I’m sitting here watching an Annie Oakley documentary while writing this post. She was quite a lady!

We had a craft after church! We were supposed to be painting barn quilt squares with a heart pattern. But as usual I went my own direction. I told people that I was a beacon of joy. Ha!

I…have questions…

Christmas time is here… Also, what in the world is going on with the angel’s hair in the top left photo????
Wednesday, November 20th
I ordered some Christmas presents from Feryl Designs & of course bought something for myself. I was so tickled when they arrived and matched the outfit I was planning to wear today!

Someone finally came in for the winter.

Dr. M says that he loves the artwork and the artist, but not that the sunset is happening at 5:30 down in the hollow.

Dr. M is simply the best. Not only is he going to make our green bean casserole for Thanksgiving, but he made one for my church potluck, and he brought it to church the next day. Here it sits, ready to be cooked on Sunday morning.
We’ve almost made it to Thanksgiving. And then it’s a sprint to Christmas. I think SOON I’m going to pull out the gifts I’ve been buying throughout the year & make sure I really have everything - because last year my sister-in-law got the lamest gift EVER. I meant to get her something else, but oh well… Are you ready for Christmas?
I'm going to pretend you didn't ask me that last question.
ReplyDeleteAs I reread my post I realized that I made it sound like *I* was ready for Christmas. I am NOT ready!
DeleteChristmas? Hey -- a little respect for Thanksgiving, please! Of course, the way things have been going, it's going to seem like 15 minutes after T'giving that Christmas arrives. I had this cool idea for an Advent series for Sundays. Have I started? Of course now. And Advent starts exactly three days after Thanksgiving. Whoops!
ReplyDeleteBut I'm ready for Thanksgiving! I've written the prayer for the meal & gotten Dr. M to agree to cook the food. Easy Peasy!
DeleteI'm always ready for christmas because I don't do christmas and scrooge that I am I'm already tired of the incessant christmas music everywhere. though now that my sister has died and she and our brother exchanged gifts while he and I did not I plan of a little colored pencil drawing to frame and send to him. have I started it? no, no I have not.
ReplyDeleteYou have PLENTY of time! I started listening to Christmas music in the car because I'm in the choir again & I need to strengthen my voice & I don't really know other songs well enough to sing all the words. I will FOR SURE be tired of it by the time the 25th comes around!
DeleteYour husband is quite the cook. I'd like to see that casserole after it's baked.
ReplyDeleteI don't think we remembered to take a picture! But he's making it again for Thursday & I'll definitely get one then.
DeleteGlad to see Miss Pinky is warm and safe! Didn't you have another geranium too, or am I making that up? I like the new jewelry with your colorful top!
ReplyDeleteWe lost Ms. Rita the Vermillion Geranium over the summer. We're not sure what happened, but she was declining for a while and then was just gone. We were very sad!
DeleteI think I'm going to wear that same outfit for Thanksgiving with the family today - it's not very fall like, but at least I'll feel good in it.
