January 5 - things at home

Hello everyone
I didn’t post over the weekend as we did nothing that was blog-interesting.  My husband has been having lots of knee pain (he will see an orthopedic dr next week) so we sat in the living room, watched church and watched Hallmark mysteries most all of the weekend.  

Now,  3 of my grands are here.  Their parents are working and the children have virtual school.  
  
I think the 2 older ones are making pretty good progress and learning a lot even though they’ve only been in school in person  for 20 days since March.
It’s tough for the kindergartner though.
Judging from how many of their classmates are on their zooms,  I’m wondering how much learning is going on for many students.  
But Covid is raging in our town,  we know quite a few people with it and some who have just recently got better- I truly don’t know what schools should do but I do think parents need to do all they can as their children’s success is ultimately their responsibility.  


Besides school, I’m working on a mountain of laundry but it’s going fast as it’s mostly bedding.  
And somehow I got all those shirts ironed too.  
  

I have not yet done my Bible reading as I need some quiet to do it.  

Meals while the grands have been here 
Supper on Monday- grilled burgers, oven fries and corn 
Breakfast was cereal as zooms started early and I couldn’t get breakfast cooked early enough
Lunch was bacon and waffles for the kiddos,  bacon fried rice for the 2 grownups.  

Second trip to CVS of 2021

I spent $14.61 on the 4 items in the photo.  
I got back a $10 CVS gift card and I still have $3 in CVS BeautyBucks from last week.
I’m happy with it,  all 4 products are large sizes and will last a good while.   




I think this post might be as interesting as watching paint dry for some people 🤷🏻‍♀️
Hope you’re all having a good day, whatever you’ve got on your plate to do

January 1- Happy 2021

Happy New Year from the little statue I found at a thrift store many years ago and from the grandson (who is much bigger now) but was a living clone of that statue for awhile.  



2020 was certainly a year of things many of us have never seen  and would prefer to not see again.  
Who knows what 2021 will bring?  I’m optimistic it will be calmer and less stressful but whatever comes,  we will do what we have to do, right? 

We will eat our traditional New Years Day  Black Eyed Peas, with cabbage and rice today.
This morning, I did some of the prep for this meal and for more cooking this week.  
Diced onions in jars for later
Diced ham for the peas, diced onions for the peas and cabbage, a bag of chopped cabbage. 

We had freezing rain and snow during the night.  Thankfully the ice didn’t cause power problems in our town. 
Ducky is not a fan of the snow at all.  If dogs can give dirty looks,  Ducky sure is giving one! 



This is not a brand new song but I had never heard it until Sunday when it was sang at the end of a local church service broadcast. 
It’s the same tune as Auld Lang Syne but has beautiful Christian lyrics 





All Glory Be To Christ 

Should nothing of our efforts stand
No legacy survive
Unless the Lord does raise the house
In vain its builders strive
To you who boast tomorrow's gain
Tell me what is your life
A mist that vanishes at dawn
All glory be to Christ
All glory be to Christ our King
All glory be to Christ
His rule and reign will ever sing
All glory be to Christ
His will be done
His kingdom come
On earth as is above
Who is Himself our daily bread
Praise Him the Lord of love
Let living water satisfy
The thirsty without price
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
All glory be to Christ
All glory be to Christ our King
All glory be to Christ
His rule and reign will ever sing
All glory be to Christ
When on the day the great I Am
The faithful and the true
The Lamb who was for sinners slain
Is making all things new
Behold our God shall live with us
And be our steadfast light
And we shall ere his people be
All glory be to Christ
All glory be to Christ our King
All glory be to Christ
His rule and reign will ever sing
All glory be to Christ
All glory be to Christ our King
All glory be to Christ
His rule and reign will ever sing
