I’m in the process of turning my home into a cozy nest of Christmas-y cheer. Christmas is the bright spot in a season I could otherwise do without and I love to “deck the halls”. Here are some before and after pics of what I’ve been working on: This table is just inside our entry…
Menu Plan Monday ~ November 28, 2011
Click here for more menu ideas! I hope my American readers had a nice Thanksgiving. We certainly did. We had the big meal with extended family on Thursday and then I cooked for my kids and parents on Friday. I actually got the quantities right because we had plenty of leftovers for the weekend, ham…
Advent and Autumn Leaves
Today is the first Sunday of Advent. I love the juxtaposition of Autumn leaves and Christmas decorations in this photo I took in church this morning. I am thankful to attend a church which observes Advent, the anticipatory time leading up to Christmas. I love the fact that we save the Christmas carols for Christmas…

Things I’m thankful for

Thankful for what isn’t
I’ve had this post pulled up to write for awhile, trying to decide what to give public thanks for today. I have so much to be grateful for that it’s sometimes difficult to decide what to focus on for my daily November Thanksgiving posts. And then just a few minutes ago David called. He had…
Labor saving devices
Lisa and I went to Norman today to pick up the organic turkey breasts we had pre-ordered. We had a few other things we needed or wanted so we ended up going to five or six shops. Both of us have a lot to do this week so we managed to sandwich in this trip…
