Information Friday

Here is an old blog photo of one of my nativities. It's why we celebrate the season! Jesus' Advent. He came into the world to save us.

Most of my information today is about the CR. There is supposed to be a vote on it again this morning.

Meanwhile Biden DOJ still prosecuting people who were at the Capitol on J6.

Hang in there, friends!

I'll be back on Monday!

Christmas This And That

 

Hello Friends!

I hope you are all well. Christmas is only seven days away now! This season is flying by, as it always does. I have a few more gifts to purchase, then I'll be done with shopping!

I've been enjoying wrapping gifts (though no photos yet) in plaid paper or brown craft paper and adding pretty red or green or both ribbons! here are some old photos of wrapped gifts!

Can you tell I've like plaid/tartan for a long time?

This was a big weekend for us! Our 9th grandbaby was born! Our daughter Emma and her husband Vinnie have a added a precious son to their family. 

We are thankful for his arrival! There are a lot of birthdays, and anniversaries in December in my son in law's family, and this boy adds to it! So much celebrating!

Tim's birthday is Christmas Eve and we will be doing our usual lunch out with friends. It's a highlight of our year.

We are on a school break until after the new year, so I am enjoying that. I've been playing with making lunch bag snowflakes/stars. It's so much fun! Pinterest or YT have lots of instructions on how to do it!

I hope you are living in HOPE of what this season is all about. Without Jesus' coming, we would not have the resurrection and the freedom from sin and the hope of eternity with God!

Information Friday

 

Our weather has been mild, then cold! Thankful that the rainy days we've had have been the mild temperature days, or we'd be buried in snow! I enjoyed a cup of hot chocolate last night, with the lights all aglow!

It's been an interesting week - drones, Trump went to Paris, the United Health Care shooter was arrested, and more. 

This photo got the most attention on line. People were saying "Jill is crushing on Trump" or "Proof that the Bidens voted for Trump."

The Trump people turned it into this ad he shared on Truth Social! So funny!

 

Whether we like the leaders of other countries or not, we must stay out of their business. Bashir was not a good leader, but did you know that Christians were free to worship in Syria? Now they have a muslim religious leader and persecution is coming for Syrian Christians.

Trump trying to keep WWIII from happening or expanding. Working to make peace between Russia and Ukraine, working to stay out of the middle east conflicts.

More appointments.

The truth about J6 is coming out and they can't stop the flow of information, even though they've tried.

I found the line "I just don't know what happened to him" interesting. 

Drones have been seen flying all over the world. Here is a video from Connecticut. 

It's all very interesting.

Have an excellent weekend friends!

Christmas At Our Cottage

 My dad says now that the addition is on the house it is no longer a cottage but a manor house. He thinks I should call it Creekside Manor. I don't agree. It's still a cottage, and I'm so thankful for it.

I love the Christmas decor this year, too.

It's amazing what faux greenery, some lights, and ribbon can do for a space, isn't it?

A close up look at things on the black hutch.

At the end of our short hallway

Then in my bedroom. I put garland, lights, and ribbon on the piano and it's lovely.

My room will be the next room to get some love, or the primary suite bathroom, or both!

The hall bath decor is different than the rest of the house, but it's fun.
