ketchup

Sorry I've been so remiss about this blog. I'll do better.

Got to go home for Christmas. Snow! I forgot how pretty (and cold) it is. All the FARstudios crew were together for one short night. Had a lot of fun talking and catching up while the guys played video games. Ate ourselves silly (isn't that what you're supposed to do?). Got to briefly see old friends at church Sunday.

The Georgia crew went home to cloudy days and suspicious pets. Found our neighbor had finally succumbed to his 16 year battle with various cancers. We felt bad that we weren't here when it happened. We missed the funeral.

Ray's leave is up today (Monday, January 18). We'll miss him when he goes back to work tomorrow. The ball will also start rolling toward our reassignment. Mom is hoping for Fort Jackson in South Carolina. No telling though till we get the orders.

Evie wants to make us legal with an LLC. Mom isn't so sure that is necessary but if we want to grow, it's the way to go. Next step is to find a cheap lawyer! (Do they make such a thing?)

We love the Etsy site but are looking for other venues too. We also are going to try to stock up so we can do a craft show or flea market booth. Ho, hum - winter vacation is over I guess.

Lena, our ribbon artist, is engaged!!!! Planning an August wedding, she's begun planning in earnest. I doubt we'll see much of her work on the site this year. You never know though!

Mom is ecstatic! God gave her three beautiful daughters and now 3 handsome sons! Isn't God good!!! She's also excited about the possibility of more grandkids!!!

Ahhh! Life is so good with Jesus. He cares for us in all seasons of our lives. We have resolved this year to yearn for Him more, to seek Him more diligently, to Love Him more deeply and to obey Him more willingly. May we learn to get quiet and listen for His marching orders.

Well, as this new year begins may each of you find joy and contentment in the lives you lead under His guidance. Love ya!
