My Agnes Rathonyi Art Collection Increaseth

Summertime had my sisters sending me pictures of our fave Canadian Artist's various works during a yearly festival which they were attending.

 I texted about this little piece of original art which had my favorite shade of green in it. 
Alas, I was told that it was bought by someone else by the time my Sibs got around to inquiring about its price and availability on my behalf.  Darn. 

I had a feeling that one of my sisters had purchased it for herself as she also likes the same shade of green.  I was right --- she did purchase it -- for ME!!!!  It was my belated Birthday gift which she gave on Christmas eve.  I was beyond stunned and happy.  She and her hubby are soooo generous. Praise the Lord!  Here it is on our Art Gallery wall.

Bath Renovation: Before & After, Bathroom #2

I just love how our bathroom renovation turned-out after 25+ years of doing nothing!  Being blessed with six kids to raise and support kinda changes your financial priorities. Not regretting that decision, but now I  no longer cringe when guests choose to use this CR.  No more dingy wall tiles, nor broken floor tiles, nor messed-up plumbing. It's almost-all new! Thank You, Lord.

MacKenzie Childs: Cool Moose & Nutcrackers

My 3 youngest children have indulged me. First was this gorgeous pillow for my birthday -- my first ever purchase of a Nutcracker-related item.  Then, came my next Nutcracker item (placemats) to match.

Finally, this very cool MC Moose was bought for me & hubby as a Christmas gift again by said kids. The Moose pillow which I bought for myself while on sale, matched this AND the Nutcracker pillow above.

Videos: Pope Francis is NOT Infallible

 The Pope is an inveterate Sinner with anger issues doing his own way whenever he pleases.  What's more, he is in need of a Saviour (Jesus Christ alone -- not Mary, not good works, not church membership, not prayers for the dead nor any man-made tradition/ritual) just like the rest of us common folk. Thank You, Lord Jesus Christ, for saving me to the uttermost.
