The Girls Arrive! Thanksgiving Holiday 2024

 Wednesday, November 27

Boy,  this was a busy day!!  Autumn, Hannah, and Kylee are driving here today for Thanksgiving vacation.  I was up early cleaning.  

Sweeping all floors and then mopping.  

Vacuuming all carpets and rugs.  

Emptying all the garbage.  

I cleaned the downstairs bathroom and my bathroom.  

I did the dishes and cleaned the counters.  

I dusted and cleaned the sliders.  

I finished up the girls' bathroom with a new shower liner, put the rugs back, and left clean towels.  

I vacuumed their bedroom, blew up the air mattress, and made sure all the beds were made.  

Summer and I gave both cats a bath and trimmed their nails.  I also trimmed up all the long hair on Nugget's belly and underside.  

I cleaned the laundry room.  

I fed my starter and made a loaf of sourdough.  

Right before they arrived, I got in a shower!

Eric mowed the whole lawn and set up his smoker for the turkey.  He also assembled my new island chairs!
















The girls arrived around 3pm.  Hannah brought me a fall pillow and a bouquet of beautiful flowers!  How very sweet and I loved them.  

After they arrived, I practically turned around and started to prepare dinner.  Yes, it never ends.  Ha!  I made shepherd's pie for dinner along with brownies and ice cream for dessert.






After dinner, Summer and Hannah made two pumpkin pies and a peanut butter pie.  Summer was in heaven having a friend to bake with her.  I thought it was so kind of Hannah to do that with her.









Sierra was helping Autumn with a speech she was writing.  Then she made the pickle rolls for the next day.

I am so thankful for my girlies being here!

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
