December 1st Advent Window 1

Received the coolest Advent Calendar ever today!  Sara and Grahm Nicol sent me a desktop(on my computer) Advent Calendar of London.  #1 was on Big Ben ( my favorite sight in London) and featured a family in a clock serving turkey and a figgy pudding ( my favorite sign of Christmas in the UK)!  LOVE IT! 
#1 on All Saints Calendar reads..."The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light."  Isaiah 9.1

Finished my numbering for JYC2011 last night and am ready to start that as well!  Oh, Boy!

I LOVE MICHIGAN!

Was in my beautiful home state for a week...lucky lucky me!   Saw most of my family and some friends.  Watched MSU whomp on U of M.  Celebrated my Momma's 80th birthday for most of the week.  Enjoyed "Jersey Boys" with Kelli Sue and Mom.   Saw beautiful fall color!  Witnessed an exceptional sunset.  Drank great coffee!  And saw addditions to my parent's house.  Can You Say ..."FAB-U-LOUS!"?   (Interesting trivia...Mom born 1931 turned 80, Kelly born 1961 just turned 50, Kelli Sue born 1991, just turned 20!)
