I've been waiting for some Christmas reads to arrive so I was holding out on starting something new.  However, since they didn't arrive before the weekend, I thought I'd go ahead and start it and hopefully my Christmas books will come this week.  I also LOVE this author!

 
On the TV::::
 
I have 3 episodes of Poldark to catch up on and also an 2 episodes of "Timeless".

I'm so behind on all my other shows, that I've decided to just give up on them!
 
On the menu this week::::

Monday - Weiner Winks, French Fries, Peas, Grapes
Tuesday - Pork Chops, Cheesy Potatoes, Green Beans, Apples
Wednesday - Chicken with Stuffing, Corn, Peaches, Apple Cobbler.
Thursday - Dan's Day (My brother will bring something home, so no cooking!)
Friday - Pizza
Saturday - Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, Toast- Breakfast / Grilled Cheese, soup- Dinner
Sunday - Dinner at Church

What I am creating at the moment::::

I "FINALLY" finished Steph's Afghan.  I've been working on it off and on since about August.
 
 
 
I made it in the colors of her Living Room.
 
 
It has already been gifted and was greatly appreciated :)

 
The flower pattern is the Primavera Flower from Ravelry.


 
I don't know why, but I always like to see how they look folded up all nice and neat!
 
 
Prayers, Inspirational Quotes or Devotionals::::

"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast."

Ephesians 2:8-9 NASB
