My weekend at Church.

Well the countdown to Christmas is on and to start off my countdown Gage and I went to Church on Saturday (Nov. 29Th) to help with the hanging of the greens for Advent. I really enjoyed myself. I helped set up a Nativity scene in one of the classrooms as well as helped attach bows to the wreathes for the pillars and the doors. Gage helped wherever they needed him. All of us had a simple breakfast during fellowship. Here are the pictures I got during and after decorating.
Then today on my way into the Church an older couple who I have befriended well stopped me to give me a Christmas card with $40.00 in it to help get the kids Christmas presents with. I was so surprised and I felt so blessed. I managed to get some stocking stuffer's with it and gloves, a pair of pants for each and tights for sis. I stretched it as much as I could. I also got a Thank You card for the couple. I have gotten to where I look forward to going to Church every week and slowly I am participating more. I really feel at home with his Church and I am making so many new friends. The kids even go every week with me now and all of attend Sunday school. I truly believe this is good for me especially since this is one of the rare times I feel at peace.

Graham's November Photo Challenge

As all of you know by now I love to participate in Graham's photography challenges. Well the theme for this month is a photo of what makes you happy(happiness). Well I have had a hard time choosing which photo I wanted to use so I am posting 2.
I chose this photo for 2 reasons. The first because this is a photo I took of my family and me which always makes me happy. Second because I finally figured out the timer on my camera to take the picture with all of us to begin with, and that makes me really happy.

I also chose this photo because I loved how it turned out and I'm also submitting this photo in a local contest called Autumn Artistry. It won't be voted on till January but I had to give it a shot. I'll be in the amateur adult category.

My most recent photo's

Here is a collage of pictures I got yesterday from a couple different locations. The first place we went was Mill Dam and then to a cemetary with a gorgorous fountain. Enjoy. Here are the cemetary fountain pictures I took.

Give away from Shellmo

While visiting WIXY's blog I seen he had a post for a giveaway by Shellmo. I don't usually enter contest's because I don't win but I figure I''ll give this one a shot. At least then I can say I tried. She is giving away a loaf of bread from a store in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Go to Shellmo's blog to see a pic of the Cranberry Pecan Bread.
