OKC. The pictures turned out nice!














7-Sat-Today’s project was putting up the Christmas Tree. We also wrapped some presents and watched football. Supper was Chicken enchiladas, salad and berries.

8-Sun-Well today got off to a slow start. After lunch Steve took off some more screens. I wrapped some presents. Then we went on the Christmas Tour of Homes. That was nice. Our town sells tickets for this tour. It is a fundraising project for the lights downtown. Then homeowners decorate their houses and people who have bought tickets, get to tour the homes. We had leftovers for supper.

9-Mon-We were up a little earlier today because we are headed to OKC for Steve’s annual MS appointment. We left at 8:00 AM and arrived a little after 9:00 AM. We waited in the parking lot a while then went inside. We got called back and Steve had all his tests/exam. When we got  home we rested. These appointments take a a bit out of us. Supper was from Braum’s, a hamburger and fries. 

10-Tue-Today we had another appointment at Stillwater. We went to get Steve’s Orthotics ordered at Stillwater. Then we went shopping at Alto and Shoe Sensations. Yes, I got another pair of shoes - Skecher - Go Walk. We also went to Hobby Lobby for the remained of quilting supplies I needed. We ate lunch at Chic FaIl A. Then there was a stop at Walmart before we went home. We put away all the stuff and rested. I attended the book club tonight and then we joined Linda  and Hazel for supper. 

11-Wed-Today we did all the routine things. Then we paid bills, answered emails, and caught up on Quicken. Steve worked on getting the window screens off. I also ordered a new Champ VA Card. Super was chili, chips and berries. 

12-Thu-We were up at 7:30, we did our usual things this morning. Then we wrapped presents and worked on the quilt. I did a load of laundry. Steve took off the last two screens. I also had a haircut today.

13-Fri-Well today is Friday the 13th. I hope everything goes OK for everyone. Today it was back to work on the quilt. We first measured and sewed the quilt batting and positioned the tops and backing. Then we started tying today. That went on from 10:45 to 12:30. Then after lunch it was more tying 1:30 - 4:00. I made an easy supper of ham and eggs.

14-Sat-After getting around today we were off to Walmart for supplies. Then it was back home to work on the quilts. There was measuring pinning, sewing, tying, etc. Supper was chicken parmesan, couscous, mixed vegetables and berries. 

15-Sun-Today we worked on tying the quilts. We actually finished one quilt and worked on the other one. Later we watched Dallas finish a football game. Supper was roast, potatoes, carrots and berries.
