I have been decorating like a mad woman the last several days!
I can't seem to help my self!
I know it's always a little over the top but I would decorate if only Louis Dean and I ever saw it!
The den is done.....and I moved on to the living room today!
I had done some preliminary things and then yesterday I put on the finishing touches except for decorating the tree.
This is my Quiet Spot whenever I can't go outside to the kitchen deck with my first cup of coffee.
It's one of my favorite places to sit and pray....
What I used to call may Angel Wall is now my Nita Wall.....
Thank you, Susan for the Angel Light which has been such a comfort to me.
The foyer.....
As you enter the front door.....
And as you continue from the foyer to the living room.
Louis Dean bought me a 5 track CD player for my birthday in 20005!
I may be the last person in the world to play CDs but I love them!
I am so NOT techy and it's amazing that I even know how to blog!
Speaking of which - blog backgrounds are not easy to get any more.
What are y'all doing about it?
I love my home and the living room is next to my very favorite room which is the den - once upon a time my LEAST favorite.
So I close tonight's journal entry with the two winners!
I prayed several times that God would choose the winners and so He did!
The first draw is #45 - Luann Rogers who happens to be my half sister.....
I am half to all my sisters.....Deanie, Lanita, Luann, Shari, Rita, and Lori as well as my brothers Lonnie and Buster. Then I have two brothers who died early in life - and another sister, Shirley.
So now I have four siblings in heaven along with the father I never knew.
It will be a true Family Reunion when we all get there!
Luann and I have had a relationship in the past even though we were not able to grow up together.
We reconnected later in life but it wasn't all we hoped it would be.
When Nita was on life support and dying.....
we had an emotional conversation and that was our last communication.
Life is messy and I appreciate the comments my sister has left on my recent journal entries.
It's a God thing that Luann has continued to support me in her comments.
Luann, I love you and I will put your canvas in the mail on Monday.
I have continued to pray for you every day - actually twice a day - you are my sister and also a widow.
The second winner is #61 and that's my dear friend Sue Batz!
I do so love you!
And I am looking forward to being with you in heaven !
You, my dear Sue, are such an inspiration to me....
It's December First and the Christmas season is beginning!
