We celebrated Christmas, The Bennie's birthday, and the new house Saturday with my children ,Sunday with the village people and Monday with The Bennie's children. We will celebrate the New Year praising the Lord for his grace and mercy. ( Frank has more pictures on his blog)

What to do?

This will be our flower bed, it is going to take some serious planning.

The Dance in Birthday Man

The Bennie and his brother 1948. The Village people will be here today to party. Enlarge to see real good Frank.

We cannot know the grief
That men may borrow;
We cannot see the souls
Storm-swept by sorrow;
But love can shine upon the way
Today, tomorrow;
Let us be kind,
Upon the wheel of pain so many weary lives are broken,
We live in vain who give no tender token.
Let us be kind.
"Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love" (Rom. 12:10).

We are all most there

Please have a wonderful time with family and friends , this holiday. I will be back in a week or so with my blogger friends.

Happy Birthday

My sweet grandson

More stuff from Charlene's Tea room shop. Everything is for sell. You don't want to see my mess yet. We got the kitchen set up and the bathroom's there are only a ton of more box's to go. The Bennie said I will never get my sewing and craft things in one room. I am going to try. Enlarge Charlene's picture to get a look at the room.

Don't for get the Bird's

I am hungry

Oh no ! eating in the kitchen.

This is what we can see out the back of the house

The back of the house. At 2:3o the ice storm hit , we got back to Blytheville a head of the storm. This morning we are covered with ice and a topping of snow. I sure could have used all of you dear lady's for advice on where to put things . I think it will have to all be arranged better. Way to much stuff for a smaller space.

A Start

Today is the day we go set up our kitchen and bathrooms in the new house.

God and the Glory of the Morning

In the holy hush of the early dawn

I hear a Voice---

I am with you all the day,

Rejoice ! Rejoice !

Trivia

Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer, was created in 1939, in Chicago, for the Montgomery Ward department stores for a Christmas promotion. The lyrics were written as a poem by Robert Mays, but weren't set to music until 1947. Gene Autry recorded the hit song in 1949.

Have you seen this person?

This is what happen in town. She does not live in the Village. We know better .

Plain and Fancy Quilters Club

Christmas meeting Breakfast, no show and tell.

The blackened Sky

Rain, rain Beating against the pane! How endlessly it pores Out of doors From the blackened sky-- I wonder why! Flowers, flowers, Up springing after showers, Blossoming fresh and fair, Everywhere! Ah, God has explained Why it rained!

You can always count on God to make the " afterward" of difficulties, if rightly overcome, a thousand times richer and fairer then the forward. "No chastening ... seemeth joyous ... nevertheless afterward ... " What a yield !
