Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Colossians 4:6

Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

Long time no blogging...

It is tough to write blog posts and mess with pictures when you have company for a week and a half!  Starting to get my home back in order this week after the folks left Monday.  Not that they or my other guests were messy mind you, they are not, it is just difficult to dust and haul around a vacuum cleaner when you have company.  Fortunately, it was pretty easy to stay on top of laundry with my one load a day method.  My parents came in the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and stayed until this Monday.  Prior to that a family from Wisconsin came to visit for the weekend, arriving Friday and leaving Monday.  I turned around the basement bathroom and sleeping area quickly to accommodate my guests.  I felt like a hotel for a bit there!  So, like I said.  I have been spending the week playing catchup and preparing for Christmas.  We are traveling this year so I have to get my shopping done early.  At least I will go into the holiday ahead of the game in that respect.  We will be spending some time with my parents and the rest of the time with my hubby's family at my SIL house.  I am grateful as well that I will be getting to spend Christmas day with my family.  Selfish of me, I know, but my SIL is spending the day with her significant other's family so I could do nothing but comply.  No arguments about it at least for another couple of years.  Sometimes it is nice when something is decided for you and it works out in your favor.  In the mean time I am trying to remember the reason for the season.  I promise I will post pictures again soon.  I say that in every post lately, but I am working on it.  Well tonight is a busy one as we have Ainsley's Christmas Concert tonight.  It will be very crowded, but cute.  Once again I am off as I need to do the school run here shortly.  Have a great weekend everyone.  Birthday celebrating at our house...what to do what to do.  Red Velvet cake for me!

One load a day? Keeping up with laundry on one load a day? I can't keep up doing two loads a day! My goodness my people are dirty.

Hope you are doing well, sweet Margie. Missed your blogging.

Well, let me correct that. I do three loads on Monday. Otherwise, I do one load a day. I also do my hubby's dress shirts separately so as to avoid a dry cleaning bill. You also have 2 more children than I do so that adds to your laundry pile as well. I will say that football season this year did add significantly to my washers workload!
We are all well here, just busy with school and other activities.
