Susan, that is very interesting how the cattle are transported in Australia. We can only have one pull behind trailer for cattle since there are so many roads that are in the mountains and they are too steep to pull more than one trailer.
I am getting ready for my daughter and family to come here for Christmas tomorrow. We went to do last minute shopping today and I am finishing the last of the star cinnamon rolls to give out. We will deliver 4 tomorrow.0 -

It's getting close now, Judith. Praying for you! 🙏
Have been enjoying family time these last two days. 🤗🎄It happens so infrequently, these are precious times.0 -
My daughter and family made safely over the mountain last night. They got in really late because they could not leave until 6pm after our son-in-law got off work. We stayed up really late talking so I am tired this morning.
Susan, I am glad that you are with family now. Even though we are not with all our family, it is so special to spend the holiday time together.0 -
Good Morning Team

Starting last night we have had a mixture of rain and snow for the day. We went shopping and the main roads are slushy buut the side streets are slippery. Our truck was sliding when we went around corners. I was glad my husband is experienced in snow and does not mind driving. We have only had a few inches but the report is for the snow to continue on and off for the rest of the day. We will definately have a white Christmas. My shoes that I bought in the Summer that have a ventilation section on the top of the toes were wonderful to keep my feet cool but are not appreciated during the snow and slush. My shoes let in lots of water so my socks were soaked when I got home. I am so glad for the moisture that I will not complain other than my feet were cold.
We have started getting food ready for tomorrow so we will not be so rushed doing the meal tomorrow. We are having my M-I-L over to eat so we will have 7 people around our table. I am looking forward to getting together and then after we eat we will zoom with the rest of the family who can not make it. My M-I-L loves to see all the faces expecially the little ones. She does not say much but has a huge smile on her face just watching everyone.0 -
Christmas is here an the other side of the world! We've had presents and the littles have had a swim. The adults are good humourdly stepping on each other in the kitchen while we all prepare a dish or two. Christmas lunch will be served at 2pm.
It's a beautiful day, a bit too hot, but we're enjoying the air conditioning.
I'm grateful for the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Saviour. One little granddaughter asked whose birthday it was, and I told her about the baby Jesus.
Thank you, dear Lord, and thank you all for your friendship and support in 2021

Good Morning
Merry Christmas and God's Blessings as you Celebrate the Birthday of our King, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior!
May your day be blessed as you gather with Family and Friends!
This morning I woke to fresh snowfall, its still snowing out; a beautiful site of fresh snow falling, my evergreen trees are filled with snow on the branches with peaks of green boughs on their tips...
Today I am FaceTiming with Family: my dear daughter took ill 3 days ago and is now in self isolation for 3 days while waiting on her Covid test results: she is quite ill. Because of her being so ill and with possible Covid all their family Christmas activities with having family to their place was cancelled. We open our gifts via FaceTime video. Thank you for praying for my daughter!
Take care, stay safe and well. Enjoy your day....God Bless...

I hope you all had a good Christmas celebrating Jesus birth. We read the scripture of his birth, opened presents then we all pitched in to make our late lunch. My husband went to pick up his mother and had a flat tire on the way. Fortunately, he had just gotten off the busy highway and was on a quieter road. The whole tire had split apart. We knew that they were getting older but thought they would be good for at least until Spring. I am so glad that he did not have the flat tire on the busy interstate highway. As he was looking at the tire, his brother drove by who lives in the same area as their mother and stopped to help him re-inflate the spare tire that was also flat and then put it on the car. I can see God's hand in the whole situation. If it had happened 5 minutes later, his brother would not have seen him on the side of the road to help him. I am so glad that we have Jesus who makes all things work for the good of those who love him. Tomorrow we will go eat again with my mother-in-law before by daughter and family leave to go to Kansas to Celebrate with the other side of the family.1

