Living the Simple Life

I am finally back at HomesteadBlogger!

 Good Morning, it is good to be back here at HomesteadBlogger. It has been a very busy time for our entire family since the day after Thanksgiving. On the Friday following Thanksgiving my grandson came down with a cold and was very sick for over a week. My daughter being a new mom and all, was understandably stressed and grandma helped her out to get her through this first cold (we all remember what it is like to be a new mom). SO them grandma got it  and was down for quite a bit longer than I had expected. I hate those colds that drag on and on but what is there to do but take your medicine, rest and drink plenty of fluids like the doctors always tell us. The cold turned into bronchitis and then into a severe sinus infection so here we are almost a month later and I am finally feeling better.

Christmas decorations have all been put up and the trees are all decorated here at home. I have the presents wrapped and under the tree and I think we are all pretty well ready for the big day here at home. I have a costume to finish up for my niece who will be playing the part of Mary at our church’s Christmas eve ceremony but that will be finished up by the end of today and them I cam sit back and enjoy the rest of our celebrations.

I hope all of you here at HomesteadBlogger have been well and are enjoying these few days before we celebrate the birth of Our Savior Jesus Christ.

Preparedness, when properly pursued, is a way of life, not a sudden, spectacular program. -- Spencer W. Kimball, 1976
