This was a grand weekend. We got to have two of the grandkids for the night while Mom and Dad went to their After Christmas Party. Then there was the quiet of a wonderful Sunday with just quiet and relaxation. It's hard to beat that! After you visit here please visit Peggy at The Simple Woman and journey along the path of life we all share.
~~Outside my window...it is dark and very COLD!!
~~I am thinking...how much fun it will be to surprise Rhonda for her birthday.
~~I am thankful for...family and friends who support and encourage me.
~~From the kitchen...leftover turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, and gravy.
~~I am wearing...red and white striped nightgown
~~I am creating...a lap afghan (knitting from one of Mom's patterns)
~~I am going...to Mass and pray for the Holy Innocents.
~~I am reading...Ringing in Murder by Kate Kingsbury (A Christmas Mystery)
~~I am hoping...the weather continues to be kind to us.
~~I am hearing...mostly quiet. It's 5:00 a.m. and I'm the only one up. Duchess is snoring at my feet.
~~Around the house...Christmas lights still brighten the darkness and the glow of the manger continues.
~~One of my favorite things...is watching old movies. I might just have a Charlie Chan Marathon. All are welcome!
~~A few plans for the rest of the week: 1) Finally working on the pictures taken on vacation this summer and putting them into a book. 2) Make sure the laundry is done. 3) Pack for visit to St. Louis and the celebration of Rhonda's 60th birthday. 4) Starting the New Year with no resolutions.
~~Here is picture thought I am sharing...
