Hi GeeBee, I went to Hickory Farm for a few extra gifts and I have never seen so many people in the Mall. You couldn’t walk. Went to the Music Store for a gift certificate and to the Dollar Tree for a few decorative bags.

Besides all that, my nephew is in from Tampa and called to take me to lunch with them today. His mom is the SIL I mention occasionally (we live very close). He also wanted me to go to dinner tonight but everyone was running late so I cancelled that out. We weren’t going until 8 and after all my running around, I just was exhausted. He truly understood, he is such a sweetheart! Hope you had a good day.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!

Dear God, who suffered
torment, agony and death upon the Cross
to free our souls from the chains of iniquity;
protect and defend our troops.
Guide them in the performance of
their Duties.
Strengthen them to endure hardship,
danger, and deprivation in
Your service.
Let their efforts free the people
of Iraq from the chains of terror
and slavery, foster a lasting peace
in the region, and bring all to a
greater share in Your mercy.
Amen.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!




Amazing Grace

by John Newton


Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, .
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

Thank YOU for the ornament! It’s beautiful and is really holding up! Looks as good as the day you gave it to me.

A Vermont town whose name I missed held a special event that impressed a lot of people. They held and outdoor luncheon with weather in the teens (13-18º) to raise money for the homeless and get a bit of a feeling about what it’s like to be homeless and outdoors this time of year. Donors and attendees were impressed.

Cardinals only started staying here for winters about 4 years ago.

I had to move a red swing-arm lamp when a particular aggressive male kept trying to attack it.

Yup, I’d just bought the lamp and turned it on. Didn’t take long for the cardinal to notice and then he began throwing himself at the window. It looked like he was hurting himself so I removed the lamp right away. Fortunately there was a similar white lamp in another room that I traded it for and Mr. Cardinal finally calmed down.

Thanks! It was thrilling to see them at the feeders. They even perched the window and stared inside from time to time!

:) Soon it will be time for us to don our New Year's Eve party dresses we wore last year at the Finest. :) (still have yours? I'll be posting it again anyway.) :)

Which reminds me, yorkie & gg, if you'd like a 'doll' of yourself, let me know your haircolor & 'style' - long, medium or short, for instance - and eye color. I know gg's hair is very long and you wear it in braids, but we may have to make an exception for a New Year's Eve formal - and get you out of jeans & braids for the party. :)

What a great idea. And BRRRRRRR!

I have to agree with you and Lori - that beautiful picture of those beautiful little girls also remind me of Nan and Maggie. Beautiful framing, Meg!
