Post Thanksgiving

I have managed to get my Christmas cards designed and have half of them made. I've started my Christmas letter and have the decorations down from the attic of the garage. I got the fabric for Gracie's Christmas dress today, so I am making progress. : ) Somehow, amazing as it seems, I always manage to get everything done on time. I really haven't figured that out yet, but I think maybe I have a guardian angel that sews or something!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Jenny and Steve hosted it at their home this year and I had a glorious time just being a guest instead of doing the whole dinner. We all chipped in and brought different dishes and we had a fantastic meal. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family.

37

I just figured it out and there are only 37 days till Christmas. Guess I'd better get busy and do some serious planning. I haven't even designed my cards yet, so I guess that will be the project for this weekend. I do so love Christmas. This year will be even more special, because our oldest daughter and her husband have moved back home from Memphis. It will be wonderful.

New week

My new job started last Friday. My youngest, Betsy, has gone back to work and I have the delightful job of looking after wee Teagan. I think we will do wonderfully as I think she is a gift from heaven and she seems to think Nana is pretty special too. It is going to be fun. I didn't quit the Library completely . . . will still be working on Monday night and Wednesday night; and doing all the graphic stuff and PR work, some of it from home.

Gabe has the violin all finished and is now starting to learn to play. I think he is doing rather well, but our Maggie has a bit different opinion. I will try to capture her reaction and do a page on it. She is so funny.

Joy and blessings,

Lainie

Moving in

Since Yahoo/Geocities closed their free websites in October I haven't had a cyber home. My website "Best Friends" had been up and evolving since about 1997. I had written all the html, done it with Windows 95 and a dial-up connection, and was very proud of it. After searching for and not really coming up with a new place to do another website, my daughter Jenny suggested that I try doing a blog, so here I am!

The name of this blog pretty much describes my life. I have been blessed with a wonderful husband, four marvelous children, my precious Brittany - Maggie, and six grandchildren that are just the joy of my life. God is so good.

I hope to include some scrapbook pages, some good recipes, maybe some of my favorite quotes and being a Librarian, some suggestions for a good read. I will try to keep up with this and not bore you too much.
Joy and blessings,
Lainie
