I received the best Christmas card this year that I probably have ever gotten! I am going to keep it out so I can remind myself throughout this new year how to keep the Christmas spirit. I am going to share it with you and hope that it is a blessing!
This Christmas...
Let's give a little Jesus, a thoughtful word or deed,
an act of generosity for someone who's in need.
Let's give a little Jesus to everyone we meet,
the salesclerk or the server, the person on the street.
Let's give a little Jesus, that's what really counts
not what's spent or bought, for whom, in what amounts.
Let's give a little Jesus to everyone, large or small...
For Jesus, the Messiah, is the greatest gift of all!
Merry Christmas to all and until next time...

Renovation Realities...
Have you ever seen that show on DIY called Renovation Reality? I have seen it a few times and have laughed at the frustrations that the couples face on television and even told Tim there is no way I would go through that, I don't think Tim and I would have the patience to go through a remodel. Well...never, say never!!!
We decided to be brave, put on our big girl panties and do a remodel! We actually swapped bedrooms with the girls and built them a closet. Poor Bill Neal, I'm surprised he is still talking to me...he built the closet. And Kevin put the shelves inside the closet. The frustrations came when they were trying to find studs in a 100 year old house. Also let me add that the room the girls were moving into was a wine color and I wanted it painted a light pink! Yep, light pink--because their bedroom furniture was black.
Anyway, after kiltz, paint, no sleep, backaches, mean looks, short tempers, and "I'm sorry's" we finally got the rooms done and like everyone on the real Renovation Reality...we were glad we done it!
