I know you can't really see the cable pattern in this picture, but my 'skinny scarf' is finished. Size 13 needles and a fun chunky yarn.  My daughter had been here for a whole week for my bday....=) and we started these together. I want to start another in a solid yarn so that the design will show up.  This is so cozy to wear, even though I think it needn't have been quite so long.  I know it shouldn't be worn with a red sweater...but....its warm & cozy and I'm just home today.  All day. =)

 Daughter took us and a friend to a fancy tea room for lunch and this is the hat I wore.  We had a wonderful time. I loved it.

 Anyone else have vintage dresser scarves and teacups on their dresser?  You can never  have to much  loveliness, right?

One of our Sunday Sch. boys...just turning 8 years old...drew this Bible story of Joshua.  The words on the yellow scroll proclaim....'Strength, Courage, Success.'  Well put.  It is utterly delightful and a blessing.  He gave it to me!....and I think it is just wonderful.  Four pages of the story in his own words and all illustrated.  If I were rich I'd have it made into a book.  My grandson does things like this too that I love.

We happened on a book sale this past two weeks.  Fill a plastic basket for $5.00.  We filled two baskets and came home with about 48 books....more or less.  This is one of them.  I really enjoyed the photos and information this one had.  I hadn't realized that Jackie was 12 years younger than Jack. She was 24 and he was 36 when they married.  I've always admired her for her courage and grace. And being able to speak fluently in 4 languages also. And that she wore my shoe size...10A.  haha.

Warm wishes for a blessed Sunday.  Time to worship and enjoy some quiet time.  Its been a nice day here,  staying home all day.  No tv as yet.  Meditating on the Sunday School lesson on the Lord's prayer.  Our example.  Learning to say, 'thy will be done'.  Remembering worship starts in the heart with action following.  Wisdom from God....what a priceless gift.  Love it.  Having ham & scalloped potatoes Hubby prepared.  (gotta love him for that =)....(& I do!).  Baking a blueberry cake.  Enjoying the serenity of the day.  Reading a 'Miss Read'  Christmas story,  'The Christmas Mouse'.  I feel like I'm there with them in the house...its that good.

'I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.'  Psalm 130:5
