My audio Bible study is on break right now so I will say hi. Cindy nice to read about your Christmas and going to neighbors homes with gifts, together with Bruce, I know that was a blessing. I don't celebrate Christmas, the last few days have been a blessing typing chat with other Christians, I am always giggling and laughing, nice to talk to both men and woman and everyone is respectful of one another, and I have a friend that has been such a blessing to me lately. Break is over, God bless you, glad you slept well, pray that continues.

oops, I keep forgetting that I wanted to show you how Bruce decorated by Sunny's grave this year. He actually used a tree he cut down to decorate as he thought it looked better for Christmas then the one in front of his grave lol. Unfortunately the pictures he took at night with it all lit up didn't turn out.

Happy Birthday, Leigh! Hope you have a wonderful day.
Sorry I got here so late. I'm dusting and putting Christmas decorations away. This retirement home has a housekeeping service, but they don't dust tenants' furniture, etc. They just clean the apartment itself.
We had a terrific rainstorm last night but it's sunny now. Hubby has football games to watch all day.
Hugs.

Good day Cindy, nice picture of the Christmas tree, it would look nice out there at night lit up. Where is the snow? We have 1 inch of snow on the ground right now, cool. Lulu I like that picture of the church, is that cool or what. Hi Marge, it is rain or snow for us here for the next few day and colder than usual temperatures.

Oh wow, I'd love to have housekeeping service of any kind! What a blessing that would be! The hardest jobs for me are vacuuming, sweeping, and things like that. After that it's changing the beds. So those things don't get done very often anymore.
Yes, Happy Birthday Lorrie! I wished you a happy birthday on Facebook, but forgot to do so here. I'm sorry hon.

And my nephew Scotty is coming to town for New Years! At knots berry farm! Can’t wait to see him and his family! And it’s a Jazz of a Jazzy week! Happy Friday everyone! What a beautiful church! It reminds me of the one we went to for years in Peterborough. It's All Saints Episcopal Church:
I remember Knotts Berry Farm! I went there as a child. I'm sure it's a lot different now though lol. Yep, I just looked and it was much smaller way back then and didn't have hardly any of that stuff! That's great you're going to get to see him!

We had some for awhile, but it's all gone now. All we've been getting is rain lately, including today. Everyone wants snow now of course though. Strange how it's been colder for you guys and warmer for us!

Good afternoon to all. I'm happy to see that everyone had a nice Christmas.
Cindy, it was great talking with you, on the phone, for Christmas. Thank you so much for calling me. At that point, I thought that was the only voice I would hear, for the holidays, when I got another pleasant surprise, and Lorrie called me too! I talked both your ears ragged............sorry about that.
LOL, I wasn't kidding, Lorrie, when I told you that my husband wanted to find me the T Shirt that says "HELP, I'M TALKING AND I CAN'T SHUT UP!"
But, it was real nice to hear both of you, and thank you for making my Christmas have a smile.
Lulu and Margie, you are both so generous to send me beautiful cards for both Christmas and Thanksgiving. Thank you, so much!!
I could send cards and greetings and hugs and posts, from this moment on, for the rest of my life and it would never measure up to the love, prayers and support that I receive, right here at Fresh-Hope. Thank you, my dear Christian sisters and brothers.

Fun and laughter, some tears, he has two little ones that are quite the challenge! 🤪🤣 but it was fun! Then did Christmas again with Jazzy and Ashlyn! That was full of laughter!🎁🎁🎁 Now being lazy yet again in bed snuggled with my Boy Mace.... Ron brought me coffee, I be spoiled!

Jenn and Bob went to Maine for Christmas to see his parents this year, so we had our Christmas on Saturday, the 29th, and it was wonderful! They all enjoyed their gifts and surprised us with the gift of Amazon's Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote! Bruce has been playing with it ever since. It's funny because we were talking about checking it out just the week before! They even brought dinner so I didn't have to cook! After opening gifts and eating, of course everyone had to try out the gifts - that's always fun. While Elijah and Grace played and entertained us, we adults had a good time just chatting with each other. I love being able to have meaningful conversations my daughter, her husband, and my grandkids. Best of all, they all love the Lord and His Word, so we often talk about that. The kids know more about the Lord and His Word then many adults do today, so in spite of their age, they contribute to the conversation too.
Our Christmas ended in a way that only God could have come up with! Toward the end of the evening, Bruce had gotten up to get something from his room. The next thing we know, he's yelling "everyone get out on the porch right now!" Well, when Grandpa yells, children, grandchildren and wife obey instantly! It was a large group of Christmas carolers! They sang several songs for us and then gave us a plate of Christmas cookies with information about their church, wishing us a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year. That church comes caroling every year on Christmas eve, but for some reason hadn't been able to this year, so they came that Saturday! God is so amazing and has blessed us so much! Happy Saturday morning! Lazy morning here, hangin out in bed with boyits chilly out in our sanctuary and nice and cozy warm here in the heated water bed😆.