Amen Marilyn! We are having high winds with snow squalls this afternoon. It comes and goes so I am not sure if the wind is done or not. Right now the sun is shining and the clouds are beginning to be less dark so I assume it is gone to another part of the country.
We are slowing down in our activites today. Our daughter and family will be leaving tomorrow morning for thier long 13 hour trip to her inlaws. I do not thnk I could do that long traveling with two children ages 7 and 9 who are very active. It is a good thing they are young and capable of keeping up with the kids. (I like to cuddle on the couch and rest.) It has been a wonderful blessing to have them here to celebrate. I will miss them!1 -
Amen, yes let's feed on the Manna God has given us.Hope you all had a Blessed Christmas celebrating Jesus Birthday
Today was a very quiet day for me, after full Christmas Day I needed to be quiet today...
Happy Boxing Day evening, Blessings on your day tomorrow!
Sharing a beautiful chorus that has been on my mind for a while...Enjoy, God Bless...❤️🤗
Days of Elijah
Verse 1
These are the days of Elijah,
Declaring the word of the Lord:
And these are the days of Your servant Moses,
Righteousness being restored.
And though these are days of great trial,
Of famine and darkness and sword,
Still, we are the voice in the desert crying
‘Prepare ye the way of the Lord!’
Chorus
Behold He comes, riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun, at the trumpet call!
Lift your voice, it’s the year of jubilee
And out of Zion’s hill salvation comes!
Verse 2
These are the days of Ezekiel,
The dry bones becoming as flesh.
And these are the days of Your servant David,
Rebuilding a temple of praise.
These are the days of the harvest,
The fields are as white in Your world!
And we are the laborers in Your vineyard,
Declaring the word of the Lord!
Chorus
Behold He comes, riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun, at the trumpet call!
Lift your voice, it’s the year of jubilee
And out of Zion’s hill salvation comes!
Bridge
There is no God like Jehovah.
There is no God like Jehovah!
There is no God like Jehovah.
There is no God like Jehovah!
There is no God like Jehovah.
There is no God like Jehovah!
There is no God like Jehovah.
There is no God like Jehovah!
There is no God like Jehovah.
There is no God like Jehovah!
There is no God like Jehovah!
Chorus
Behold He comes, riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun, at the trumpet call!
Lift your voice, it’s the year of jubilee
And out of Zion’s hill salvation comes!
Behold He comes, riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun, at the trumpet call!
Lift your voice, it’s the year of jubilee
And out of Zion’s hill salvation comes!

Today is the day after Boxing Day and my daughter and her family have returned home. We're continuing to visit with our son and daughter-in-law till the New Year.
Take care, all of you.0 -
Susan - I really like the words to this song. I have a lot of favorite songs that help me praise God, pray or just relax in His presence. The ones with scripture quotes are expecially good to listen to.
I am cleaning up the house, washing sheets, and using leftovers from when we had my daughter and family visiting. It is very quiet in the house with the grandkids gone but it is nice to get back to "normal" again. My daughter said that they were delayed in the mountains because they were doing "avalanche control". In case you have not heard of this, the Department of Transportation shoots things into the heavy snow that is on the sides of the mountain to possibly create a controled avalanche. It prevents skiers and other things from creating unexpected avalanchs that could cause deaths or car accidents if it got on the road. They can not prevent all avalanches but this certainly helps keep everyone safer.0 -
Linda, beautiful scripture songs encourage me too. There's one for every trial.
I'm glad they do avalanche controlnear you.
It's raining here tonight and I am listening to our Pastor online. I'll go to bed soon.0 -
It is snowing again today. Usually we get a few inches all winter but now we have had that much in the past week. I wonder what the rest of the winter will bring? The snow does not stay on the ground very long which is nice. Even though the grass may be covered, the roads are only wet.
I have really been enjoying the recipies that Judith has been posting in the announcements. Have any of you tried them? I have had to change some of the ingredients to match what I can eat but it was still very delicious.0 -
Snowing again today but not accumulating as much as Marilyn has been getting. We get an inch or two then it melts off until the next snow comes.
Do you have a theme for the new year? People talk about resolutions of how they want to change their bodies (loose weight, exercise more, etc) but this year I am working on my mind. I will be continuing my reading of how Jesus loved people that I started this year but also want to work on faith. My theme will be "Let go and let God". I want to be so trusting in God that I can float along like the snowflakes are outside my window knowing that God has a plan and He will take care of me. Trying to be in charge of my life is hard work! If I let God take over, He knows the future and is much better at decisions than I am. I know I will not be perfect in letting go but I want to strengthen my faith I already have to a higher level. Getting a stronger faith will also require me to listen to His voice better and to improve my prayer life. Psalm 9:10 Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.0 -
Well said, Linda. I struggle with those things too. I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on the subject.0

