Hi Everyone,
I hope and pray that you all had a very wonderful and Blessed Christmas.
I thought I would briefly tell you about our wonderful Christmas.
It was truly sweet and filled with so much love and peace.
Okay, yes I was bad. I opened a few gifts early. lol. I totally love
my new Nu-Wave oven. I got it in October, I think. lol. Vernon
ordered it on line for me. It uses Infarrered, Conduction, and
Convexion cooking. It's cool.
Then the day after ThanksGiving, we were up stairs having our
breakfast. Vernon had just cooked the bacon, brought up the
breakfast. I new where he was. lol. The Microwave started. lol. I
told him, and he went down and shut it off. We agreed it was time for
a new microwave oven. lol. We had not planned on going shopping the
day after ThanksGiving, but we did. He bought me a new Sharp
Microwave oven, and I really love it.
One day about 3 weeks ago, I got an email from one of our suppliers.
lol. The subject was "An Order Confirmation." I opened it, as I had
not ordered anything from them, but I had thought about ordering
something from them, but I didn't. I read something about phones in
the email. I saw no reference to a credit card number or anything. I
saw a shipping tracking number. lol. I asked Vernon about it. He
wasn't too happy that they sent the email. He was not mad at me. <smile>
He told me the story about the phones, and that I would love them.
lol. Sure enough, I do love them. All 5 phones. lol. Yes, you heard
me right. One base and 5 hand sets. It's so cool. We programmed them
all to play "We wish you a Merry Christmas." lol. That is on line 1.
On line 2, which is the business line, we programmed them to play
"When Irish Eyes are Smiling." It's so cool to hear them all ring.
lol. Each hand set has their separate charger.
Then we had our Christmas party on December 9th. There were 7 of us
here and we had a lot of fun. We had lots of appetisers and someone
gave me a neat box of Margarita glasses. lol. This is a friend who
comes over often and yes, we do have a Margarita now and then. lol.
We made some that evening for our little happy hour. Some just had
cokes, but 4 of us had Margarita's in the new glasses. Oh, you all
should have been here. We had breaded mushrooms, breaded mozarella
sticks, mini chipotli tacos, bread sticks with cheese in them, meat
and cheese on tooth picks, veggies and dip, dill pickles, and lots of
squeezings and laughs. lol.
Then we had our main meal which consisted of spaghetti, garlic bread,
salad, and wine. Then after we finished eating, I played the organ
and Vernon and Kari did the cleanup and started the dish washer. Then
we played a really fun card game with white elophant gifts. It was a
cool game and everyone ended up with something. It was all good and
clean fun. <smile> Then we visited, and passed around the goodie
boxes for everyone. They were all surprised. Yes, we did it, fudge
and peanut briddle. I made the fudge and Vernon made the peanut
briddle. It was a fun time.
Last Friday Kari and I went to a party here in town. The Country Club
was closing it's doors, there fore they had a party for everyone in
town. Kari and I went, but Vernon did not want to go. It was very
nice. We didn't stay too long, as it was really crowded. The food was
excellent. When she brought me home, it wasn't long and some of our
Menonight friends came over to see us for a short visit. They brought
a bag of buns. Well, let's see, I think there are 6 in the family
counting the parents so I got twice that many squeezings. lol. They
really love to squeeze. They invited us for dinner on Christmas day.
Saturday I wrapped Vernon's Christmas presents. It was fun. When I
took them down stairs to put under the Christmas tree, I saw another
package there. I laughed.
We always open our presents on Christmas Eve. Sunday morning, I
couldn't wait. I'm worse that a child. lol.
I opened my present, and it was a beautiful fiberoptic angel. It is
really beautiful and it is 20 inches high. She is wearing a beautiful
dress that hides the plastic peace that makes her skirt flair out,
and that hides the motor and wires. The wings move back and forth,
and she lights up with many colors. It's sweet.
Then, I fixed ham and mashed potatoes for supper. It was nice and we
had a quiet loving day. Then we watched a movie together. This was
one that I bought him for Christmas.
Monday, we went to Linda and Wesley Toews house for dinner. It was so
beautiful. The love was incredible, and God's presents was really
there. Oh, the lovings and squeezings, I couldn't believe it. We had
a sweet time with them all. We were given very practical gifts and
munchies as well. The food was excellent, and everyone was so sweet.
I'm so glad they invited us and they did let me help in the kitchen.
Someone asked me where I got so much love. I told them that I don't
take any credit for it, and it was all from God.
Then, on Tuesday night, we went to visit some more friends. They have
remodeled their house and it was really beautiful and the food and
fellowship was excellent.
Okay, I've rambled on long enough. I want to hear aout all of your Christmas's.
I pray that you all have a very blessed new year and that 2007 is a
much better year for everyone.
God Bless you all.
Love,
Pat Ferguson
