I haven't had much time to write lately. I feel like I'm running hither and yon and meeting myself on the return trip. I hope that next week things will begin to slow down a bit. I don't know why everyone thinks everything needs to be done the first week or two of December!
Laura Lately...
I am regaining energy steadily after treatments and surgery.
I've been taking my little dog for walks downtown. I'm trying to teach her not to pull and to be friendlier. She isn't very well socialized, because I worked and drove a lot when she was a pup.
I've been knitting a lot.
I've knit more little hats for a children's clothing ministry.
I finished a sweater for my dog.
I've finished one gift and another will probably be finished by Wednesday.
I've finished one gift and another will probably be finished by Wednesday.
I'm learning fair isle knitting and knitting with double pointed needles.
I'm thinking about joining the Yarn Along at Small Things to encourage myself to take photos of what I'm knitting and reading.
I've been reading Christmas stories and studying Bible Faith by Kenneth Hagin.
We've done a bit of decorating including putting up the tree.
Christmas music on Pandora, YouTube, and Spotify.
Christmas movies on DVD, VHS, and Amazon Prime.
Driving my daughter to play practice, dance, work, and singing performances.
Dishes and laundry.
Writing Christmas cards for the church.
Soups
Prayer
Thanksgiving night we hit a deer and totaled our van. We bought a new-to-us car this weekend. Glad that's over!
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Please pray for my friend Deborah. She is supposed to get married at the end of the month. She was admitted to the hospital, and they did a heart cath Monday. As of Monday night, she didn't know any details yet, but she was feeling badly.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Now I need to start making Christmas for my family.
Happy Christmas!
Be blessed,
Good morning Laura,
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are feeling better!! I am so sorry about your friend and your wreck! Glad no one was hurt!
I need to finish up this week because my family will all be here next weekend! Ten of us! I have made 2 lasagnas, a huge pot of soup, and one batch of cookies for the freezer. I like to spend time with my family when they are here and not be stuck in the kitchen the whole time (though I like to feed them).
I would love to see more pics of what you are knitting!
Have a very blessed Christmas dear one.
Angela
Bless you my friend as you always think of others.
ReplyDeleteYour tree is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThankful you are able to get your walks in. I think those little leash vests help dogs not to pull better than a regular leash. But it seems like a lot of dogs will not stop pulling hard., no matter what. My sons never have. It has been several years! There are probably dog manner videos on you tube. It might be worth a look.
So sorry to hear about the deer, but I am glad you could get another vehicle.
Hopes and prayers for your friend!
Still praying for you, I hope you have a wonderful holiday.
Thank you for prayers for me, they are still needed.
Blessings!
Prayers for your friend.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like all the things you have been doing are wonderful ways to spend days.
Blessings
Laura, I was just commenting to my husband last night that I want to finish the shopping and enjoy the rest of the season. Lots of Christmas music and shows here too.
ReplyDeleteApologies for not keeping in touch...school has me hopping (finals/papers due this week). I haven't sent out one card yet, just been so busy...and don't think I am whining (ok, a little).
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and yours, smiles.
Nice hering from you Laura. we too are trying to get everything done. Today the cards are getting done,the tree is up but not decorated. We are listening to Christmas music and watching many,many Christmas movies,some of the decorations are up. Hope you are feeling good.
ReplyDeleteTake care
Marion
so sorry to hear about your deer accident. Glad everything is okay and you were able to get a new one. Sounds like you are doing great. You will gain more energy soon. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteHoping your friend gets well and you get your Christmas together soon so you have time to rest and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHi Laura - I'm glad to see you are gaining strength after your treatments. I said a prayer for your friend, and I pray you and yours have a blessed and worshi-filled holiday season.
ReplyDeleteHi Gail,
DeleteIt's been awhile. I hope you are doing well. I wish you a very happy Christmas.
Thank you so much for praying for me this through all of this health mess.
God bless you!
Laura
I am glad to hear that you are doing so much better now. I hope no one was injured in your encounter with the deer! Friends of ours here had their carport collapse under the weight of the snow over the weekend and both cars were flattened. It is hard to imagine! Praying for Deborah.
ReplyDeleteYou have been very busy!! Your big tree looks pretty. Hope and pray your friend Deborah is fine and gets to feeling better.
ReplyDeleteGood morning
ReplyDeleteI’m so sorry about the totaled van and your friend Deborah.
The rest of your activities sound really nice though.
Oh sweetie I am so sorry about the van but glad you guys are okay. Take care of yourself. I pray often still for you and always will. Sorry I am so slow visiting. We are trying to adjust yet to the new health issues here.
ReplyDeleteSweet friend, what a blessing to hear you are regaining your energy. And I know what you mean about being busy this time of year. We have 2 Christmas programs coming up, Christmas parties, and Christmas dinners in the next week and a half. I am looking forward to the 21st because that's when it will slow down {{smiles}}
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed Christmas, dear one! Hugs to you!
Busy busy busy! Happy Christmas friend.
