Sometimes if I sit quietly and still my racing mind ...the Holy Spirit can share eternal truths with my heart..... Today as I read....
"The angel said to them, "Do not be afraid' for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be for all the people; for unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord." (Luke 2:10-11)
They weren't just words I was reading...I was filled with the Spirit and tears came to my eyes. My heart was so full it felt like it would burst. And for a sweet moment I was blessed with the undeniable eternal truth.....Jesus Christ is our Savior! I'm so thankful for Him and for sweet reminders like these :)

At the Gallery today...
Wow.......busy week. Good week and tiring week.Very late night and into the morning kind of week playing/working on photography.
I've had 3 jewelry shows in 3 weeks and earned over $800 dollars. I'm liking being a Premier Designs Jeweler. My need......we all have one or two...is getting my Jeep paid off so I don't have to worry about that monthly payment. My jewelry business is not only fun it's making that payment and buying me some fun new clothes, more jewelry, and paying a few other small bills.
Sitting at the gallery today and really enjoying being here. I've met two very interesting, colorful personalities today Made coming to work all the more fun!
Tomorrow is our little WiltonWinter Festival and I'm hoping to have a vendor table set up. It's late notice since we were supposed to be working cattle all day tomorrow.....but that got put off and I'm going to try and be at the Festival.....waiting for the go ahead or no ahead.
Well, just wanted to say hi and I have lots to do in the next 2 hours so gotta go.
Bye for now!

Dripping Fog and Mr. Roo
It's almost 11 pm and I just came in from checking on the animals. The fog is so heavy it feels like a light rain and my hooded sweatshirt is damp.
Our oldest horse is agitated out there in the dark. He's been calling for over an hour now so I figured I'd best go talk with him and see what's up. He hates being alone and his 'mare' must be down at the end of the pasture with the cows and calves.
I checked on Mr. Roo again :( He's still breathing and I just wish he'd peacefully let go. I've shed tears over losing him a couple of times in the last few days. His sweetheart (yes animals have sweethearts) died last week. They're 8 years old and both began struggling with walking the last few months. I think he misses her company. The last week he's lain right outside Rowdy's kennel for company and just seemed to give up. Yesterday he let me pick him up right in the middle of the day and carry him to a horse stall to get him out of the wind.
Mr. Roo was such a magnificent rooster, and such a polite and wonderful guy to have around. I'm going to miss him a lot. He hasn't crowed for a couple of days and I really miss that.
He used to peck at my doorstep to get me outside to let the hens loose. He has quite the personality.
I'm not sure I'll get another rooster. Might just have a big flock of hens. But I will sure miss his magnificent feather tapestry. He has been my walking, crowing art.
I'm just sad :(

Beautiful Morning and I have lots to be Thankful for....
I occasionally need to stop and THINK and realize how greatly I am blessed and how thankful I need to be. My life might have it's ups and downs.....which is life.....but I am definitely blessed and I am truly thankful for this.
My kids have grown into absolutely awesome people and my grandkids are pure joy for me. How blessed can that be ?!?!?!!!!!
My husband and I enjoy ranch life and it keeps us from feeling our creaks and pains most of the time :) We will always stay young and work and play through our aging because we WANT to have fun doing what we love......riding and roping and helping others......we don't want to sit down and take it easy and retire. We want to PLAY at what we love to do.
I think that's probably the secret to better health.....don't slow down. '
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving week!!!!
