Happy Thanksgiving, Y’all!

We made it back to one of our favorite spots in the woods today. I’m very grateful for the respite and peace.

I *almost* got everything set up for the Advent workshop for church tomorrow. (I’m bringing the prayer candle decorating instructions and the Advent wreath ribbons in the morning, and a lovely, kind lady from the parish is bringing the greenery.) This year I am still recovering my voice from a three week cough, so I wrote out a lot of posters and asked my fellow teachers to help read or supervise activities. Here’s hoping for a joyous Advent that builds up our hope in Christ! #advent #holyheritageday #westernrite

Very grateful to my husband for putting up our Ora et Labora decal in the school room prayer corner. #prayer

Eat local. Shop local. Read local. Soul local. What if this Advent we focus on building up a local or regional emphasis in the care of our souls? It’s easy to get caught up in inclusion culture and feel that the only way to do something right is to follow online leaders. But what about neighbor culture? What if local soul care is not only a best practice when it comes to spiritual care from a local priest, but also absolutely necessary for all the other ways our souls are nourished? #soullocal #advent #prayer

I’m going to try posting at teatime (either Elevensies or around 2pm) each day about something that’s on my mind. Here’s today’s thought. #elevensies #advent #prayer

#advent What if we share about God’s generosity this year?

The girls and I made scones tonight to ward off the rainy chill. My older daughter made plain with cherry glaze, and I finished the batch my youngest started by turning out pistachio scones with maple rum glaze (heated to burn off the alcohol). These are so good! I’m going to freeze some since the children like the plain/cherry ones. These are gluten-free and dairy-free. I’m about to re-release my novel, Tea & Crumples, which has the recipe in the back.
