It’s been overcast all day, and cold, but not unbearable. I’m glad that the predicted snow will not come until Sunday night. That gives me another whole day of not shoveling the driveway! But there were flurries earlier.
When I woke up this morning I realized that my first morning glance usually fell on the fan pulls above me. What more fitting sight than a stained glass angel and a glow in the dark cross?
After a few small chores, including laundry, I decided to make a card for Max, one of my little guys in Sunday School. His mom messaged me that he was sick and they wouldn’t be at church Sunday. Even though I’m far from crafty I constructed a little personal card (inspired by the Christmas Card I got from Skunk Hollow cousin Karen Valyo). I hope he likes it, just because it’s personal. Get well quick, Max!!!
After that I decided to tackle the shed. Nate was asking if he could pick up the space heaters, and I knew they were behind the mower and the deer. So I took a bunch of stuff out, put my stuff in the back along the wall, shoved the reindeer in next, then the mower. There were 2 things that were too heavy for me, but the rest of his ‘stuff’ I lugged up the path and loaded in my car. Figured I might as well take them over since I had them unearthed. When I got down to the house, Nate & Dave were working on the ramp so Piggy could get in and out of the yard by himself. I figured a ramp was a good idea, because as we ‘age’ it will be a benefit for more than just Piggy!
After I put all the Christmas decorations away I realized that I was missing the lights most of all. So I dug around in the lights box and found a small string that would wrap around my lantern. Just the perfect amount of cheer for that corner! Who can’t use a bit of extra cheer?
January 14th – Name the towns you lived in before you were 20. “I lived on the farm until I got married at age 18. We started our married life in Greensburg PA. We only lived there 1 month. We went to a big farm house near Youngwood, PA, where we lived for a year. Rented a small house on the top of Youngwood hill where you were born.” I don’t know where the house in Greensburg was, but I drive past the two Youngwood houses frequently!
Calendar Inspiration – Slow down and take your time – don’t let anyone rush you! You will still reach your destination.
Yesterday’s vacation destination was Seattle Washington. The picture posted was the waterfront at night. Other things to see in Seattle are the city skyline, spray parks & wading pools, Underground history tour.

I wonder if ‘nothing’ means the little fruit filled sheet cakes (that Aunt Joan always made!) or it means to DO nothing! Have a happy Saturday, and God Bless…
Just this SECOND got word that my long-time, crazy, actor friend Bear had a mild heart attack this week! They put a stint in and he is expected to be home by Saturday. Please pray for his healing and continued progress! Thank you!
