{It's A New Beginning Y'all}

  It's a tad late to wish a  Happy New Year but I sure hope that it's kicked off good for everyone. Ours kicked off with being so THANKFUL for what God has done and is doing. As I told my family as we were reminiscing over 2024, "There is a lot of 2024 I DO NOT WANT A RE-DO but the Lord has surely taught me so very much. I am truly thankful for each breath, each day, family and close friends. We had our three youngest grands for New Years Eve. We had a great time and the girls enjoyed a little fishing, bonfire with their great-grandfather and roasting marshmallows. Their great-grandfather will be 90 years old next month. As most of you know I do a monthly focus board and this makes my 3rd or 4th year. I've lost count. Only fitting that New Beginnings would be my focus for January. This has been so good for me as it sits on my kitchen counter so I can see it daily. Wonderful way to focus and quote God's Word daily.  I felt up to hosting a lunch and movie day with ...

{Merry Christmas Everyone}

My Skinny Tree in a Sleigh I have sure missed blogging with everyone but after I returned from New York with my family it seems that I have been full steam ahead. I hope that you all are ready for Christmas. I must say that I was on top of things this season. All my decorating and most every gift was taken care of before Thanksgiving this year. YAY! Of course I have had tons of piddly things to do but have enjoyed the holidays for sure.  We had such a blast in New York. This was my first trip and I am so glad that I was able to spend this time with my three daughters, three oldest grandgirls and my sweet friend Kim who is also my daughter Melissa's motherinlove. We left on a Tuesday morning and I got home on Saturday morning around 1:15. We did so much in a short amount of time. I can't even begin to tell you all that we done. Two of my daughter's had been to New York so knew the ropes pretty much. THANK THE LORD they did because this country ...

{It's About To Be Christmas Y'all!}

Isn't this just the sweetest picture ever? My daughter snapped this of her two girls right after they put up their tree and it just melted this Nana's heart.  I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We surely did. As always we have such a big gathering with Marty's family at my Fatherinlove's home each year. Lots of food but most importantly, a sweet time of fellowship.  The day after Thanksgiving me and my two youngest daughters with three of the grandgirls hit the Black Friday Shopping. My oldest daughter and her family took a trip to Universal in Orlando, Fl. so she wasn't with us. Honestly, the crowds weren't as bad as I had anticipated. The lines were a little long but hey...what do we expect when we go out Black Friday shopping, right?  Of course, we ended our day with Starbucks and that makes everything okay in my book! Most of you know that I LOVE my little corner chair in my dining room and use it for so ...
