The First of December
I can't believe that December is here! We've been very ill for the last several days. We had a lovely Thanksgiving, but that evening, I developed a high fever. At first, I was concerned with my incision (infection?) but as it turns out, it was flu. I am still running a low grade fever and feel very tired and weak. The boys are mending quickly, thank the Lord. The worst of it for them was the first 24 hours. My leg is very bruised and still swollen and painful. It's been difficult to do my daily tasks and so the boys are pitching in with laundry and such. The biopsy results have not come in, and it looks as though I will wait another week for them.
We don't have our trees up yet, which has never happened! We will start this evening with some decorating and hopefully, be ready once the weekend comes. When I'm able, I want to take a walk around the farm to gather greens for garland. I'm planning a Christmas open house for friends and neighbors next weekend, so I pray that we can get well and stay well for the festivities.There's much to be done! I am making my "to do" list. I noticed that I need to polish the silver punch bowl. It seems only yesterday, I put it away! It only comes out for Christmas, and makes things seem so special. We have a bit of snow on the ground now which only adds to the charm of the season. There is much to look forward to!

Oh amy! I sure hope you are getting time to rest my dear.... sounds like you have so much to do and I guess as your friend I am concerned that you will over do things.... please do make time to put your feet up dear and let your boys and hubby help you out for the open house! Sounds like things are really beginning to look a lot like Christmas around your place!
God bless you & keep you my friend,

p.s
after reading my comment I posted, I want to apologize if I sounded "bossy"..... I just know you are recovering from surgery and being ill.... just know that I shared with you out of love and concern. I wish I could be there to help you out! Take good care, friend.

Dear Gloria, no apology necessary! I would never think of you as bossy. I know exactly what you mean and I appreciate your concern and sweet spirit SO much. You just know me too well. :-)
I wish you could be here as well--as my guest! Wouldn't that be fun? ~Amy

Open house for friends and neighbors..........how wonderful, I have always thought that would be a fun thing to do, but never have done it! Actually, I guess we kind of do as we host a Live Natvity at our home each year for the community. A different kind of gathering, but so fun. Take care of yourself and get well!

Hey Amy!
I love your photos! I pray that you heal quickly. I too have a terrible cold with a fever that I picked up while in Kentucky. It isn't fun!
We don't have out tree up yet either so don't feel bad.
blessings,

So glad that you're back. Glad you're feeling better - I hate being sick. I told a friend that I'm starting to sound like my dad, he would say that the older he got he worse his colds got and the longer they held on. I agree. :-(
I'm sure your test results will come out the way you want them to.
Wasn't the snow beautiful this morning? It snowed here until around 2:30p.m. and then the sun almost immediately came out and melted most of it. Bummer.
We're putting up our Christmas decorations a little at a time.
Be a good girl and get plenty of rest! lol :-)
Blessings, Kim Wolf<><

Hi! Amy~
I hope you are feeling better. It is horrible to have the flu right after your surgery.
I wish I could come to your open house. I am sure the house will be beautifully decorated.
Blessings,
Ruth

I was wondering if perhaps you had some photos of your kitchen, and also of your 'bakery' type stuff I could use. I want to make a template with some bakery photos, but I can't seem to find any. I would give the entire credit of the photos to you and link back to your blog.
Are you interested?
love and blessings!
love,
Rachel
