~THE SABBATH~

**********************************************

Hello to all,
We went to church this morning , our grandson Bruce, his wife Jill,and their baby Brandan,
went with us. We enjoyed the service. We came home, had lunch together, now guess we will just relax for the rest of the evening. I'm on the pc and my husband is watching tv.
It is still cold out, so not much to do out side, just stay in where it is warm.
Blessings to all Love Katie

a great time also. Now we will all be looking forward to the coming of the new year.

~SUNDAY NIGHT~

Hello my dear friends,
Well,it is cold again tonight. Hope this finds everyone staying warm and well!
We are doing ok , We had some of our family come for a visit with us today after church.
Our daughter Shelley and her husband Loyd , their son J.W., and their son Thomas, his wife Larissa, their daughterYanis, and little son Colton. Also,our youngest son David, his wife Minnie, and their oldest daughter Cheyenne. Their other daughter, and son were at home. Our son Larry and his friend were here too . And our daughter Debra, and her daughter , Rana
(our grandaughter) came up from Dallas. We all exchanged gifts, and just had a very good time !
Today was my Mom's birthday,but she has been gone to live with Jesus, for a very long time. I think of her often, and have such wonderful memories, of her and my Dad too.
Many blessings to all. Again Merry Christmas , Happy New Year !

Love, Katie

P.S. Our wonderful memories seem to really come around at this time of the year
especially. Dont you agree?

Also,I thought I would share some pictures of my Christmas decorations!

Wednesday morning,and 8 more days till Christmas Day.....

Good morning dear friends, hope everyone is well. We are all o.k at our house!
Thank the Lord for our many blessings.

Not much news to tell here ,but it is cold today,guess we will stay inside a lot! Since we are giving photos for Christmas gifts to our children, and grandchildren this year there's not much wrapping of gifts to do. I have just been trying to put them in frames for everyone. I used to fix bags of fruit ,nuts, and candy, for all the kids, I still may do that! I know when I was a child I always looked forward to my Christmas stocking,filled with all those goodies. We always did that ,for our little ones too. Of course then ,we all figured Santa came and filled them (smile). Guess, today I'll start thinking about what to cook for Christmas dinner,for when the kids all stop by. Some of them fix dinner at their house for all their kids , but I'm sure they will come by later to eat some of Mom's cooking. Also,all the grandchildren, know that Granny and Grandad will be waiting for all those hugs. Tis the Season, so everyone, have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Love to all, God loves you too....Blessings,Katie

~SNOW IN THE FORECAST...?

Well maybe, but it would be unusual! We hardly ever have snow. Would be nice at Christmas time though. It is very cold here tonight!

Hello to all my dear friends! I pray everyone is well, and looking forward to a wonderful Christmas with friends, and loved ones.We are planning a trip to Dallas on the 24th,Christmas eve,to have Christmas dinner at our daughter Debra's house. Tomorrow night we are having our Christmas party,and dinner at the church. We are looking forward to that,as well.

***************************************************

Hello, dear friends,hope everyone is well, and staying warm.
It is cold here to day, nice sunshine, but the wind is cold.
It's 20 days until Christmas! I have done some decorations,
but still have not put my tree up,I think I'll put a small tree up
this year. We don't have a lot of space for our big one.
My husband and I, went to have our pictures made for Christmas,
To give for gifts, to our children, and grandchildren this year.
It had been awhile since we had studio photos made.
So we decided now would be a good time to have that done!
I think they will all like them. We wish you all a very Merry
Christmas, and a Happy new year.

Blessings to all.....

Love ,Katie
