Happy New Year!

I am glad things are soon to be back to normal.

Glad to that most of you had a wonderful holidays!

I 've been doing some thinkin about how much i miss the Christmas Celebrations on the north.

I feel like there were more to do there. Funny eh! 

We have theaters and malls,,But nothing like the great out-doors.

Around the city it takes like 20 minutes to get somewhere bus takes an hour.

The Sledding and then the wiener roasts!

Wonderful Memories!

Yesterday i sewed a friend an apron.

Often Bev will say..what a good Mennonite cook i am, So i decided to sew her an apron. I think it looks Mennonite.

I am gonna give it to her tonight.

Tonight i plan to hang out there for the evening.

Yeah...all i have for now..everybody stay sober 'K" LOL

I feel like i am just waiting for the holidays to be over.

Plans to go west were cancelled..last minute.

I cried and was very disappointed for days. 

Funny i really hoped things would work out and yet i felt they were not to be.

I also was thankful i spent Christmas with Gord and Bev.

They are awesome people and so thankful for their hospitality over the holidays.

Last couple Years I have felt very lost.

Something about parents be around brings..lets just say, Home is where the heart is!

I miss my family!

I took my tree down couple days ago. And cleaned up the holiday mess.

I still have yummy things laying around. Good thing i put some things in the freezer.

Last night i was at a movie called Brothers. Was good to be out of the house.

A friend invited me to go to Ottawa to watch a Hockey game.

So i said yes I'd like to go along. I was to leave this morning.

Again last minute..that didn't work out!

Good Friends from home sent a gift so i can go.

I really am trying not to feel disappointed. accepting all this has been really rough.

I keep trying to remind myself that Life is not about me.

You can pray for me.  I have felt some rejection this holiday season.

I would really appreciate your prayers. Love MJ

So i 

Just taking a few picture's for my new prayer card. I like this one except it has the christmas tree in the back. Would their be any way of taking it out?

Just in case you were wondering what i did today.
 I decide to bake today. I feel like a great Mennonite..jk.

We were supposed to have a pot-luck this evening and thought i'd make a dessert for it. So i made this chocolate roll cake...then biblestudy got cancelled:(

I can always find ways of sharing it i suppose.

And i can always use bread. Now i need a nap. later!

I tried this ice candle thingy. I wondered how you make the whole in the centre..Instead before it got to frozen i poked through the ice and drained out the water that wasn't frozen yet. Must be an easier way? anyone know how?

Well...I was out on a walk and decided to come home. I was wanting to get more twigs from the bush and turned around as soon as i saw a man. It's sure felt refreshing to be out there.

Saturday night i had two girls over for supper and really had a nice time with them. I think i had more fun then they did. Just the fact the we were laughing and talking nonsense. 

Sunday which was Yesterday, A group of 12 were here for dinner. 

It was nice because they brought the lunch and i made the dessert and coffee.

Rick and Linda Martin from Sioux Lookout are here this week. Linda is coming over for abit this evening.

I think they are both coming over Thursday for supper also.

The reason for the twigs is i am making centre pieces for our church's Christmas banquet. I really hope to get those done by Thursday.

Rick will be sharing with us that evening. It's always a privilege to serve in this way.

That is our church's biggest outreach of the year. Think about us...pray!

As soon as i have the centre pieces all done i will post pictures...until then have a wonderful week! MJ

Making centre pieces for our Christmas banquet. I need some suggestions.

I thought i would try these little twigs painted white, they have some white glitter on them. Which you cannot see. 

They will sit on  red table clothe.

If you think of anything that can be added. Please write your suggestion down. later...mj
