New Year's On It's Way

WoW! I like this - cause Christmas decorations were down and put away in about 20 minutes! It consisted of putting the Christmas Angel in two kitchen trash bags and storing it the cellar; and taking the figurines and storing them in the glass topped table the angel stands on. Well...there was that wreath just outside the door...and the mistletoe ball...and a few other items... but I left them for Frances to deal with. Keep Smiling folks!

These figurines are quickly and easily hidden in a mirror-ed table which we use year round. These and the Christmas Angel are our major decorations these days.

Christmas is past. Here comes 2010 roaring down the track towards us. Oh My!

I'm leaving in just a few minutes to go and purchase food that we will need to feed approximately 30 men at the Cabin on January 1st. No women allowed. We'll have a great time cooking and eating but will also have guitars, fiddle, key-board, accordion, and lots of noisy off-key singing. It's an annual tradition here.

Then I'll need to really dig in my heels as I have promised my two daughters who live near us that each Friday night I'll cook their supper - for them and their spouses and children living at home. In exchange for that they must give me thirty minutes of their time so I can teach them the Bible. I'll be using the outlines written by Alan B. Stringfellow, published by Hensley Publishing Company. These are fantastic outlines - full of Bible knowledge - and designed to be done in 52 weeks. They are the same outlines I've been using at the Tellico Plains Church of God - but I plan to start with Genesis for the children. I started at Tellico the first Sunday of September 2009 and I'm now in Isaiah.

Friend Ed Williams is here to go shopping.
