Pray to have eyes that see the best in people, a heart that forgives, a mind that forgets the bad, and a soul that never loses faith in God.

     A good day yesterday.  We went to church, stayed for awhile afterwards visiting.  Last night we went with Doug, Nicole and Sally Jo to their church Christmas program.

Darel will probably do lots of napping today.

     Little Andrew put up our Christmas tree yesterday.   It isn't too large.  We are looking forward to lots of people Christmas Eve Day so space I'm saving space anywhere I can.Several of my plants will move into our bedroom that day to make more room.

      I spent most of the afternoon rearranging the garage.  Doug is going to help me some more today.  I want the tractor and truck in the garage so there is no more walking on ice and rough ground for Darel.  Too stressful for me to watch him!  Even though I make it as smooth as I can and put down lots of sand.  That fancy walker doesn't have 4 wheel drive!

       The Fed Co seed catalog came yesterday.  Now I need to check it against Ivy Garth and get my Ivy Garth seed order in.  The Fed Co order is a co-op order that goes in January 7th.  The ivy Garth order come in the first few days in January so  I order seeds from it that need to be started in January.  Plus some seeds are cheaper form Ivy Garth.  I've already placed one order with them for an early order discount.  I try to buy as much as i can from Fed Co because it is a Maine business and I like to support it's values.  My to do list for this week is becoming overwhelming.  I best get started on it.  Have a good day.
