Come ye thankful people, come

All is safely gathered in, ere the winter storms begin.
God our Maker doth provide for our wants to be supplied;
Come to God’s own temple, come, raise the song of harvest home.

Picture of the Week

Not because it’s so great….but because I haven’t taken any others so this was my only option.  Although…I should take a picture of Susannah’s black eye from falling under the table and hitting her head.  Oh well….this will have to do.

Holiday Baking Continued

Well, it’s been a few weeks since I’ve checked anything off of my holiday bakelist.  Between being sick, out of town, having visitors, and just generally being busier than I expected, it just hasn’t happened the way I had my little list outlined.  Today I got back in gear and made my moms yummy fudge [...]
