Home alone for while. Baked some cookies for Doug’s meeting tonight. Spent too much time researching fudge and shortbread recipes. I can hear my phone telling me Doug is on his way home. Dinner is not ready, but he’s usually not ready to eat as soon as he gets home. That’s a good thing. I didn’t want tonight to be a late night, but I think it might turn out that way.

Oddly emotional week this week. Good and bad. Easy and hard. Some big concerns, but that’s OK. God is bigger. Overall, a demanding week. I have no complaints, but I am convicted: just not praying enough. That is my resolution for next week: pray more. I’ll let you know how I do.

No pictures today, because Dropbox is giving me grief. Oh, well. :/

Lots of pictures and videos ahead. You have been warned! LOL

The Upstairs Neighbors* were out of town this week. They arrived back home early Saturday morning, and it was so good to hold them all in my arms. Lucy came home with a pretty bad cold that she shared with her Daddy. So, when Tim requested chicken soup, I offered to make it. Making broth is one of my favorite things.

While I was cooking, I heard a sound that I had been missing this week. I sneakily slipped my phone into the bedroom and captured Doug and Lucy singing books. 

 

 

We had our first snow today. and it was mostly very nice. Grateful we had a cozy place to be, and glad we finished our Fall clean-up yesterday.  Can you believe my pansies are still alive? They are rather neglected, but still alive. I brought them to our enclosed porch.

My parsley was still alive, too.  Even covered in snow, it looked pretty healthy. I added some to the broth.

My 2017 garden in three pictures. I have so many pictures of my garden. I’m so grateful the Lord has given me this garden. It is such a kindness. 

I will say goodbye with lots of love, and share one more video. It is my sweet husband singing to the Lord. Yes, he is The Saxophone Player, but he has a few other talents. ❤

God is so good!
*Our daughter and her family live in the upstairs apartment—be still my heart!

Well, it’s a little late to call this Saturday Evening, but so it goes. It’s the end of a long day and a long week. I didn’t want to be up this late, but I allowed my hope in a lost cause to hijack three hours of my evening. Stupid mistake; I’ve fallen for that bait too many times. (Heavy sigh.) Maybe, that’s a lesson I won’t have to learn, again.

It has been a great week, though, and I cannot wait to tell you about it—I just can’t tell you about it now. Must get a bit of sleep.

God bless you. Be well. I’ll be back soon! ❤️

This cutie-pie doesn’t care for bibs, but she did enjoy her first Thanksgiving. Her first birthday party is tomorrow. So grateful!
