Thoughts from Phyllis

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! I began the Sunday after Thanksgiving having some of my female cousins on my mother’s side of the family over to bake.  We do this every year and I value our time together more and more each year.  We make recipes that our families have enjoyed over the years and put together boxes of baked goods for each family (15 of us) to enjoy over the season.  That is a lot of loud women in the kitchen! 

I am trying to make the Christmas outfits for my grandsons, but they keep coming over to my house!  I am getting very little done.  They are very busy when they are there.  I am thinking it is going to require staying up all night in order to finish.  Ugh! 

As I pause and reflect over this past year, I am so thankful for each of you in my life.  I enjoy our time spent together and always learn something new when I am with you!  This is such a special group of women and am so proud to be a member. 

May each of you and your family be blessed this holiday season!

See you Tuesday!

Wee Care Gowns Workday– 4th Tuesday of Each Month from January – October.
 Mark your calendar for our next Wee Care Workday will be the 4th Tuesday in January – January 23, 2018 at Lord of Life Lutheran Church (Poplar Pike). Please make plans to come for all or part of the day -  it would be a great help. We need folks to bring sewing machines to sew the outfits that have been pinned.
This will be our first Wee Care workday of 2018, so it would be great to have extra hands to help assemble these precious outfits!
