HAPPY THANKSGIVING from our homestead to yours!!!!!...God Bless you all!!!~~hugs, Jen

Hi everyone! I'm busy working on Christmas box orders, but I wanted to drop in and share a pic of my santa I got from Sherrie at our gathering on Sunday.....She got it at Ann's shop in Ridge Spring (Settler's Crossin').....I just LOVE him!!! I'm so glad I drew #1 and I chose the big pretty bag....THANKS SO MUCH Sherrie!!!

Christmas Goodes!!!

Christmas offerings are popping up here at the farmhouse on my Simple Goodes selling blog....Be sure to check them out!!

Do  you recognize anyone???? We had a gathering at Jill's beautiful home yesterday with Jill and Linda Rudman (Behind My Red Door) as hosts....In attendance were Jill, Linda, me, Dana, and Sherrie....And we had a WONDERFUL time and chatted away as if we'd known each other forever....We toured Jill's home, had a delicious meal, exchanged gifts, and chatted away....

Time passed quickly and Mr. Red Door arrived to pick up Linda....He was so friendly and got a friendly scolding from several about him not letting Linda paint her kitchen cabinets red....Something she has wanted to do for some time....

Then Dana and I were on our way....What a great day and Linda just messaged me and said she is planning for next year already....Can't wait!!!!

Tomorrow!!!! Tomorrow!!! Tomorrow is THE day!!!! I can't wait!!!!!

Hi everyone! I think I've posted this pic before, but I saw her and had to show it again because i haven't taken any new pics and I always like to show at least one every time I post...

I just wanted to pop in and let you know that there is someone very special visiting in the south and I'm meeting her on Sunday at a very special gathering that has been planned for at least 1 1/2 to 2 yrs...Sunday is FINALLY the day!! I can't wait to share it with you!!!!

Have a great weekend!!~~hugs, Jen

And greens, browns, and oranges.....LOVE these colors!!

In between everything going on today I have been playing...Playing in colors of greens, browns, and reds....While Luke had speech class with his teacher that comes to the house in the family room, I played in the kitchen with some red and blue boxes I have been saving for Christmas...Red boxes with blue lids....Stay tuned!!! :) ~~hugs, Jen

Thank you all that sent well wishes and prayers for Taylor....She worked for 3 hrs today, but felt really bad when she got home....Her teacher told her to take the rest of the week off from classes.....She was only there for 30 minutes today....Her next surgery is on December 1st....NOT looking forward to it at all!!!

ALL my orders are finished!!! I have some special things planned, so be on the lookout.... And I'm going to a VERY special gathering this Sunday that I will share with you next week...

~~hugs, Jen

I want to thank everyone that has known about my daughter's surgery and sent well wishes and said prayers....

A procedure that we were told would be easy has been nerve wrecking and emotional for me and her....We had an episode where I thought I was going to have to call 911 or my daughter was going to bleed to death in front of me....It was soooo scary and happened  so fast....I've never seen so much blood come so fast other than in a movie or tv....I think the memory will never leave me...I grabbed towels and had her lay in the hallway where she was...She was screaming and i was trying to remain calm or I would fall apart....My 4 yr old was there also and at the time I wasn't in the frame of mind to pay attention to how he was handling the situation....After Tim came in and a call to the doctor I went to the laundry room, called my mama (who lives 3 hrs away), broke down, and cried like a baby....I wasn't able to be upset while tending to her and then I fell apart emotionally....

So, I've kept a close eye on her....And she has to have this procedure again in a few weeks....This mother's heart hurts for her child tonight......

I just gave her a pain pill and will keep a close eye while she sleeps late into the night again tonight...So, I'm heading over to work on a final order to get out to try to fill my mind of other things....I've spent the evening getting my last orders ready for shipping tomorrow and Monday... Then I will get started on Christmas things as family things permit....


Please say a prayer for Taylor's healing....She has endured so much with this leg since she was born....It's so much to go into this late in the evening....Just  include her in your prayers and especially since she has to have it done again in a few weeks....She was very sad tonight with the knowledge that it has to be done again...


Thank you all sweet friends!!~~hugs, Jen
