Sue, I’m doing Ann’s devotional book too, and I love how she keeps emphasizing slowing down, just being. I look forward to going through it next year too. I’ll have to send you a list of some of my grandchildren’s favorite books soon… xoxo

Whew! Where have the weeks gone, I ask you? Christmas Eve tomorrow night. I am reading Ann Voskamp,s “The Greatest Gift”, it has been such a blessing to me as I prepare for Christmas, making me reevaluate my priorities, and SLOW down and breathe in the season. Anyway, I highly recommend it for your Advent season next year. Also, my grandchildren are four and almost two, any book recommendations are very welcome. Have a blessed Christmas and I am keeping you and your family in my prayers. Love you, Sue

Hi Sam–what a pleasant surprise to see your comment! Thank you. I’ll have to step it up in the doggy department and post something about Edith and millie soon… ;). I hope you’re staying warm. Our thermometer said 15 below this morning. xo

Long-time reader, first-time comment-er! You know that I visit, though, as I awkwardly mention it in work e-mails. 🙂 I always enjoy your writings, and pictures – especially of the puppies. Hope you’re staying warm!!!

In reply to Kristi. Kristi, I hardly know what to say in response to your incredibly affirming words! You are a treasure and I'm so thankful for the way the Lord has put us in each others' lives. You bless me with your understanding, intellect, honesty and grace. Love you friend! xoxo

Hello, my friend! So honored to be named in your wonderful, insightful, transparent, encouraging, humorous, real, heartfelt, soul searching, eloquent and Jesus loving blog! I love how God has brought us together and so appreciate your wisdom and the truth you speak into my life. I can so relate to some of the things you are experiencing with the changes in Michael’s health. As a daughter of someone with a chronic debilitating neurological disease, I understand the grief felt with each step of that. Each loss of function requires an adjustment to a new normal. People in your home, giving up control, apprehension with caregiver’s doing “your job”, worrying about Michael’s vulnerability…..God will protect and provide and bring the perfect people. Your desire to walk out your days as a loving wife with total dependence on God is inspiring. He will lead you, strengthen you, and prepare you for each day and each change. Praying for both you and Michael. Love to you down the snowy walkway between our homes!!

In reply to Sue. I'm so glad your granddaughter likes that book, Sue! Mine never fail to laugh when I read it to them. Tell me some ages and I'll make some more recommendations to you! Blessings... xoxo

Thank you for your blog, I enjoy reading so much! I was reading several weeks ago and loved your post about your favorite books for your grandchildren, I quickly pulled up Amazon and ordered three of them! My granddaughter just loves “WHAT Cried Granny!” We have read it over and over, and I thank you for your suggestions, they were all a hit. Feel free to offer more reading ideas!
It has been a crazy couple of days weather-wise, but also a wonderful opportunity to sit and be amazed how beautiful a blizzard can be.

Poor Kirby! I don’t know what would be worse for me, Ganeida — hot and muggy or way below zero. I need to move to the mountains of North Carolina where it’s more temperate winter and summer. 🙂 xoxo

{{{Hugs}}}. I can’t imagine your weather. IT is hot, muggy & stormy here & Kirby has hidden under the house & won’t come out for tea. I love your cardinal warmer! How lovely!
