Good evening from COLD! Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. It's -1F and feels like -21. The temp hasn't moved much all day. It's been a good day. I'm thankful for this time of year. So far, I've gotten Christmas cards from several of you with three coming in today and a package. Thank you, Judy Story, Linda OH, Marilyn, and today's from Eve, two former myLotters, and a beautiful angel ornament that I can only guess who it's from as it came from Etsy. I'm thankful for the time spent between here and WordPress. I enjoy knowing what's going on in your world. I'm thankful for the chili casserole I made today. I almost didn't make it, but I did and I just finished the first bowl. I thought I would have put too much chili powder in it, but it's perfect. I decided one day that I wanted chili as a casserole, looked online, combined a couple of recipes and came up with a really delicious chili casserole. I'm thankful for the work I did on Faith to Believe. Just one chapter, but right now, I'm not in a hurry. I'll go into high gear on that one after the new year. Okay, that's been my day. What are you thankful for today? Let me know in the comments. Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. This is a recent photo.

One chapter is good enough, little by little you are completing your book.

@just4him The 13th of December would have been my Mom's birthday, the day of St. Lucy.

You're very welcome. I'm sure I have cards in the mail; but I only get it once a week when cousin #2 comes over. I am always thankful for the many friends I have here on MyLot. I'm truly blessed.

What beautiful blessings! I hope to participate in cards next year. I had a lovely set I was going to use this year and the humidity stuck all the envelopes and the cards felt damp. Receiving snail mail is fun. Your photo is gorgeous!

You're welcome. It's just like chili in a casserole. I make it a little different too.
