Homemaking Mondays: Something For Those Special People In Our Lives

 

                             

Hello!
It's a heavy fog kind of day here

and the lake is completely obscured. 

The fog is brightening up the outdoors and even though

the sun is not yet up it is cheerful out.

The grey jays are flittering about

waiting for their morning 

nibble.

We now have four of them

and I love how they sit on the branches around the feeder

saying hello.

For some reason I find their conversation

very sweet.

I joined my husband for his morning walk

and it is so lovely and crisp

with the frost

having spread about the leaves

and needles on the evergreens.

This past week I finished up making some cards.

I know there are many ways to tell others

that they are important to us

and that we're thinking of them.

For me creating cards is a special way to do this.

In all of our busy lives...we need to make time 

to let others know that they are not forgotten or unseen.

To give them something small

just to let them know they're special to us.

Do you know someone that may be encouraged

to know that they are thought of?

I put together a couple little baskets

simple soap/candles/washcloths.

Something practical and lovely.

For those that the Lord has put in my life

that I see often.

Their smiles uplift me and brighten my days.

It was my parents 50th wedding anniversary

this past week.

A wonderful milestone in marriage.

Praying for them as they continue on this 

journey of life together.

This past week we also 

splurged and bought a new carpet.

No it's not very big. I was hoping for a larger size

but it is a nice

cozy spot in the middle of the room.

Our dog is quite delighted with it

and readily sprawls out to sleep...in the sunlight.

It is not too thin so that your toes can sink in as you walk across it.

We have also been blessed with finding some 

nice curtains at the free store. 

We picked up a simple curtain rod at Walmart

and my son installed it for me.

Now we'll have an extra layer of protection

from the cold on winter nights.

Thanks for dropping by today!

I'm so thankful for each of you that take

time out of your days 

to pop by!

Love and Prayers,

Jennifer
