1.  Beautiful morning skies (even if I didn't get a very good picture going down the road).  It really was beautiful.

2.  Time to watch Santa Clause 3 and do some crocheting.

3.  Another beautiful early morning sky.  This one is from my back porch.

4.  This sweet, spoiled puppy.

5.  This sweet, spoiled grandson.  This kid totally has me in love with him.

6.  How could I not love this little face and be so very thankful for him.

7.  I'm so very thankful for this man!  I can't even imagine life without him.

I am so blessed.  What are you thankful for?

It's Tuesday Morning

It's Tuesday morning and the 4 day weekend is over. I'm sitting at the table typing this and eating my oats..  Back to work I go in just a few minutes. I'm almost dressed, my lunch is packed, I've done my morning devotions, so I'm about ready.

We had a nice Christmas. It was different, but nice.  Neither girl was able to come home for our traditional morning gift giving.  We had to mail Kelli's gifts to her because she couldn't come home at all.  Kerri had to work but she got to come to grandma's later in the afternoon where we got to spend some time with her and Colton.  That was very good.   Then we got to FaceTime with Kelli while at Grandma's, so she got to see and talk to everyone. And that was very good.

So Christmas was different and weird but it was still good.  Hope you all had a good one.

I better get to work.  Talk to you soon.

Wednesday Hodgepodge

Click the button above to join in with Joyce for the Wednesday Hodgepodge.


1. What's left to be done on your Christmas to-do list?
Wrap a few gifts and then enjoy!
 

2. The Hodgepodge lands on the first day of winter this year. What's your favorite thing about winter?
I love snow and all that goes with it, as long as I can watch it from inside my nice warm house.
 

3. In what area of your life are you immature? Feel free to elaborate or not.
In thinking I need to have the last word and that's all I'll say about that.
 

4. What was the most (or one of the most) important lessons you learned in 2016?
That there is nothing I can do but trust Jesus.
 

5. It's Fried Shrimp Day...are you a fan? What's your favorite way to eat shrimp? Will there be shrimp somewhere in your holiday feastings?
I love fried shrimp.  I love it fried or grilled best.  Well, I hadn't planned on it, but now that we've talked about it, probably yes.  I can see a trip to Red Lobster coming up.  
 

6. What sound lulls you to sleep?
The sounds of waves on the beach.
 

7. What one word best describes your 2016?
Quite frankly...scary...describes 2016.  But God is still good even and maybe especially during the scary times.
 

8.  Insert your own random thought here.
Monday was Gotcha Day for our puppy.  We've had her for 3 years.  While she can be very aggravating sometimes, I love this little girl.

Merry Christmas to all who pass by here.

It's Monday

It's Monday and For the first time in a while it makes a difference. I went back to work today and actually worked the full shift. Didn't know if I'd have the stamina to do a full shift. But I did it. Not sure if I'll be able to do it tomorrow, but I'll try. And they are so good to me at work and say work if you can, but don't overdo. I am so blessed to have this job. I am so glad to finally be back.

I see the oncologist Friday and find out what's next. I believe it may be tests and if all still clear, it'll be a maintenance plan. 

Thank you God for seeing me through and thank you to all who have prayed and sent words of encouragement to me. That has helped more than you know.
