I am thankful for...My quiet time this morning.  His Word continually renews and refreshes me.

From the learning rooms...Today we are taking the day off to decorate the house for Christmas.  The girls were gone all weekend, and this will give us a relaxed time to enjoy this special memory.

From the kitchen...  I will be making turkey soup from their carcasses and cookies for an exchange this evening.

I am wearing...  My pj's.  Soon I will wear my favorite jeans and layered shirts to keep warm.

I am creating... Our Jesse ornaments, found at this site....RCA Jesse Tree I will be doing a simple stitch on muslin with black thread.  I hope to have Jennifer also make a set with me.

I am going... to the dentist in a few hours.  We all have appointments

I am reading... Besides my bible, I have begun several books which are in my sidebar. 

I am hoping...To not be late to the dentist.  Getting on the computer in the morning is huge time blaster for me.  But I've been hoping to do this for months. 

I am hearing... The furnace kick on, and it's gentle hum.

Around the house...We are preparing for the celebration of our Savior's birth.

One of my favorite things... My yummy coffee each morning.  At Costco we buy a box that has individual packages in it, then I add Sugar Free French Vanilla Creamer. 

A few plans for the rest of the week: 
*Begin our Advent studies.
*Get back on track with good eating habits and exercise.  
* Begin our Native American studies

Here is picture thought I am sharing...
