This weekend was just what I needed. It became a very long
weekend for me… as I had Wednesday off due to parent/teacher conferences and I
ended up taking Tuesday off after suffering a migraine for two days. On Monday night, I slept for 11 hours and
then rushed to clean the house before my massage that afternoon. I wanted to be able to relax after the
massage and not have to worry about cleaning afterwards.
On Wednesday, I ran a couple errands in the morning and then came home to make Monkey Bread. I have been craving it for a while so I finally bought the biscuits so I could make it. I then spent the afternoon doing my Bible study and enjoying my time off.
Thanksgiving morning, I started the day off with the Lord… I am
reading through the book of Proverbs and going through the study on
forgiveness… but I also took some time to reflect on the many things I have to
be thankful for this year. 2020 has definitely
been an interesting year but it has also been a good year. This extra time at home has allowed me time
to drink mate and spend quality time in the word without having to get up extra
early… I am not a morning time so it has been a blessing I will miss when I go
back to the building. I could share many
more blessings but that would make this post way too long…
Matthew and I hosted my family for Thanksgiving… Jimmy and Karen
came over with the kids and Kim and Keb came over with the girls. Matthew’s friend Cooper also joined us for
the day, so he didn’t have to spend it alone.
It was a relaxing evening at the house with a lot of good food. We don’t see each other enough so we spend
hours together just visiting. The kids
(or should I say young adults since they are not so little anymore) get along
so well. They played games together…
whether it be on their devices or card games… it was fun to see them all
interacting and having a good time together.
Before everyone left the house was almost all cleaned up, so I finished
the last few things and went to bed content.
On Friday, I had my quiet time in the morning… it was been so
good these days off since I have hours I can spend with the Lord… Afterwards, I
headed to the store for my annual Black Friday shopping… at Costco to stock up
on meat for the year. They have great
sales on meat, and we were running low in the freezer… now we just need to cut
it up and we are good to go for a while.
That evening Aaron and Jennyfer Tibbets came over for a few
hours while before they flew back to Florida.
It was so much fun to visit with them.
We have remained in contact even more so since we stayed with them on
our last trip over the summer. One of
AJ’s childhood friends even stopped by to see them for a bit. It was a great evening of together… I wished
they could have stayed longer.
Saturday was another relaxing day… I did my morning quiet time
with mate and worship music. Matthew and
I then talked to Bev. It has been awhile
since we’ve had a chance to find out what was new in her and Len’s life… they
are busy selling houses and moving.
The gas to our house was cut off due to a neighbor so Matthew
ended up building me a fire to keep the house warm. I spent the afternoon laying on the couch
watching a Christmas moving, eating leftover turkey sandwiches for lunch,
reading my book and finally watching the Husky game. It was the perfect day. Especially since the Huskies ended up winning
the game by scoring a touch down in the last minute of the game… after being
down 21-0 at the half-time. They haven’t
overcome a 21-point deficit since 1988 so it was quite an amazing game for
them…
