November 2020

What - November ?  

How did this happen so fast!

Staying away from carbs and found this chick pea pasta!

I love it  💓 So delicious

And this one ~ he's a challenge.   Ball of LOVE though

He is catching up to big brother also.

Couldn't resist this little guy for my gingerbread collection

Oh 2020 !

I got a little crafty - saw this on Hallmark

Made mine much smaller 

See the little lights ?

Ara you are just so cute !

This just made me belly laugh.

A Facebook game 

"What would your baby version look like".

And the funny part is it really looks like I did as a baby.

And I would be sporting that PINK bikini. HAH

No one tell Judah he is too chubby for this.

Bless his little 💓

Our attempt at a family photo

We put up our tree 🎄 with fingers crossed that 

Ara would not climb and topple it.

Aunt Rose and I did our annual tradition 

of packing our Samaritan's Purse Shoe boxes

🎁 🎁 🎁 🎁 🎁 🎁 🎁 🎁 🎁 🎁

I love this Richard Fuller writes: “This, Christian,

is what you must do. Sometimes, like Paul, you can

see neither sun nor stars, and no small tempest lies

on you. Reason cannot help you. Past experiences

give you no light. Only a single course is left. You

must stay upon the Lord; and come what may --

winds, waves, cross seas, thunder, lightning,

frowning rocks, roaring breakers -- no matter what,

you must lash yourself to the helm and hold fast to

your confidence in God's faithfulness

and His everlasting love in Christ Jesus.”

This precious little curious boy.

So far he has not knocked it down.

But he sure likes to get under it. 🎄

Using up my vacation days

A great afternoon with my Grinch and nice

hot cocoa from Starbucks  ☕

Due to virus we all stayed at home for Thanksgiving 

Hubby and I had a delicious turkey meal all cooked 

from Shoprite.

                  🍁🍂

Hubby got this amazing pie from

Whole Foods. I am not really a cake

or pie person. I prefer ice cream or

chocolate candy. But this pie won

me over !  It was the most delcious

pie I ever ate.

Mom sent us a nice greeting 

Love 💓 her avatar looks just like her HAH

And here I am HAH

This is what the boys did for Thanksgiving and

they didn't even eat turkey.

Hubby found this guy in the dryer at the laundromat.

Ara had slipped it in his dirty clothes bag.

I ordered a new book for 2021 !

Oh gosh I love it so much !

Where has this been all my life ?

And this boy still loves his Mommy.

Doesn't matter how old he gets.

💓Judah💓

November has been blessed in this

different kind of year.

So thankful we are still safe and healthy

So thankful for Jesus 💓 

Hello December bring on the JOLLY !

Then I celebrated a good cardiologist 💓 appointment ! 

It was a lovely birthday

So many beautiful wishes sent my way  

We celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary 💓👰👫

We went to one of our favorites restaurants - MP Taverna

As you can see the food is fabulous.

Then I had a GOD WINK 👍

I have always loved Michael Psilakis the Greek chef from food network. 

Years ago Gary took me to Kefi his restaurant in NYC. I kept saying do 

you think he is here. I was to embarrassed to ask

Low and behold on the way out I bump into him coming in. 

Saw him for a second. 

 Well today years later at Mp Taverna his other restaurant 

I see this guy and swore it was him. Gary said he didn't think

 it was him. Hard to tell with masks. Suddenly he is at our table 

asking us if we need anything this time I was bolder. I said are 

you Michael he said yes. Then I proceeded to gush HAH 

We chatted a bit.

He could not have been nicer. GOD WINK

This boy is obsessed with my water cooler and

the bubbles it makes and he loves 💓 his Father 

Found the cutest pot holder

Can't wait to get baking for the holiday 🎄🎅

Due to covid I have not seen my co-workers

since the beginning of March.

Working with folks for 36 years it is hard.

But on Oct 30th we all came in for Inventory

It was so nice to see everyone.

Go away covid

My goodness these months are just flying past.

Our crazy Ara still keeps us laughing. 

Had a little fun had to put all my boys together

My trip to Sight and Sound was cancelled due to Covid.

So thankful I got to view it on TV.

It was great and when the time is right Lord willing I will

see it live with my friends.

Ordered this adorable pillow 💓

They are sort of bonding though you would never know it

by Judah's expression. HAH

1st Selfie with my little guy Ara

Did a little Fall decorating ~ makes me so happy !

Our take out food box ~ this precious boy 🐱

Poor big brother resorted to lock up for

 some peace and quiet. 

What a character this kitten is:

Sound asleep

This is just because he is adorable !  HAH

Yes I am a October Girl  ~  it's coming up 🌻🍁🍂

When it gets cooler I 💓 to get baking   

I completed my 550 pc puzzle  

I love all things UK 

I this portion of this devotional. For such a time as this:

The world has always been the world. Wild. Unpredictable.

And broken. And Jesus has always been Jesus. Steadfast.

Faithful. Powerful. The Psalms remind me of what is real.

The thing is hope will never be found in the headlines.

That is where fear and anger reside.

Headlines were made to get us whipped up.

They unsettle us, making us

doubt the goodness in the world we live in.

But the truth of Jesus's Word . . .

His holy truth . . . is meant to anchor us with peace.

To still our beating hearts in the midst of the storm.

To lift our heads and get us focused on

the One who is truly good.

The One who is in charge and loves us most of all.

That would be Jesus.💓

Susanna Foth Aughtmon

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow

of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1 NIV

Pasta with Pumpkin and Sausage - delicious

On the road day with Hubby 💓

1st stop Breakfast

 

Ran across this covered bridge. I love them

Then we went to Peddlers Village in PA

The grounds were beautiful

Hubby has wanted RAOS for so long but

they have few tables and they are always

reserved.  Well due to the virus they are doing

takeout.  Hubby drove to NYC and brought

dinner home !

I had chicken marsala and hubby had linguine with clam sauce.

Both were delicious.  And two huge meatballs.

Another loss for my cowboys 🏈 not doing much dancing so far. 

I was beginning to feel like a slug with this working

from home pandemic stuff.

I got motivated and started exercising again. 🏃

Moving on to October ~ 🎃

My birthday🍰 and anniversary month 👰 ~!
