a Merry Christmas, but it slid right by - busy time in the homestead with visiting kids and a new puppy. So it will have to be about the new year instead...
2011 had a lot of ups and downs - the loss of loved ones and unemployment was tough - a lot of tough changes - a valley experience - to prepare us for the year 2012 to come - prayerfully a better year ahead - Beautiful daughter will start school this summer to become a Forensics specialist - Football boy will finish his second year of culinary school - and DH will enjoy his first year of retirement. Oldest son and wife continue with the career paths they enjoy - we enjoyed their visit at Thanksgiving...
Christmas was wet, but wonderful, with the wonder children (nee adults) visiting for the weekend. Hard to let them go back to Florida, but they have lives that keep them busy - just happy they could visit. Lots of food and great gifts to share - time at the candlelight service on Christmas Eve - together as a family, including the Queen mother this time...
Big wind storms last night and part of today - possibility of snow flurries tonight and tomorrow morning. Nothing like last Christmas when we had a foot + of snow. This year is wet - but no snow yet. My vacation ends today - but long weekend next weekend. Time at home with the DH and the pups is wonderful - needs to happen more often.
So, a lot to get done to return the homestead to its natural state- take down the decorations and store them away until next year - get rid of the wrapping and other items and store the cards where we can pray over the folks we got cards from. Praying for God's direction in the new year for our everyday lives, our little business and how He wants us to worship and where....
Since I missed the Christmas greetings and it slipped past, I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and I wish everyone a Happy, Healthy New Year in 2012. I hope to be on the blog more often and keeping you up to date with the goings on at Restoration House -
Be Blessed -
Kim
