Good morning Ladies ! I got so busy last week that I did not get a chance to sit down and post, my apologies ! I can review it here. It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas ! Just a week to go until Christmas day ! We have had some strange weather this past week alone. Last Friday we had a snowstorm that dropped 15 inches on us ! Saturday and Sunday were relatively mild in comparison . Early Wednesday it got close to 60 degrees F and snow melting . Then we had a windstorm , thunder and lightening . We were blessed though it did not do too much damage. I am counting my blessings after seeing the devastation and loss of life in Kentucky. God bless all of them affected.
On Thursday the 7th I took off and brought our son to the hospital for his latest appointment after fracturing his shinbone. He was in a full leg cast for a few weeks . When we got there they started to take it off. They use a small saw called an oscillator that cute the smallest amount into the cast. It was a little scary for my son but between myself and the technician we calmed him down ! It was good to have his leg free for a half hour or so. They did x-rays and the doctor was happy with how it is healing. They put a smaller cast on below the knee and said he could put more pressure on it walking. He is able to get around on it . He still uses a wheelchair for school. On Saturday we had friends , 3 couples and some of their kids over for lunch and to hang out for a few hours . It was a nice time ! Then in the afternoon we decorated !
On Sunday we celebrated the 3rd week of Advent or Gaudete where the rose colored candle is lit and the priests wear rose color vestments, It means rejoice , the birth of our Lord is very near ! After church it was a pretty relaxing day . Monday started a new work and school week . On Wednesday the kids Church class was cancelled due to high winds and possible tornado activity but Thank God it did not transpire. On Thursday evening our Church had their advent reconciliation or confession night with 6 visiting priests and our own parish priest hearing the sacrament. On Friday I was off as we had some workers helping out with our basement bedroom/bathroom project. One guy was doing the electrical rough in , running all the wires . The other was adding heat vents to both rooms so it is ready before sheetrock. The same guy also added a new gas line from our mechanical room to the new gas stove we ordered! I am so excited to be using a gas stove again, I could not get used to the electric one after 6 months of living here. This was the time to do it as the new bedroom is directly below the kitchen and the ceiling would be inaccessible later. Someone is lined up to take our electric stove. We have some chores today before Christmas !

We got Internet this week … YAY!!
Decorating for Christmas is so fun, but I missed out this year because of moving. We did put up a small Christmas tree and decorated the front door with garland and gingerbread men. Our new house has Christmas lights outside, I’m glad the previous owners left them for us. All my decorations are still in boxes, I guess they’ll stay there till next Christmas. I love your little Christmas village which I have too! I also collect snowmen (and snowwomen) but the box is nowhere to be found yet. If I find it I will still display them because they make a fun winter decor.
Your mug looks very festive! And the green dress is so pretty (9) especially for the Christmas season (or St. Patrick’s coming up in two months).
Blessings!

I am so glad you got your internet connection Carmen ! I know how it is to be without it in this modern world we live in . It would have been to hard for you to decorate this year , but you have nearly a year to decide how to decorate your new home. I do like our village , it is always nice to keep out after Christmas too. I hope you find your snowpeople box soon ! I must admit the mug is from a photo I found , I will have to take a selfie one though ! Thanks for the dress rating, It will indeed be good for St Patricks day. Thanks so much for visiting, enjoy some more unpacking at your own pace in the week ahead, Terri xo.

Aw, thank you so much for the sweet shoutout, Terri!! I am so glad to hear your son’s fracture is healing up well! Also, I adore your Christmas decorations- we didn’t go all out this year (mainly because we knew Moose would chew up everything!), so it’s so fun to see everyone else’s!

You are so welcome for the shoutout Mackenzie, I like that feature I added a few years back to highlight my blogging friends special moments . Our son is really coming on in leaps and bounds , He will have cast off on the 28th . Thanks for the Christmas decorations compliments , they add a lovely element to the house in these winter days. I can imagine Moose would be all over tinsel or other decorations being a puppy! Thanks for stopping by and Merry Christmas to you all, Terri xo.
