"the true spirit of conversation
consists more in bringing out the cleverness
of others then showing a great deal of it yourself. he who goes away pleased with himself
and his own wit
is also greatly pleased with u."
quoted from my favourite person
December 21.
the tiny Galen Ray family has gathered.
jenna charlotte & her husband joel are missing.
& clearly i need a husband because
i am now the only single person in my family.
anyways.
this cabin smells like food. good food.
& the wood floor is mopped sparkly.
the big red poinsettia that daddy bought us is proudly sitting on the wood stove.
the wood stove isn't going ..
the warm alberta wind wants us to have a warm christmas party.
the snow & ice melts fast.
& the fire stays cold today.
too full of stomach. but happy smiles.
and the best christmas gift ever.
but i'm not allowed to tell you what it is.
but it's the best.
quiet lights & dainty dessert
jaclyn sue keeps the espresso coming.
mom reads stories & we sit quiet,
sipping coffee drinks.
presents.
jaclyn had my name and she bought me my DREAM space bun toque. it is so me.
also a dayplanner.
and i am addicted to day planners.
especially green leather ones.
annnnndd then my daddy gave me the
COOLEST blanket.
handmade in africa.
& i know that it was NOT cheap.
oh also this blanket smells really good.
off to the tiny white church.
with the tiny steeple. & the red tin.
the team of horses trot in & my heart beats. because i seem to live inside of this romantic dreamy storybook. of horse teams and tiny white churches & perfect christmas gifts. but i don't even live in a story book. this is truly my life. the singing echoes through the tiny sanctuary.
precious Patricia plays the piano and all the inexperienced neighbours & my family sing haltingly along with the excited piano.
the christmas story is read & then of course we eat. there seems to be food wherever we turn these days. we go to Colby & dana's for ... ya you can probably guess. more food. the little cowgirls who live here always can find more things to show you. & are always tugging.
come jessi come play. my heart loves this.
the day is done.
the cattle fed.
God is guarding this sleep.
I loved hearing about your Christmas.❤️
