Christmas Eve...... The countdown has begun....

SweetPea is all beside himself.  He is very excited about Christmas, even know he does not believe in Santa anymore.  That is fine with me, because he does know the real reason we celebrate Christmas.  We celebrate Jesus birthday.

Wishing everyone a very blessed Christmas.

Christmas Vacation......has begun

and the first day is a rainy day.  That is ok... I am looking up ways to make homemade ketchup, bbq sauce and spice mixes.  I am wanting to make these instead of purchasing them.  I am trying to get away from corn syrup because it is in everything that you put in your mouth.  I have use organic sugar for a while now, and love it.  The sugar that I use is  Zulka.  This is a non-gmo sugar and it is great.  Once I find these and try them I will share my results.

Many Christmas Blessings

Tracy

Christmas time is coming and it's my last day to work until Jan 6.

Today is a good day.  The last day that I have to work until January 6, 2015.  I love working in education because we have such good off days.  This is a very nice benefit that comes with the job.  I don't think I could go back to the private sector and work after 13 years of this.  We have two weeks of vacation to use as we need them, a sick day a month, five personal days, and we get off at Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Break and a bunch of other holidays.  Also if it snows in the south then we have snow days.  2014 was a productive year for snow.  We had many days off.

Christmas is just a week away.  We have been blessed with many Christmas Blessings.  My son will be so excited to see what he is getting.  I hope the holiday break is filled with peace and love.  Sometimes the peace is not always around and I hope that everything works out for the best this year.

I am sending Christmas Blessings to all.

Smiles and Blessings,
Tracy

Do you have a bucket list?  I call these my Blessings list.  Here is what I have on my Blessings list:

                                      **    a new or almost new four door truck

                                      **    new furniture for the living room and bedroom

                                      **    new furniture for my son's bedroom

                                      **    to build sheds for our sheep

                                      **    to enclose garage to create another much needed room

                                      **    to have peace within my family

This is just a few but these are important to me.  It is blessings that I need very much in my life right now.  I will lift these desires up to God in prayer. 

              Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 
                                              Psalms 37:4  KJV

Here is the keeper of our Farm

I have decided to start blogging again......

My husband asked me if I still had my blog or not.  I had deleted it but I have decided that I would like to start it back up again.  I enjoy sharing and following different blogs . 

Let me introduce myself to you once again.  I have many names, Child of God, mom, sister, wife, daughter, friend.  I live on a 10 acre farm with my son and husband.  We raise sheep, chickens, cows, and we have a pig, a rabbit and a border collie.  We also have 51 acres that we hunt and fish on, and raise corn and hay.  It is our little piece of paradise.  We love God and all things that are simple.  I love to draw, cook, and craft.  I work outside the home full time  and I attend Southeastern University. I am obtaining my Bachelor's degree.  I am a busy person, but it is all good.

I hope to meet and make many new friends.

Many Smiles and Blessings,

Tracy
