Good morning everyone.
It is a very cold morning here in Texas. Come on in and sit with me a little as we go through our Happy Homemaker Monday for this week.
I apologize for not having any posts up last week, but we had a death in the family. My half brother Joel, who was just 14 years old, passed away suddenly of a heart attack. It was an incredible shock to everyone, and my poor dad was with him when it happened, and is just broken. I am not in South Africa so I can't be there physically for my dad, and it's such a helpless feeling. Please keep my dad in your prayers, please.
Anyway, I am hoping this week to add a few more posts in the lead up to Christmas and the family arriving next Tuesday.
I hope you and your families are all well. Have a blessed week friends!
Sandra
