Good afternoon.
Playing catch up again so prayers for all those who need them.
The tea went well and my raffle table and 50/50 raised $1,000. I was happy with that. I won a couple of things including the voucher for 2 tickets to Sight and Sound for Moses. I really wanted the Longwood Gardens passes but someone else won them. My grandson put $5 worth of chances in the Cabot Creamery Cheese gift box and was thrilled he won it. The boy LOVES Cheese.
After the tea we headed off to Lancaster for Ella's 14th Birthday dinner at Shady Maple. I told her no more dinners. I got sick last year after the dinner there and again this year. Then I woke up with severe vertigo. I literally was walking into walls I was so off balance so I had to skip church. Thankfully catching 4 more hours sleep helped quite a bit. It did mean I missed a meeting after church but I didn't really want to go to it. We are looking at having a daycare take over some space and I have serious concerns about it, but I have been outvoted. I am tired of the prayers for money every week. I know that churches need money to run but the constant prayers for it remind me of my old church. We opened a preschool there that split the church in half, Then the constant prayers for money and the stock market. That church folded and I can see the same thing happening here. That and the constant snide comments directed at me by our priest are wearing me down. He has issues with my going to DIsney. I don't think it's any of his business what I do with my money and time.
Today was the presurgical consult for my husband's upcoming eye surgery and I was not in the mood for the condescending attitude of the consultant. I understand that HE is having the surgery but I am the one who needs to take care of him and every question I asked was given an eyeroll look and fill in the blank answer. I have serious concerns because he is on blood thinners. My question was because she said there is a risk of bleeding. The answer was it's a bloodless surgery. So why is there a risk? She looked at me like I am an idiot. Seriously these people need to fix their attitudes when dealing with people.
I wish I could get the video of Ella and her 2 friends at the tea performing "This Christmas". She had me in tears from laughing but I was so proud of her. She has an outgoing personality and did such a great job with the song.
I am off to do some Christmas Shopping and spend my $25 rewards at Best Buy. Going to look for some movies that I'll never watch. I am horrible about that. I buy them and then forget about them. Hope you all have a great rest of your day.

Taz, what an awful after dining experience. Please don't go back to that restaurant! 
for your husband's upcoming eye surgery. A condescending, unkind, attitude should absolutely NOT ever be how anyone, especially a prospective surgery patient, be treated! Happy Birthday to Ella and how grateful I am God gave the two of you one another. Thank you and your husband for making such a kind and loving difference to her. Feel better, my friend!
I also am very food sensitive that way. Heavier foods also don't sit right with me. I've come to much better appreciate during the pandemic making my preferred very simple and basic meals at home rather than going out. Healthier minus the grease! I am glad you do enjoy Shady Maples breakfasts. You and Ellie will have a wonderful time next Summer with 
went well, Carol and that you got yourself a cheesecake treat, too! Dad enjoys cheesecake, too.
. She's up to 4 lb, 11 oz. so she is definitely gaining weight, she just needs to get the whole bottle thing down.
. Stopped at Meijer to get some groceries. I said I wasn't going to shop there anymore because I think their prices are higher and their coupons aren't as good as Kroger's are but I did. I wanted to stop at TJ Maxx to get a coat for Mitchell's girlfriend but I was tired of stopping places for the St. Nick gifts, I just wanted to go home. The coat can wait until Friday. I work the next 2 weekends and going up by Mia after work each day limits my shopping time.
!!!! I was trying to talk a friend of mine into getting one of those breeds but she decided on a French Bulldog. He's cute but I'm more of a big dog person.
I hope it is a decent day for you. It’s not raining (yet), so that’s good! I imagine you must’ve had some snowy birthdays over the years! 
And you. It’s hard to live with someone hacking like that and not get what they have, too. Stay well. 
for all in need. 
makes me smile, too, Pea! Thank you for sharing and always for your extra prayers for my dad and me. Dad just called me from Ralph's. He should be home shortly from some quick 
and doing 
He wasn't coughing very much when I got up this morning, thank God. His cough always seems at its very worst when he gets up after a nap or when we are watching 
after we both have taken our bedtime showers and are relaxing for the night. So far, I'm still just fine, a little chilly this morning in LA but it is colder this week out here. I did enjoy my small mug (less than 7 ounces) of hot chocolate this morning. Dad is not a tea person generally except when he's sick. He said he had some hot tea even before I got up. He also yesterday bought himself some hot apple cider mixes. I'll stick to my Kroger Brand hot chocolate from Ralph's.
you posted, so cheerful! They remind me of how I did get to hold a big bunch of balloons at Disneyland once on my birthday while my dad took my picture. That was fun. We’ll have to do that again sometime for any celebratory reason. I also once took a picture of dad on his birthday holding a stuffed animal Mickey that held a birthday cake in his hands. That was a fun way to capture an extra birthday memory without having to purchase the toy. Extra prayers you are able to join an eventual Quacker Candlelight viewing out here. That would mean so much to me to get to do with all of you.
, Easyas. Dad and I also still write things down on both
and lists.
, Lynn. How awful. I do love your Disney pictures, especially of the parade, too! I did so enjoy Disneyland's 
. Continuing Mia prayers
