Happy Tuesday and More

My oldest Noelle and I had a fun snapchat photo! This is my birthday now and than. This grammie has a few more gray hairs but I sure am living a good life.

I don't mind my birthday coming around every 365 days. As long as the Lord is willing to keep me here, I am grateful to be loved and enjoy my beautiful P H A M I L Y !

Several years ago I ran into an old friend Margie. She has the prettiest jet black hair and silver wings on each side. She told me young gals she worked with asked her why she left her gray hairs unattended. She said she tells them, it's wisdom baby, wisdom. I earned every single one of these and wear them proudly. I feel just like Margie.

We met Franklin when Hannah and Jake visited for a few days at Thanksgiving. Harrison says "cheeeeeeeese" at my partially decorated CHRISTmas tree. Nick and everyone else loved Franklin, he is a gentle canine. So he is here in honor of the memories I share with Tuesday Show and Tail. Franklin is a rescue and Jake kept him because he said other people thought he was ugly. Well let me tell you, Franklin is anything but ugly. He is the sweetest little fellow. I am happy he is part of our phamily now. His brother Leo approved of him too.

Jake and Hannah cut their own CHRISTmas tree today for their home. She said it was an awesome experience.

They worked hard getting it beautiful inside their house. Thanks to sister Rebekah and brother-in-law Zach for the "first" CHRISTmas ornaments too. Dad bought them some lights since we could not get much out of our shed due to the mini blizzard we had last week. Once I get into that shed Hannah and Jake are welcome to the dozens of stars or angel tree toppers. You know we have a huge collection, some still in their original packages.

CHRISTmas humor.

This Elf on a Shelf, grateful he wasn't around when my kids were small. I think he is totally perverted and creepy. You will never find him at my house unless he visits the cat litter pans.

I will stick with reading the Book of Luke from Dec 1 to Dec 24. On Dec 25 you will know the life of Christ as we prepare to meet Him on CHRISTmas Day. It is interesting to me that the Book of Luke contains 25 chapters. It is also one of the gospels relating to the life of Jesus. I hope you joined Happy Tuesday. Say hi to Sandee and everyone who stops by. Enjoy your week.
