Games

The Christmas tree is decorated, the wreath is on the door, the candles are in the windows, and the lighted star is on the barn. The refrigerator has been cleaned out and the pantry is full. Now is the time for some serious baking. Today, it will be chocolate gingerbread squares. Let the games begin!

The Refrig

My least favorite kitchen job is cleaning the refrigerator. So, I put it off, and off and off! Today, was the clean up day. No more excuses, no more delays, I did it!! Amazingly, I only found one undefinable substance growing on top of some leftovers. It was clear in the back of the refrig. […]

I will

I will say “Merry Christmas” to every one I speak to. The check out lady at the grocery store, the man who picks up our trash, my neighbors and friends, the people I see at church, they will all hear it. Last year, we bought a new sofa at a local department store. I said […]

Thanksgiving Things.

Thanksgiving is near. I have been pondering about all my “thankful things”. There are so many, they are impossible to count. People seem to think that the national debt is a big issue. My debt to the Lord is much, much, larger. Thinking that it is better to focus on what we are thankful for, […]
