The Most Beautiful Christmas Tree Ever
A special thank you to the Tompkins, the Beaudets, and the Hays! They shipped boxes to Alaska all through the year so I could have my cherished Christmas decor right here in Fairbanks. I am quite sentimental about Christmas and this "green stuff" (quoting Lynn Tompkins) means so much to me.
This year our family Christmas tree is the most beautiful that it has ever been - thanks to the love each item brought with it all the way from Greenville. Thank you my dear friends. I love you so much!
And while I am thanking...Judy Pristash, you bring tears to my eyes every time I think of all the special items you sent to us, including my Grandmother's china and the red willow china Kim Zeller gave me. I am honored to be your friend.

Pretty interesting. I don’t find the dark depressing, but it does make me sleepy! (I’ve taken to drinking doctored up coffee to wake me up!) I feel like a bear hibernating! J The sun doesn’t rise above the tree line anymore. It is one long sunrise/sunset. Just beautiful.

Ol' Man Tucker
Old Man Tucker was a fine ol' man,
Washed his face in a frying pan,
Picked his teeth with a wagon wheel,
And had a toothpick in his heel.

My Heart
Oh, I am a tornado of mixed emotions. I am beside myself with glee that our very first guests are coming in a few weeks bringing a bit of home and lots of love with them. Mom, Dad, Sarah, William and Talitha! Then in the next moment, I am sooooo forlorn that I couldn't bring up Jonathan, Rebekah, and Hailey. Then in the next moment I am blue about not seeing GG and Granddaddy, and ALL Chris's family...Laura, Greg, the kids, Memama, Grandmother, Aunt Janice...oh the list goes on!
And then I kick myself because I have no right to be less than perfectly satisfied with what the LORD gives me. When we moved up here, we took the risk of faith that we may not see any of our family for years...and now we are preparing for the first of them to head up here. Thank you, God, for your abundant giving to us. We are so grateful.
I love you, God, with all that is in me. I will trust You completely to the end of my days. Complete syncronicity with the Spirit - that is my goal.
You won't relent until You have it all...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fAQJ8pTt7o
