Today is a Madison day. I had a marathon stocking session yesterday. I have to cuff 4 more plus the ones Melisa sewed up. I am hoping to get them all in the mail tomorrow and call it a season. I am ready to get this place cleaned up - it is driving me nuts with all the clutter. I am eager to get to quilting and catching up on my Thimbleberries quilt. Clayton, Claire, Jamie, and Nina will be staying over on Thanksgiving night. On Friday it will be Christmas decorating time with the kiddos.

I'm hoping my order of fragrance oils comes in today. I am out of Christmas tree candles and need to get some made. Oh, I also have to make my Advent Candles!

Today's Holiday Cruising mission from Flylady:

Word of the day:
Tuesday of the Thirty-fourth week in Ordinary Time
Today the Church celebrates : Ss Andrew Dung-Lac, priest, and his companions, martyrs (1745-1862)
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 21:5-11.


While some people were speaking about how the temple was adorned with costly stones and votive offerings, he said, All that you see here--the days will come when there will not be left a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down. Then they asked him, "Teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when all these things are about to happen?" He answered, "See that you not be deceived, for many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he,' and 'The time has come.' Do not follow them! When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for such things must happen first, but it will not immediately be the end." Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be powerful earthquakes, famines, and plagues from place to place; and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky.
