Short and Sweet.....

It's such a special thing to receive a totally unexpected package arrive in the mail!

This light as air box was on the porch this weekend and it held two tiny glass honeybees! 

I love the handwritten card that came with them even more!

This was from our Family Friend, Joni!

She is related to my sister, Nita, by marriage but we ALL feel like Joni belongs to us as a family.

Joni won the Christmas painting at our Fort Worth Family Chinese Christmas Tree a few years ago.

And this reminds me, I ordered canvas prints of my Santa's Express painting so I will be doing a giveaway post soon.

I am liking the hall gallery wall I hung on Saturday, 

All of these paintings are old ones I have done......

Some from the 80's and 90's even.

This large blue winter scene at this end of the wall has hung in the dining roomever since I painted it in 1988! It really IS time to change things around here a bit! 

Can you see all the nicks and chips in this frame?

I painted this snow scene in 1985 and have always hung it in a gold frame.

However, this is the second one that is biting the dust. Sometimes, when Louis Dean knocks them off, the frames come apart at the corners. Other times they just get beat up.

We watched Fellowship Church online this morning and the message was on anxiety and worry.

While I am not a worry wart at heart, sometimes we all can get caught up with concerns that we can do very little about.

I have always loved the Prayer of Serenity, but this is the first time I have seen and read the entire prayer. I am going to print this out and memorize it this week.

After church, I did some housework - routine stuff like making the bed and emptying the dishwasher and things like that. Then I dressed in sweat pants and a Dallas Cowboy t-shirt.......

and made us all hamburgers!

Summer suggested I use Lipton's dry onion soup mix - so I did!

I'm not the one who normally cooks hamburgers around here but these turned out every bit as good as any Louis Dean cooks! I simply mixed the dry soup mix and 1/2 cup of white wine to the ground beef!

Win! WIN!!! It was really good!

Then we three took our plates in and started watching the Cowboys vs Panthers football game I had set to record. 

It's fun to be a Dallas Cowboys fan again!!

They WON!!!

I admit to sneaking a peak at my phone to check on the final score about halfway into the game.

Once it was over, I went in and took the most delicious nap!

I almost just stayed in bed but figured, if I did, I'd be up in the middle of the nap!

See that pick up truck with the pumpkins?

That's where the blue snow scene canvas had hung for so many years.

The other side of the sign is like a blackboard with a quote about making memories around the table.

I'll probably turn it around tomorrow.

So I worked my way through the dining room and into the sewing room today.

Cleaning and do the odd and end thing in each room.

I spent some time sewing on a denim quilt for a baby girl and may go back in there and sew some more before I go to bed.

Thank you so much for your prayers for my unspoken request.

We had a bit of a health scare but all is well and I am so very thankful.

Life is fragile. 

Handle with prayer.....
