UPDATE: URGENT PRAYER REQUEST:

I received a prayer request, by message, from Linda @ Mymanyblessings that so touched my heart.  I am asking for prayer for this precious little girl, Ivory, age 7, who was in a terrible go-cart accident.  Please go visit Chris at Mighty_Men_of_Valor and read the request, and let them know you are praying … all of your prayers are so very appreciated!

Hope you’ve all had a wonderful week … I’ve been busy getting ready for another craft fair at a local school, that starts tomorrow.  Later this afternoon we need to get the ‘bubbles’, candles, tables, decorations, etc., packed in the van, and then head on over to unload and set up.  We have a 2 hour window tonight, then back again in the morning 2 hours before the show starts, to finish up.  The weather is supposed to be beautiful, and in the 50′s, so we hope that will bring the crowds out! 

We took a bit of a break and headed out for some holiday cheer at the Christmas Gift & Hobby Show.  I wasn’t quite in the mood for the biggest season of the year, but it was quite cheery with the Christmas music playing and all the decorations.  I found a couple of cookbooks … yes, remember I’m a collector! :o) They had a booth there with a lot of great books that were about half, to a third of the price, so I got a bargain there!  I found a couple of devotional books, along with a CD of folk guitar Christmas music … very nice!  I also found a ‘rag rug’ for my kitchen. The colors are warm, which makes it seem even cozier for this time of year.  I had thought about getting two, but they were a bit pricey, and this one is working out just fine … you should see my cat, he absolutely loves it!  We have one that is made of denim blue jeans, but I think he prefers this one!  He’s a ‘quirky’ cat … besides the ‘rag rugs’, he has this thing for clothespins!  Seriously!  He loves to play with them!  We call him the ‘Keeper of the Clothespins’!  I need to keep a daily journal for him … might make a good book someday! 

We also have a new ‘neighbor’ that we discovered today … one of the 4–legged, barking sort!  I’m not quite sure how Moosh feels about this yet … at one point, he had his attention, so I took this picture from the bedroom window where he perches and watches him acting like a … well, a puppy!  They do let him run loose, and that’s a concern with the traffic … puppies don’t watch those things you know!  He’s really kind of cute … he looks like a ‘Butch’, don’t ya think?!  We ended our evening a bit late with a quick bite at Don Pablo’s … we had ‘Momma’s Skinny Enchilada’s’ … a lite meal for those who are weight conscious!  I’ll check back in soon, but in the meantime, you all have a wonderful weekend.  I have a few pictures below of ‘the ragged rug, clothespin cat’ … and his new buddy, ‘Butch’!  Be blessed!!

 Hugs,

There is a joy which is not given to the ungodly, but to those who love Thee for Thine own sake, whose joy Thou Thyself art.  And this is the happy life, to rejoice to Thee, of Thee, for Thee; this it is, and there is no other.  ~Augustine

The Raggedy Rug Cat!

“Can We keep it mom?!  Can we, huh, can we”?!

“Those raggedy rugs wear me out!”




I wasn’t sure if I wanted to try to hang laundry that day!
… I opted to use the dryer!  )
