Reading up on the weather forecasts we decided that last Friday would be a good day to do our last Christmas shopping in Spokane. The roads were clear and sun was shining. We went to our usual stores, Home Depot, TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, Hobby Lobby, Trader Joe's and Costco. After we got done with most of the stores we decided to enjoy an Anniversary lunch at Clinkerdagger. It was fun for us to read that Clinkerdagger was established in 1974 so they celebrate the same anniversary year as us. When we were done we made our last stop at Costco and headed home.
A dear friend of ours who we enjoyed card nights with was called up to heaven on Monday the 4th of December. Her memorial service was at our church on Saturday. Greg and me and other helpers were in charge of the reception for the family. The service was lovely and her love for Jesus was testified to by her children, grandchildren and husband. We will miss her.
On Saturday Evening, Dear and I finished this difficult jigsaw puzzle that my sister Lana and I started when she was here over Thanksgiving.
Our Colville kids enjoyed Bethlehem Revisited at Colville Community church and our Grands got to enjoy animals and crafts.
Sunday we woke up to 6 inches of snow.
I tried to get artsy...
We drove to church slowly and carefully. Our adult Sunday School sessions are on the topic of forgiveness. Sunday sermon was from Isaiah and all about our Lord Jesus Christ. We must worship the Babe in the Manger.
After church we enjoyed lunch up at our Colville kids' home. We got to see the lassos and dreidels and mallets our grands enjoyed making at Bethlehem Revisited. Here's a shot of the views from their driveway as we drove home.
The fog had settled down on us. Thankful that our son had plowed his driveway before they left for church.
Our Christmas Cards are all addressed and sent, always a good feeling of relief.
This new week I'm hoping to deck the halls and share the decked halls soon.
O Come let us adore him...
