Hubby got a "Wubby" and other stuff!

Well to start...I did let go of the forest scenery on here...too cluttered.
New Years resolution #1--Get rid of clutter...
clutter of the brain, the heart, my emotions and my house!
**got two new books this Christmas- Joyce Meyers: "100 Ways To Simplify Your Life" and Don Piper: "90 Minutes In Heaven".

Now to Hubby...hehehe
We definitely pulled the wool over his 50 year old eyes!

Surprise party...my eldest took him shopping the Sunday before his 50th B-day (Christmas Day) and used the excuse she needed to buy gift cards at our favorite Italian restaurant. Well...stubborn Joe refused to enter the restaurant when he recognized a couple cars in the parking lot (he didn't want to be seen buying gift cards). Well, 22 yr old girls can still have hissy fits! She even resorted to stomping her feet in the car to get him to walk in with her. SURPRISE!



Then Santa came...


Then he got his "wubby"...this is what a gal gets her man when she tires of nagging him about his old dusty T-shirts...not an original idea...got it from an old sitcom.


To end this post all I have to give is thanks.
Thanks to a wonderful seamstress. It was worth it!
Thanks to my family.
Thanks to God for much laughter shared, for trials and minor pitfalls during this hectic season, thanks for memorable events, thank you God for great food (even for the return of power Christmas Eve just minutes before dinner was to be served-the butternut squash soup got pureed to perfection), thanks for just enough funds and our first Christmas without using credit cards, thanks for the two words to ponder on this past week when I was weakening.

"Power hungry"... it's true meaning isn't quite defined but every time I get frustrated with people and events around me...those two words bring calm to a hectic situation. I see where I need to let God take control.

Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Dear Sweet Father of Creation!
Happy New Year!
