FOR TODAY: December 1st
Outside my window...
it is dark; today was an overcast, windy & chilly day
I am thinking...
that the house is very quiet with the oldest three gone again after having a full house for the holiday weekend
I am thankful for...
for my bright, affectionate, headstrong daughter, who is 21 years old today
From the learning rooms...
stories of Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation (TOG Year 2, Week 16 );
started the Names of Jesus advent study from "Celebrate With Joy"
From the kitchen...
hamburgers, french fries, and salad for dinner tonight;
I need to make another pot of turkey soup with the last of the Thanksgiving leftovers;
I am wearing...
beige slacks, brown t- shirt, and cozy brown plaid flannel shirt
I am creating...
embroidered felt purses and coasters for Christmas presents; gingerbread house with J later this week
I am going...
to the annual Moms Christmas Tea tomorrow night
I am reading...
"The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien to J at bedtime every night;
"The Spontaneous Spread of Home-Discipleship Christianity" by Henry Reyenga Jr.
I am hoping...
to lose 10 pounds by Christmas
I am hearing...
singing coming from the girls' bedroom
Around the house...
I've taken down the fall decorations, but haven't put up anything for Christmas yet - I am behind, I know! There is laundry that needs to be folded, dishes that need to be washed, floors that need to be vacuumed, books and papers that need to be organized.. I'm not feeling very festive
One of my favorite things...
a mug of hot spiced cider on a cold and blustery day
A few plans for the rest of the week:
Amanda's basketball game;
making cookies for the Christmas Tea;
making a gingerbread house with J
for the Lighthouse Christmas Fair and Gingerbread House Contest on Saturday;
decorating the house for Christmas;
nursing those with bad colds and trying not to get sick myself!
Here is picture thought I am sharing...

I would love to use the names of Jesus Advent study instead of our usual one this year! Could you post a link or a place to find that resource?
Thanks in advance!!
