It's been another busy week, but I imagine that will be the case until Christmas. Meanwhile, I like to pause amid the bustle with Susanne and friends at Living to Tell the Story to appreciate the blessings of the week.
1. Winning! I won an Amazon card from Paula's giveaway and a code to see a movie from Susan. Fun!
2. Family outing at Jesse's. My youngest son's TV stopped working. It was wall-mounted, so he needed help getting it down and the new one back up. Jason and Timothy came over and brought pizza from Costco (Mittu was sick, unfortunately). Jim and I came and bought power tools. 🙂 Replacing the old TV went pretty seamlessly. Then we tried out some of the newest Jackbox games on it.
3. A family outing to see a play. Jason, Mittu, Timothy and I went to see an afternoon production of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It was put on by a local home school group and performed at a local community college. Then we went out to a taco-and-nacho place.
The room did fill up closer to play time.
Timothy took a selfie. 🙂
4. Small group meeting. This was only our second time to go. We enjoyed getting to know people better and having an extended time of prayer.
5. Harvest loaf cake used to be a yearly tradition, but I don't think I made any the last year or two. I kind of miss holiday baking, but with both of us needing to keep an eye on our blood sugar levels, it's best not to keep temptation around. But I made some for the small group meeting. The recipe made six mini-loaves, so I took three there, put two in the freezer for when Jeremy comes, and we had some to munch on.
I'm a little behind from where I wanted to be at this point in Christmas preparations. But everything will get done one way or another. 🙂 I hope you're having a good week as well!
