 Christmas decor - a Silent Auction at Fairlawn Haven

where my mother lives.

She and I enjoyed a couple of strolls through the hallway...

 I saw this vanity (and a small kitchen table) on a curb.

Timidly, I walked to the front door of the house 

and asked if I could have them.  "Yes," the young man said!

Inspired by a thing or two at the Silent Auction,
I tried to get creative with this damaged chair.
It still needs some Christmas greens attached to the top, I think.

 After a little bit of recreational reading one afternoon,
my husband and I enjoyed desserts in front of the fire at Cracker Barrel.

 These were the skies the night of the bad weather taken from the car

as I traveled to visit my parents on Sunday afternoon.

Except for strong winds and some power outages, our area dodged the storm.

My heart breaks for all who are experiencing so much devastation and loss over the past week(s).

 Mother and I enjoyed "rubbing" the designs on this gadget one afternoon,

and I potted this aloe vera plant--a gift from a friend who divided hers.
Last night, I met a group of new friends in a lovely home.
I was blessed with this gift bag which included my first official piece of DeBrand Chocolate!

This morning, my husband and I travel to be with his family
at the visitation for his mother (funeral tomorrow)
who died Saturday evening.

Random.  I TOLD you so!
Some days/weeks go pretty much as planned.
Others, not so much.
 Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
