I’ve been in warp speed since Thanksgiving, so sorry about the blog updates & “ponderings” not being consistent.<\/p>\n
Did some Christmas baking today, and attempted to decorate the tree—discovering half dead light strands put an end to getting that project done:(<\/p>\n
Our grand puppy Poppy arrived yesterday & haven’t even had time to see her–that’s bad:( Seth & Kelley probably think I’m not excited. At least Skye & “buds” have been over & taken photos of the cute Westie baby girl.<\/p>\n
Need a longer weekend. I love to wrap gifts but can’t seem to fit it in, between cleaning & all the house stuff.<\/p>\n
Would LOVE to have blown\/raked leaves today; a perfect day to be outside here! High of 68 degrees:) Didn’t have time:( <\/p>\n
Keith’s trying to get our Christmas letter designed & typed, and I’m even thinking it may not be a priority to get one out this year.<\/p>\n
Have found Holiday music online this year, so am listening to some nice Christmas streaming music without commercials! And from a person who LOVES Christmas music, the radio stations are playing the same songs over & over–not good.<\/p>\n
Have missed traveling to Pinehurst & seeing my mama:(<\/p>\n
Have been reading “The Screwtape Letters”, finally! Makes me think!
Also beginning to read “same kind of different as me”, by Hall & Moore.<\/p>\n
Celebrated with longtime friends an old friend’s college graduation tonight. He’s in his 60’s so this is something he’s worked on (& off) for years. What an achievement!! Hurray for Ralph!<\/p>\n
Skye will wind up her next to last semester at Wake Tech this coming week. She has exams & papers to write. And hopes to get “an invitation” from Appalachian State in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
Christmas will be here in 2 weeks & 3 days–whoa!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
