the new year is coming.

We are working on clean up. It is a year around thing, however  we seem to focus more on it at the begining of a new year. We both work part time off the farm so need to find more ways to manage our time better. Organization is a issue all the time. I enjoy being busy, but I am always looking for more efficient ways to do things. We seem to make time for the fun things, but need to work on the neccessary things. They are part of life and maybe not as enjoyable as the fun things. I enjoy the sewing, crafts  and remaking things. I alway make things that are useful, usually  for organization and managment of everyday life..
The Lord has been good to us this year and blessed our family, children and grandchildren. We have been blessed with addition of 3 grandchilren and 1 great grandchild this year. One granddaughter became engaged, Two have found jobs. One grandson will leave for the Army on the 19th of January. Four of our grandchildren celebrated Birthdays in December.

New Job

I have accepted the position of Church Secretary, It is a part time job. I could not ask for a better place to work or a better enviorment.
Part time is also the perfect fit for me now. I enjoy being busy and it gives time to work on my projects.
I have made some aprons for the grandchildren, can do my baking, and other crafts. I have several projects on my list and will be able to do them and work. Hubby has been working insurance this past week, the farm chores, feeding cattle and working on taking more things to recycle plant. We can always use the extra cash and it does help to tidy things up quite a bit..I will try to post some pictures of my projects later. It is a very busy time of year, with planned Christmas events, family gatherings. I really enjoy the hustle and bustle this time of year, even when it a time crunch to get things done on time.  I just remember why we celebrate the season and know it is well worth the effort. This year has a little added stress with starting a new job just before Christmas, it reminds me why I should do better when planning our gathering. It makes me glad I had a much done as I did. I should have been working at faster pace, instead of taking my time, because I thought I had plenty of it.
Here's wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!!!
