Sunday Funday!

Got to spend some time with this special little girl this afternoon!  She is always bringing me something of hers as a gift!  She has such a generous heart!  Today she brought me a little bracelet with a charm with her name engraved on it!  She brought her makeup and had planned to do my nails but by the time we finished with supper, it was getting too late.  BJ and Chloe came over for dinner and BJ wanted to take Mandi her dinner while it was still warm. 

Went to 8 a.m. Mass this morning.  It was a good sermon.  Father talked about our journeys that we are on and having hope in our lives.  Two very important things for me to hear today.  I do need to stay on course with God as my GPS.  I can just hear Him sometimes telling me to 'turn around as soon as possible' when I take off on my own path!  And without hope I don't think I would be able to get through some of my days!  I try to remember to take it one day at a time....one hour at a time.....or sometimes even one minute at a time.  I don't always remember to do this but when I do....it does make a difference!  Progress, not perfection, right?!

We finally saw the sunshine today!  BUT that wind was bitterly cold!  Ryan has someone scheduled to come out to look at the furnace tomorrow.  We told him some things that he needs to do in order to prevent the pipes from freezing up.  I just hate that they don't have heat but at least they have the gas fireplace!  And little heaters for the bathroom. 

Finished packing up all of the Christmas decorations.  While BJ was here for dinner, we hauled everything back up into the attic.  BJ handed boxes up to Craig who was halfway up the ladder and then he handed them on up to me in the attic!  Didn't take us long and am glad to have that job done! 

Cooked my grandma's Macaroni and Beef for supper tonight (comfort food!), green beans, tossed salad and french bread.  Yummy!  Craig was trying to tempt me into going out for dinner but (1) it was too cold for me to want to get out (2) and most importantly it was a lot cheaper eating at home and after the holidays and this furnace issue....we need to try to cut back on our spending. 

Thankful for my faith, friendships and family!
