Christmas is almost here



I had started this a month ago, which means it has been 2 months since my last blog entry.
Winter weather is definitely here. I wake up in the wee hours of the morning to the sound of the furnace kicking on (set at 63°). Still minimal amounts of snow which is great for the faint of heart when it comes to driving in the snow (ME).

I have made a lateral move at work and am learning my new job and training my replacement. It makes for a busy December.

My little girl just turned 21! Time definitely seems to move faster as we get older. I certainly don’t feel almost 45 (well, most days).

Other big news is my daughter's engagement (yep, on her birthday)  ~  I will be an empty nester before long.  A mother hen without a chick.

[Previous:  Wow ~ another month has gone by since my last update.
So, we decided to hold off on the raised garden beds until next spring. I have put the outside to bed and we are ready (as much as can be) for the winter.
I am so proud of my daughter’s accomplishments at G.U. so far this semester. She has a heavy load and has a work-study job, too. The bummer is that her bus commute time each week is about the same as the work-study hours! She is a trooper ~ I lift her up daily to the Lord for guidance and protection.]
