| Christmas Day rain! |
Our
Christmas celebrations were very laid back & simple this year. We attended our church's
Christmas Eve Service. And on Christmas day My Grandparents joined us
for dinner. Instead of a white Christmas we had a wet and rainy one! (Some
thunder too!) All very odd for December 25th in Minnesota! I was tempted
to go puddle jumping! But I refrained myself from such frivolities as I
had guests to entertain!😉

Holly and I made this Gingerbread
house one December afternoon! |

| Nativity from my Great great Grandparents. |
I spent most of my "Christmas vacation" feeling very ill! (Thus my quiet blog over the holidays.) 😔 I am thankfully doing much better now!
It feels great to be able to think coherent thoughts again! In all of
my life I strive to have a heart to learn. One thing I learned/observed
in myself while I was under-the-weather was... I say a lot of worthless things!
When I lost my voice I
found that it was normally a good thing that I wasn't able to say the
things that I was thinking! Now that I have my voice back I am challenged to be more mindful of the words of my mouth! Just because I have
the ability to speak doesn't mean I should speak! I am reminded of the
verse in Colossians 4:6 "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man."
I am
growing a new appreciation for the winter months. Though I am still not
in love with the freezing cold... I do enjoy having more time to devote
to homemaking! More time to clean, organize, decorate & bake!
Yesterday I started cleaning out our guest room/sewing room, which for
the last several months has been the catch-all room! (If we didn't know
where something went, it went to that room!) As most of my organizing
projects go, I soon was cleaning out a completely different area of the
house from where I had started. Because while cleaning place #1 I ran
across something that should go to place #2 and that is were I stayed
for the remainder of the day! Thus our office got a purging instead!
Accomplishing something -yes- just not exactly what I had planned on
accomplishing in the beginning! So it is off to the guest room again
today! I love organizing... so I am excited! 😁
