God Bless Our Troops

Monday, November 28, 2011 - It's Cyber Monday and my anniversary

Today is my anniversary! At 7:00 pm tonight it will be 11 years since I put out my last cigarette!
The tree is up and decorated.  Here are a few pics from the fun.  They look slightly bored, don't they.  Claire is wearing her "tree decorating crown." 




Of course, we had to stop for a snack.  They raided Grandpa's birthday present.
.
Clay stole Claire's crown.  A minor skirmish ensued.


Meghan and Madison found a surprise when they got here this morning.

I have finally finished the last of the website stocking orders that have to go out by the 30th.  We still have a few odds and ends orders, but for the most part, the stress is off.  This afternoon I will finish putting together the choir folders, make a couple batches of fudge, a couple batches of white chocolate chex mix and December should find me ready to enjoy the season.  Now if Madison would just quit singing "Trick or Treat, smell my feet."

Just a reminder that the Cyber Monday sale is going strong on Etsy

Word of the day
Monday of the First week of Advent
Saint(s) of the day : St. James of the Marches, Franciscan Priest (1394-1476)


When he entered Capernaum, a centurion approached him and appealed to him,
saying, "Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, suffering dreadfully."
He said to him, "I will come and cure him."
The centurion said in reply, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof; only say the word and my servant will be healed.
For I too am a person subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come here,' and he comes; and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it."
When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, "Amen, I say to you, in no one in Israel have I found such faith.
I say to you, many will come from the east and the west, and will recline with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the banquet in the kingdom of heaven,
