Hello Friends!

I’ve been enjoying making new felt owls for our Christmas tree!  I’m on my second one already.  I plan on keeping our tree up for quite a while as I’m enjoying it so much and it’s not hurting anything but adding me joy!

Package:

Giz and Grampy (Dh’s parents) sent a box with a few gifts for each of us that arrived this week.  We waited until Dd and her boyfriend could come over so we could all open our gifts together.  They were just cute little gifts as they had already bought us a small box freezer for us to put in our garage.  We will get it in the spring sometime when the pandemic has improved.  I believe they mailed Dd a Christmas check, so she got her ‘big’ gift already too.  But, it was fun opening the little gifts.  We opened them on New Year’s Eve as part of our celebration.

New Year’s Eve:

The four of us had a little, short celebration this year.  I had my tingle angel candle gizmo, like the one my grandmother used with us each New Year’s.  But, I only had one bottle of sparkling cider this year.  We sit around the chiming, circling angels in the dark, and go in a circle each saying one thing at a time the things they appreciated from this year.  For example, I was thankful for my Bible study groups.  Then whenever we run out of cider we blow out the candles and are done with our event.  We usually have about three bottles, but I hadn’t been able to go back out shopping again like I had hoped.  I’ve been trying to only shop once every three weeks due to the pandemic.  We played card games like Skip-Bo after our cider.

Bible Studies: I continue to enjoy my two Bible study groups!

Dd’s Progress:

Dd has been spending more nights at Hailee’s house.
