Well,
we still have power.
We are under a Winter Weather Advisory
until 6 AM.
*
I am hoping and praying that the power stays on
this time...
It's cold out there and we
don't have non-electric heat!
I was struggling a bit earlier today
feeling a bit sad/mopey.
I fought it and talked to one of my
close friends on the phone
while washing dishes
and that really helped a great deal.

And I made two beautiful table settings,
first one for lunch...
I had left over tomato soup...
read a bit more of the biography on
St. Augustine...
it's a very long book...
*
Also started another Madeleine L'Engle novel...
It started snowing in the later afternoon...
I cleaned, cleared and reset the table for dinner,
using my new beautiful red Ukrainian table cloth...
I love it!
It's so cherry!
Mr. Husband has a bit of a cold
so we had soup for dinner...
it was an enjoyable simple dinner...
It was left over soup that
I had frozen so it was an easy meal to prepare...
Mr. Husband patiently waiting to eat
while I take the last pictures :)
I'm really loving making a beautiful table
and using my bowls and the new blue sauce boat
I was given as well. :)
It was pretty good soup!
The snow is coming down
and the wind gusting...
I really hope we don't lose power again
and that every one's power that is still out
is soon regained!
It is really getting cold out now...
I find a clean table to be so calming...
I lit more candles in prayer
for everyone in the storm...
Our little tree outside our window;
Mr. Husband and I note it's progress
as the season and storms are
going on...
so far it is staying strong...
*
I read once that trees are strengthened by storms
(within reason of course)
and that storms can do the same for us if
we let them...
*
I am glad for God's mercy,
that He promises to never leave us
and for the Mother of God's protection...
*
Prayers requested and
thank you so much
for your kind comments and your
prayers during this crazy weeks of weather...
they mean so much to me!
*
Glory to God for all things!
*
I hope to have power in the morning to write here again,
DV (God Willing)....

I'm so thankful you and your husband are safe. I thought of you a lot during Sandy and wanted to e-mail to see if you were alright, but I figured you didn't have internet.
Be well!
Elizabeth, I have those same bowls except in blue! I love them, especially since blue & white dishes are kind of my Thing.
Thanks so much Mat C! :) Maureen - the bowls I have are white and blue - perhaps they showed up as black and white?? I love them!!! Mine are made in Japan, ironstone double phoenix...
How did it go last night? I hope you didn't lose power again. Cold and slushy November weather can be so disheartening. When I went to bed, we had sleet melting on contact, but this morning there were several inches of wet slush and we were sliding treacherously down the driveway. So glad it will be warming up tomorrow. (My kids, on the other hand, were dancing with glee this morning, and hoping it stays cold enough to keep that coating of snow until they are able to play in it.)
