I was up at 5:20 this morning.  My knee is better but still not 100%.
I am going to have a busy day. After saying my morning prayer I added some things to my to do list. One of them was to call Millie Scott. She left my lesson yesterday with a very painful pinched nerve in her shoulder. I asked how she was doing and she said better, but it was still bothering her. Millie is the type of person that offers to take dinner to anyone who is in need. I told her I wanted to bring dinner to her and Jerry tonight.  At first she resisted saying she didn't want to put anyone out, but I wore her down. I told her we would be there sometime between 5 and 6.

 I spent most of the day in the kitchen. I put 7 pork chops in the crockpot covered in gravy and set them on low to cook for six hours. I found a partial bag of old rolls in the freezer and set them out to rise. No guarantees. I started making pumpkin bread then realized I had no pecans. James had just left for town and asked me if I needed anything. I said no but I called him and asked if he would pick up a bag of pecans. He said he would. He ended up spending over $37 because he remembered his kitties needed some food.

It was over an hour before James got home, so until I could finish the pumpkin bread, I worked on making more mashed potatoes and Longhorn green beans. 

When James returned I chopped up some pecans and put them in two of the loaves of pumpkin bread.  I wanted one without pecans so the Scott's have a choice. The third loaf with pecans is for us. 

When all the food was done, I packed it away in foil and James put it in the car and we headed for the Scott's. When we arrived they had company. There house is basically one room and it was a little crowded so we didn't stay long. Millie picked the pumpkin bread loaf with pecans. 

I was exhausted when I got home and my knee was bothering me. James told me to go relax and watch a Christmas movie while he cleaned the kitchen. I love my husband!