A ducks hockey game??? With real ducks???? Or is it a real hockey game of some kind....? Anyway, I'm glad she's going to have a good time and that you all will get to see her soon. Good afternoon to all. I'm happy to see that everyone had a nice Christmas.

After all that you deserve some time to be lazy in bed. I'm so glad you've had a good holiday season! Hi everybody.....last day of 2018!
Yep, it sure is! I'm hoping that this next year will be our best year of all; that we'll all grow in our faith, and that it will culminate with us joining our Lord Jesus Christ in the air! I'm taking seriously the scriptures that say, "the end of all things is near" and to "look up for our salvation is nearer now, then it was before." Cheryl - Big Hugs to you! We had an early New Year's Eve Happy Hour last night. A band played, lots of visiting and then we sang Auld Lang Syne (spelling?)
lol I've never been able to spell that...at least not without checking the dictionary first! Do you remember the first time you ever heard that song as a child? I do, and didn't have a clue what it meant! I remember wondering if it was really something like "old long sigh"
Happy New Year everyone! God bless you all!

Attachment Deleted ugh, back to the dysfunctional world! But I am up and ready to face it! Talked for quite some time last night to my cousin, please pray for her, she is still very much missing her Raymond. She is still in deep mourning....but I think some of it is that she’s so alone up there! Please join Ron and I in praying that this house sells this month, and we can make the move to Uncles house.

Attachment Deleted Good morning happy Friday! Love these short weeks! But this is the last one for quite some time! The girls, Jess, Ashlynn and Jazzy are up and getting ready for a road trip to Yesemite! Jess use to work there and is going for a visit with old co-workers before they move further away. I believe this will be the first time for the girls though! Matt has to work so he can’t go with. ☕️ Is good this morning! You all have a great day!

That will be great for the girls to see! I still remember when my parents took me there! I think of things like that, and even when I'm just looking around at God's creation here, I often wonder at it's beauty and then have to wonder what it would look like without the decay and all that sin has done to the earth.... It makes me look forward even more to our future when we'll get to see the earth in all it's original beauty that God intended us to live in, and I can't wait! Good day, yes this week went by so fast. I need a pair of rabbit slippers. We got snow here and it was nice to look at, animals had fun playing in the snow. Isn't it fun to watch the animals play? I love to see that! What are rabbit slippers?
Bruce is glad for the short weeks too, as he only worked two days the week of Christmas and the same for New Years, but got payed for a full week for each. Now that the new year has started he's thrilled too because now he gets 3 weeks payed vacation instead of two and a week sick pay. I just hope that this year he won't need more then the 5 days of sick pay!

Yes this first week is zooming by!!!
I 'think' maybe Anna was referring to the image on Lulu's post of (cartoon) Garfield in his bunny slippers... ( just 2 posts before your last one about short work weeks)

Well, Cindy, LOL, I tried to snip and paste Lulu's Garfield graphic, but it won't work. The "bunny" slippers.........or like Anna said "rabbit" slippers is what she was referring to. LOL
Boy, this past week, to me, just dragged. Even though it was a 3 day week, it seemed to last much longer. Everyone at work was saying the same thing. At first, I thought it was just me. Now it's already Saturday afternoon! Pretty soon it will be Monday!
I have laundry to do, dishes to wash, floors to mop! And TV to watch, and sleep to get, and...and...and anything I want. LOL!!! I'm just being silly.

We are expecting rain all day Sunday. Every time I buy an umbrella Ron uses it one time and he give it back to me broken, so I bought a pink umbrella and I expect to be able to keep this one. I am feeling like something is going to happen, from the news I have been listening to. People I communicate with on-line are having super blessings or else strange problems.
