Christmas and A New Year

I got to Nashville on the 23rd and had lots of special time with all the kids and babies. 


We had our Christmas as a family on Christmas Eve.



Each family got our individual attention.







We made crafts together with these. 


 And played games with these. 




Christmas night we gathered with our best friends, my daughter-in-law's parents. Yes, we are thankful that we get to share our grandchildren. 



Then I had a sleepover with these two. 

The day I was supposed to go home, I woke up with aches, cough and fever. I tested positive for Covid and had to drive a 7 hour trip by myself. The Mr. had gone home the day before. 

A couple of days later, most of the family, extended family and close neighborhood friends that had gone ice skating with our kids came down with it.  I've been recovering and we're all on the mend. This is the second time my daughter has had it, the 4th or 5th quarantine. 

It helped that it snowed for them near the end of the quarantine. The kids were climbing the walls.






Night before last they got 6 more inches. 





So, their year began with them enjoying lots of outside activity, while I worked on getting the booth ready for Valentine's Day. 






I still have holes to fill in but we'll get there. 

Happy New Year to you all! I'll catch up with you soon.

    Bonnie, the verse on your recent post, "All things" is one of my favorite verses, and thank you for letting me hear it again today. It is a reminder to me that all will work out for the good. I'm so sorry for the passing of your family. May God be with you and your family during this time of sorrow. I loved the picture of your grandgirls in their pj's. Nel bought me some pj's just like that for Christmas, and they are so soft and warm. Looks like you had a wonderful Christmas, and may this new year bring you so many good things, Bonnie.

Spring into Spring

Anyone else ready to Spring Forward?  Oh my goodness! Just enough nip in the air to feel like an early Spring day. The trees around Georgia are beginning to bud. I've missed my babies so much the past couple of weeks but this afternoon  I feel a little lighter.  It will be Easter weekend before I get to Nashville but I found this sweet little idea to make with the kids. We can go on a scavenger hunt and each Grand can create their own unique design.  I've not done much in my booth for Spring. I had a yard sale and this is how the carport still looks. I may have made $40. Ugh. It was cloudy day so, oh well. I'll price it all and put it in the booth this weekend.  The littles are doing ok. Our youngest GRAND girl, Claire has to wear a patch for a weak eye.  I think she's gonna be fine. She certainly daddy's girl.  She was excited about going to his office.  Our oldest GRAND girl, Cora, made the All-star team in basketball. She's a natural.  She...

God Said Move

In The Summer of last year, I began to feel a restlessness in my spirit. I sensed that things were about to change.  One night in October, I had closed my eyes and was not asleep when I saw in my spirit a sign in the front yard. It was a red, white and blue sign like a Remax Realty sign. I heard the word, "Move." I knew it was the Holy Spirit speaking to me.  David had been unhappy living in the big city. He spent most of his time on the highways and interstates around Middle TN. He traveled anywhere from 375-500 miles a day. He talked of moving back home, and I always resisted. So, I said, "Okay, Lord. I'm not sure what this means. If it's means we will actually move, I'm willing. If it means, you're moving me spiritually, I'm ready.  The very next day, David said, "I need you to pray about something." I knew what he was going to say and I told him about my dream. He had a job offer. The market was a seller's market. Within a few weeks,...

Is Alcohol Essential?

I'm guessing your world looks pretty much like mine... Social distancing Empty shelves Empty freezers No bread Hamburger meat Chicken breast Alcohol Hand sanitizer Wipes... Oh yeah NO TP. Everyone is going a little cra-cra! Is anyone else having a hard time not touching her face? I may even pick my nose. How hard is it to pump gas without touching anything? About the third day into social distancing, and having to work because I am "essential," I went to buy hand sanitizer. Of course, there was none. I have the recipe. Aloe vera gel...check Essential oil...check Alcohol After work, I stopped at 3 places. By this time, I'm feeling exasperated. In the pharmacy section... because that's where it should be, right? But what do I know?... "Sir, do you have any alcohol?" I was directed to Aisle 12, "Right behind you there!" Here I go.  Yelp.  Didn't give it a second thought. Be-bopping right along. ...
