“Rejoice! rejoice, believers, and let your lights appear!”

Oh my. Daughter #1 and I had a long “to do” list for Friday-Saturday and we checked off everything! Yay us.

We took apart the crib in one bedroom and moved it to another. Then moved a stationery bike and a desk into the other room. We hung new drapes in the living room. We cleared the mantle and all surfaces in the living room and dining room.

We brought up all the Christmas decorations from the basement and unpacked them.

We put up the little tree in the dining room.

My newest handmade ornament–do you recognize the wee babes?

We took her car to the dealer for new tires and then dropped by the boy’s store with birthday donuts.

Daughter #1 put up the outdoor lights.

On Sunday we got up and cooked the boy’s favorite brunch menu (Episcopal souffle) for a birthday brunch.

Then daughter #1 headed back to mid-MO so she could get some things done at her own home. Phew. I was tuckered out and very thankful for all her help!

Now it is back to work at the salt mine.

“Therefore, keep awake—for you do not know when the master of the
house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or at
dawn, or else he may find you asleep when he comes suddenly. And
what I say to you I say to all: Keep awake.” (Mark 13:37)
