Every Excuse in the Book!

Dear Patient Readers,

Another Late Blog  Posting!

We're just late on everything--ever since we got a LATE start on what we like to call the "nuts and bolts" of Christmas.  This picture is what it looks like when procrastination meets adrenaline rush—a lot gets done in short order.  

Productivity spikes.

Conundrum solved.

Yasukichi'a Chance Encounter

But then a chance encounter invites (not demands) you to slow down. . . and even stop.  And therein you have the opportunity to give of yourself.  A more generous, precious, gift—though a mere shadow of Divine Love—there could never be.

If I Knew You and You Knew Me

By Nixon Waterman

If I knew you and you knew me,
If both of us could clearly see,
And with an inner sight divine,
The meaning of your heart and mine,
I'm sure that we would differ less,
And clasp our hands in friendliness;
Our thoughts would pleasantly agree,
If I knew you and you knew me.

And that's why we're late with another post.  Or at least that's our story, and we're stinking to it.There's no telling what our next excuse will be.  If you have suggested excuses that have proven effective, send them our way.

And we're really hoping you are having a swell and leisurely time with Christmas Preparations. 

And that you, Dear Readers, have the chance to give of yourselves--a more precious gift, you could not give.

Much Love,

Lisa and Maddie
