Great day. Torren was not feeling the best during the night, but chippered up and joined family activities by noon. On the way to Jensens for lunch there was a beautiful big flake snow falling. Lord, I thank you for all the blessings that you give me. How can I praise you with my life. In the morning Haley and I made two batches of cream wafers. We made playdough. One batch had orange jello. It turned out kind of sticky. The new bedrooms at Jensens' looked great. And what a clean house. We went over about 11:30 and Cooks came about 12:30. The roads were snow and ice covered by Aurillea. In the afternoon, some took naps, Phillip pulled the kids with the four wheeler, Denny got home about 4. We went to the Christmas eve service at 6. Luke and Karen got home about 7. Denny's soup in the coop was great! Chicken Gnokke. The potato sausage came with a disclaimer that it should be eaten with "tight moderation". Lots of fat and sodium. I made Swiss onion, French bread. Kids played Apples to Apples. The auction was crazy. Two wooden boxes went the highest. 2K. We each had $1444 of monopoly money to spend. Lord, be with our family as they live their lives. We stayed up way too late.
For over 50 years my mom, Bernice Newhouse, kept a journal, usually in spiral notebooks with the year written on the outside. Mom died in April 2008. In December 2008 my son, Luke, tried to get me into the 21st century with a blog site. This is kind of in remembrance of Mom and an update for my kids of my day to day life. Nothing exciting or noteworthy...I'm just thankful to God for all He has given me. What a great Lord we have.
