My family
Having all of the basic necessities of life provided for
A beautiful house
The ability to crochet – it makes me happy
The digital camera
Dishwashers
All of my extended family safe and healthy this year
From the learning rooms…
Nothing today!
From the kitchen…
Breakfast is almost ready. The table is set. I have a nice dinner planned for about 1 PM.
I am wearing…
A long black knit skirt (I love it – it came from LandsEnd), taupe knit top, my favorite blue apron, no shoes.
I am creating…
A Columba Blanket in wool. I love the wool! I’m planning a post on it all by itself soon.
On my special prayer list are:
My little nephews who both had uncomfortable procedures yesterday.
Baby Lucia and her family.
Elizabeth, who is still job-hunting.
A troubled family at church.
Rachel and Cameron, who are spending the first holiday after their daughter’s death.
Edna, Mark and Thomas, who are doing the same thing.
I am hearing…
Children complaining that they are hungry!
Around the house…
We cleaned the last two days so there wouldn’t be anything to do but the cooking and I started that last night. Lamplight is so nice on cool, cloudy mornings.
One of my favorite things…
Pickles singing “Pizza Angel” from VeggieTales. (The part where he sings “gooooooey” cracks me up.)
A few plans for the rest of the week:
Get one more homeschool day in before the weekend.
Begin the serious clean-out before Christmas.
Put the garden to bed for winter.
Here are some picture thoughts I am sharing…

Oh that's just lovely. Which reminds me, I haven't thought of anything for my parents' centerpiece! (My Mom has never wanted to bother with them.) I'm sure we have semi-Fall things lying around. I'll have to get crackin'. If I come up with something cool, I'll have to post it.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

The table setting is very warm and inviting. I especially like the beeswax candles. They bring Church with them, don't they?

Thanks for the compliments – really, all of these were “found” items.
Matushka, we'll be there from Friday, Jan 7th to Sunday the 9th. I've been assuming we'll be at the cathedral Sunday morning.
