Happy December! I hope your Thanksgiving was blessed and full of reasons to give thanks. We are especially grateful this season for my husbands remission from very aggressive lymphoma. We pray for continued remission and are grateful to all our friends and love ones who have uplifted us and supported us during this stressful time. Hubby and I started a tradition when we were dating that if we were in orphan mode ( too far away from family to have Thanksgiving with them) then we found a community organization to volunteer to help them with Thanksgiving lunch. This year it was the Salvation Army in Lubbock. It warmed our hearts to see so many volunteers. Often there has been a paucity of help in other places. This organization does so much to help those in need. My plug for them is this is their greatest fund raising time so when you see a red kettle drop in some coins and be grateful you can help.
We got to get out yesterday and even though overcast was a beautiful fall day in Lubbock. I have enclosed some pics of a local park we took the "bosses" to. Still haven't figured out the waterfowl here as we are a loooong way from the ocean yet we have seen Ibis, sea gulls, and a pelican! They are either very confused or I am!
We have been busy creating for Christmas. We are still trying to get the Etsy shop moving so please check it out and tell your friends about us. This week was a lot of pendants and a few earrings. Life partner is back on track with his antique watch re-purposing. I think he has some pretty good ones and he is using a lot of the rubies that are in the old 17 jewel watches. Makes for a particular good combo for Christmas time. Remember any feedback is appreciated.