Thankyou all for signing in and helping Susan with the Team
I have my Colon surgical procedures on January 12th and I am required to have a Covid test next week before my admission!
Will keep you posted on my ongoing issues, Facial Melanoma-re-construction surgery has been rolled over to February 2022.
Love you all, thanks for your prayers...❤️🙏1 -
We are listening to the news and hearing about a wildfire that is burning near our house on the other side of the mountain. They have evacuated two towns but have not said anything about our house yet. Our daughter says the smoke is really irritating her eyes and they are getting ready to evacuate if needed. We have friends living in that area so we are praying that their houses are spared. The wind is really strong and is spreading the fire at a fast rate.
We got our covid booster shots this morning and so far we have not had any problems other than sore arms. I was surprised that they did not have us wait for 15 minutes after the shot like we did with the first two shots. I guess they assumed if we did not have a reaction to them we would not have any to this one either.
The sun just broke through the clouds outside my window and it is nice to see. We have not had any sun for several days. I am not sure that the predicted 5" of snow will happen during the night or not. I will not be staying up to watch for it.
We will be staying up tomorrow night to watch and pray the new year in. When I was at home, my brother and I would race to see who would be the one to write the numbers of the new year first. We would be writing so fast that the numbers were unrecognizible but we still had fun. We have outgrown that but it would not work anyway because he is in an earlier time zone so he sees the new year first.
Judith, I am praying the covid test is negative and the hospital will have space for you to have your procedure.1 -

We had a grass fire near our house in the Denver area that burned over 600 houses yesterday. (The news said it could be up to 1000 houses in the final count.) Our house was within one mile of the evacuation area. Our friends who were in the towns that were affected did not loose their houses but know many who did. The smoke is affecting a lot of people. My granddaughter has asthma and needs to take her rescue inhaler to be able to breathe. I am so grateful that there were not any people with serious injuries or loss of life. Snow is coming today which will help in cooling down the smoldering areas.
Last night my husband had shaking chills probably from his covid booster shot. He has a low grade fever today but I seem to have come out of it unscathed.
Tonight we are going to have an early New Years Day party for the children and their families in the church. It will be from 5:30pm-7:30pm at our house. We will have snacks and fun games to play. It is snowing here again today but I hope it is not too much to keep some people from coming.
I hope all of you are safe during this time of celebrating the New Year. 🎆✨🎉🎊 We are not going out anywhere. I may be a good driver but I do not trust the other drivers if they have been drinking.1 -
Happy New Year to all! We stayed home last night too, cooking food together and watching Netflix. No one stayed up till midnight. 😜💤
Judith, you are welcome for the help. I hope everything goes ahead for you soon. It must be so hard, always having the date of the procedures extended. Praying for you.
Linda, the fires sound so close. Praying you and your family stay safe. Fire is so devastating.

Happy New Year and God's Blessing to you and your family!
Linda, so sorry to hear about the fires, my prayers are with you for God's protection around your home...praying your family will be kept safe.
thank you Susan for your help here...
have a great evening and New Years Day...

Linda, any word on your family and house? I continue to pray protection around your land and house and family that no harm will come anywhere near, in Jesus Name I pray, Amen
Happy New Year 2022, may you and your family be blessed abundantly...

Happy New Year, everyone.
Judith, we spent New Year's Day with our son and daughter-in-law preparing for her parents' arrival. Col helped son paint a room in their house. He tripped and fell this afternoon though and seems to have hurt his hand and ribs. I am watching him. He has severe osteoporosis so I would not be surprised if he broke a little bone, but he is refusing to believe it at the moment.
It's very hot here. Our air conditioned in the van barely coped with the weather today but has recovered this evening.
Linda, I am thinking of you too and praying for your safety.1 -
🧨✨ HAPPY NEW YEARS DAY TO EVERYONE! 🎉🎆
The snow helped put the fires out and people are returning to look at what they lost. All our family are fine as well as our friends who lived closer to the fire. It is unbelievable to look at the picures and see all the destruction. If we had not had the 100 miles per hour wind blowing at the same time, the fire would not have spread so quickly. Prayers are appreciated for those who lost so much and praise that there were no serious injuries that happened.
We had fun with the early party with the kids from the church and their families last night. They went home at 8:30 but we did stay up until midnight then my husband went to bed. I stayed up until 2am reading. I did not get up very early this morning as a result. I do not usually stay awake that long but for some reason, time got away from me and I did not feel tired. One thing I am going to work on this year is getting to bed at a better hour so I can get up like a "normal" person. Today we do not have any plans other than cleaning up the house so we can have our small group come over to have church here tomorrow. We will also go exercise to get rid of the excess calories I ate at the party.1
