It is Sunday, December 15, 2013 and John and I are working feverishly to get ready for Christmas!
Last year we had a wonderful Christmas with our daughter and son-in-law in Tennessee.

But this year it is our year for most of our family to come here for Christmas and I am almost ready.
Right now we are decorating and I am making food to freeze so that I don't have to cook much when
people are here.  Our tree is up and almost decorated.  It is the prettiest one we have about ever had.
Not one bad side.

John has the manger scene up.  This Weds we go to Newark to pick up our son and daughter-in-law
and meet our new granddaughter, Emma, who are coming from Beersheva Israel.  Our youngest son
and daughter-in-law are also hopefully coming from IN with their son and daughter.  We have never met Malachi who was born on Oct. 29 and have not seen Evie since last June so we are eager.

Then our middle son and daughter-in-law will be here from Houghton, NY. with their six year old son, Ezra, and three-year-old daughter, indigo.  So it will be a busy time and we have tons of snow right now!

After the new year, we will pack up and go to Florida.  John is publishing a blog called www.Adozenseconds.com and also has two books out, A Pillar of Pepper and other Bible Rhymes
and also Earth Is Not Alone.  I have just begun writing again after not writing for four years.

I am praying that the real meaning of Christmas will be in my heart as I celebrate the birth of Christ this year and thank the Lord for all of His Blessings!  PTL!!!

FASCINATING ( to me and hopefully YOU) INFO

Happy Day after Valentine's Day...February 15, 2013!

John and I had a wonderful Valentine's Day beginning with breakfast out and ending with a great
dinner and party here in Grand Isle where we live.  The decorations were beautiful and the food was good and we were together (thankfully) after all these years.  Speaking of that, John has a new blog that I find fascinating (and not because he's related to me) but actually full of interesting info and it is time efficient.  It is supposed to take only 12 seconds a day altho' you can go deeper. 

You can find this AMAZING site at www.ADozenSeconds.com -----try it and see if you don't want to thank me:)  I particularly liked yesterday's post called PERFECT WEDDING.  If you read it all the way to the end, you will see why.  But maybe you would prefer today's post which is called LOST DAYS.  It is very intriguing.  And informative...are you hooked yet? 

If you know me, you know that my blog in the past has been hit or miss and every time I have gotten
on lately, I have said that now I will restart and be faithful.  This time I will not say anything and see
if I keep it up.  I'm planning to blog every few days ...I am starting this again because I have not done
any writing for a few years and now I am beginning that again too!  We shall see!  We have now been in Florida since the end of December and I have gotten a lot of the painful things out of the way (except for taxes) and have to admit that it has been a really special time this year.
