Greetings, Dear Ladies! Happy Monday and Merry Christmas Eve Eve! 🎄
It's been a long day (week, month, year...you name it and it's been long), but I'm determined to get this post out before midnight! 😣
So much has happened this week that I hardly know where to begin, so I will just hit the highlights.
On Monday we had ice and snow. I worked around here just trying to get caught up and get prepared for the next round of holiday happenings.
On Tuesday John and I ran to town to get bakings supplies and other things needed to finish up holiday baking.
On Wednesday I presented two programs at our local library and baked a ton of cookies to be divided between friends, neighbors, extended family members, and co-workers. I delivered the goodies to the recipients on my way to the Christmas party at work on Thursday.
I worked Friday, but was off Saturday. John and I ran errands, visited Pat at the nursing home, finished up the last of the Christmas shopping for us (15 items each at the Dollar Tree...what fun!!!), and took a couple of our granddaughters to watch the Living Nativity Pagent at the Oakton United Methodist Church. It is an outdoor presentation that includes live animals and the cast does a great job of bringing the story of Jesus' birth to life right before your very eyes! This was their 62nd year of putting on the performance! Wow! 🌟
Enough about last week! l need to get right on into this week's post.
Right now I am...
... enjoying a cup of hot tea while working furiously on this post.
On the breakfast plate...
... I don't remember having anything this morning before taking off for the day...other than a cup of hot tea, of course!
The weather...
... Gorgeous!!! Today it was sunny with afternoon temperatures in the 60's. 🌞 The next few days don't look bad at all...especially when considering that it's late December! 😲
On the menu this week...
... still trying to catch up on the temperature afghan. I'm only a few days behind now.
Prayer requests...
Until Next Time...

Scripture passage...

- Pat - she was in the hospital again this week (ICU) for a couple of days and, now, on top of everything else, has been diagnosed with respitory failure. She has been placed on hospice and fell twice yesterday. Please continue to remember her in your prayers. Thanks!
Well, Ladies! That's it for this week! I pray that each and every one of you have a beautiful week ahead and a very Merry Christmas! 💗
Until Next Time...
