Today...

Christmas candle holder and Nativity Icons

are gracing our home again this year.

*

I hope to work on making tea today.

It's amazing how things like laundry pile up.

I am slowly getting used books in the mail that Mr. Husband 

is giving me...I have dreams of continuing to build 

community where I am and having kids read 

the books I am slowly but steadily collecting.

I had a friend with a two year old over the other week

and it was such a joy just to see him play

and look at books.

*

Today I hope to go grocery shopping.

Once again, I am low on sugar...

*

I am getting close to being done on 

the textured blanket;

then I will have to do the boarder.

*

I am so grateful for my life

and for God's mercy.
