Thank you all my friends and family who take the time to read my mutterings on this blog.  Merry Christmas to you and to those of you who do not celebrate Christmas, have a blessed week. I am greatly looking forward to the new year and all our adventures together…quilts, books, family, music, love, faith, and joy…may they all be part of your life and mine.  We are going to the candles and carols service tonight at church at 7, and then come home and have the chicken and dumplings I have cooking away in my slow cooker.  Thank the Lord for slow cookers and sewing machines, and computers, and all the material blessings that make my life easier and more fun.  And thank Him especially for His coming to save me and mine and fill me with happiness and for my family and friends.  Merry Christmas to all and let the celebration begin!   Can I say it again?  Merry Christmas to all!
