I loved all the decorations around the house (already started taking them down today *shrug* not the tree though, not til January 6th) Emily sent me a beautiful little rosebush in a cardinal pot, a cardinal wind chime, and a pretty ring. But even more special, she messaged me "Merry Christmas, Mama" which nearly brought me to tears.  Jeff and I visited his mother and brother early in the day and then went to my Dad's house to cook dinner. We put together a feast. Even my son came and ate at the table with us. Very blessed.  Over Christmas, most of Jeff's family came down with Influenza A (it's going around in this area, hospitals full of it). His older brother then got bronchitis and pneumonia with it. Well, this morning we found out that he had a stroke and fell in the shower. He's currently in the hospital undergoing treatmen...

Christmas day will be rainy and close to 50 degress. UGH. 55 the day after. The rest of the week is in the mid to upper 30s .I SHOULD NOT COMPLAIN! I will be able to get some walks in! I am super happy about that.  ***  Thinking about  *** All the last minute details for Christmas. I'm waiting on a few gifts to arrive, which will need to be wrapped. I'm working 3.5 days this week. Jeff will be here Tuesday, spending time with a friend Friday night, ...

I still got quite a bit done this weekend though.                                        *** The weather in my neck of the woods***   The weather is strange. This morning the "feels like" weather was -6, yet in a few days we are going to be 45.  You never know what you are going to find!  ***  Thinking about  *** Finishing up my Christmas shopping. Finances. 2026 things and stuff.    *** What I am wearing ***  A black T-shirt and yoga pants. Warm wool socks.  *** Books I'm reading ***    Currently: Still nothing really.  Bible: Acts Reading Plans: I'd just like to read again :(    *** What's on my tv ***   YouTube - A l...

You can visit Sandra and join HHM HERE  *** Past week's pondering*** Hello lovely sisters. I'm typing this up on Sunday with my furry friend Ollie curled up at my feet and snow falling softly out my window. I had a long work week, but I got the Christmas tree up and the house decorated. I also went to my local Salvation Army and found a few treasures for a dollar apiece! They choose a color each week and on Friday & Saturday, that color is 5 items for $5! I went in to find a warm, soft scarf and left with a cartload! I have a bunch I'm decluttering and donating as well, a box of women's clothing (some still with tags, I'm terrible at returning things) several purses, and three bags of men's clothes from Jeff.  My sister is having an ultrasound this week to see how badly damaged her liver is. This is the same thing we went through over 7 years ago - but I am not sure if she will be able to bounce back this time. The entire family is under a blanket of gloom, ...

  You can visit Sandra and join HHM HERE  *** Past week's pondering*** Hello beautiful sisters. I pray you are all doing well.  Jeff was here visiting last week for Thanksgiving, and everyone had a wonderful time. My Dad was so happy and he is just so fond of Jeff. It warms my heart that my soon-to-be husband and my Dad get along so well. We also spent an evening with his mom and brother. We had a lovely Polish dinner (stuffed cabbage, dumplings, cabbage, etc so good!) and a nice time talking about family traditions, music, decorating, and future plans.  Jeff made it back Up North safely, praise God, and will be back in a few weeks for Christmas. I believe we should have our wedding date set before the ball drops on NYE! We've had to put it off for one thing after another - mostly personal and family health/illness/surgical concerns! But, we've realized there will be no end to those, so we are going to move ahead with our plans of a small, family church wedding....
