On Tuesday, Nanaw and Chase took Mama to Dobbs because her check engine light was on, and she needed an oil change. Dobbs said it was her head gasket again, and she should take it to the Jeep dealer because they had fixed it last year. So Mama and Nanaw went to the Jeep dealer, and then Nanaw brought Mama back to her house so Mama could borrow the Escape so she'd have a car. It was cleaning lady day so Chase and Nanaw went to hang out at the library because Nanaw's basement is a holy mess. But they got tired of sitting in the library and Nanaw asked Mama if they could come to Chase's house, and she said yes. On Wednesday, New Year's Eve, Mama told Nanaw what the menu was for the evening's festivities: "Besides the shrimp you bring, we'll have bacon wrapped smokies, meatballs, salami/ cheese tray, chicken/cheese dip, and party pizza ryes. I’ll pick up pretzel bites and chicken wings Wednesday. If you like the party pizza stuff I can just have some off to the side not on bread." Other guests included Uncle Will-Bill, Aunt Becca and Uncle Stan. Chase stayed up till midnight, and Nanaw, Aunt Becca and Uncle Stan left right after midnight. Uncle Will-Bill left about nine because it's such a long drive home to Silex. Nanaw had a good time hanging out with Chase and watching him play all kinds of things. On Thursday, New Year's Day evening, Mama, Daddy, and Chase went to dinner at Miller's on Main, which used to be Reifschneider's. Chase and Mama had French onion soup and Daddy had a Reuben sandwich. Nanaw came to visit in the evening and brought Planet Earth Bingo to play with Mama and Chase. Each of them won one game, which was really great. On Friday, Mama and Daddy worked at home, and Chase came over to Nanaw's house. They had a wonderful day together because Chase was in a really good mood and that made Nanaw very happy. Mama forgot to send Chase's leftover onion soup over for his lunch but that was okay because he'd decided he wanted chicken lo mein. He played on his phone and on Nanaw's computer. He also did his AR reading. He's almost done with the book Notorious by Gordon Korman/ Nanaw is hoping he finishes it by Sunday so they can study the study materials so Chase can take the AR test next week and get some more AR points before the quarter ends on Wednesday, January 7.
