It's that time of year again .... Sigh.
It seems like it was just here - and some of our Christmas from last year, has only JUST finally gotten to get out and be enjoyed.
So on one hand, we are still overwhelmed from all the moving, rearranging, and compacting, decluttering, and cleaning that has encompassed our life for the past 6 - 9 months. We are tired and somehow just not "feeling" the "normal" seasonal excitement. Things have mostly stayed the same - or slowly deteriorated (the normal "stuff wears out" kind).
So there aren't much to our wishes ... more on the Wants and Needs. But the last thing any of us are wanting is clutter ... if you don't know what to get us ... give us something edible and nutritious. I'll list some of their favorites - which are often rare treats around here.
AND we will keep praying that Tim will get a job ... which would be the most wonderful gift of all this year.
