Epiphany and Other January Things


We got a kick out of this. 

We've had some freezing fog lately and it has looked like a winter wonderland. Kind of Narnian.







On Epiphany Eve we went to the blessing of Epiphany Water. Very beautiful ceremony.


We made a king's cake but as it turns out these are the only 2 pictures I took. I make one that is stuffed with a cream cheese mixture... and of course a Baby Jesus.

Someone was proud of making a new do on mom.
I love having the kids (and their spouses) around!


Rosie's painting (it was a paint by numbers but it was still beautiful!)


A dear pea-poddish type of friends is teaching me to knit!

They were making peg dolls galore



We put away the large Christmas tree and the huge Nativity.



And left up the small tree and Baby Jesus. They will stay up until February 2nd.

Temporary swing!

Zoom call with Aragorn's (paternal) Uncle Wayne. He's been in the hospital with Covid since, about, December 9th. He's been off and on the ventilator. Please keep him in your prayers!


He loved having a zoom call, recognized everyone, and had his sense of humor intact! It was a great time. As of typing this post he had an amazing (surprising) turn around. Deo Gratias!
