Countdown

2 announcements to share with everyone. First off, I want to share with everyone the joy of inheriting my son's apple computer. It is the best computer for me as far as I am concern.
It can do a lot of things that I don't even know and will be learning more about it as time goes by.
Here I want to thank my son for sharing this blessing with me. Oh, one thing that I cannot get though...my iphoto. Erego, no picture here to go with my thoughts. It seems to be gone. Help.... cuz i need my iphoto.
Second thing to announce is that Craig and Eva are going for a vacation in Malaysia, Spore and Taiwan. It is the first long distant vacation for Eva after more than 10 years of not visiting her birthplace. She is elated about this trip. And they will be leaving on Wednesday of this week.
So we want to wish them a safe trip and great enjoyment. Don't go crazy eating all the foods in Spore or you will come back a chunky girl....hahahaa !

Isn't he cute !

This is actually a door post blocker.
That means to say that you can use it to block the wind seeping through the gap under the door.
It is custom made and again requests can be made for this.
Let me know if anyone is interested in ordering some.
There will be a rampage sale in January and these and others will be on sale. Details later. If there is anyone interested in buying or selling these for charity, let me know. There will be many other items available. Hats, shrugs, wraps, ponchos etc....

Sample

Here is a sample of one of the works I have been doing for the past few days. Thanksgiving had been wonderful and now we are moving on to Christmas.
As times are so bad this year, my gifts for the family will be homemade. If you like a hairband of such, make a request and it will be made for you.
My hands are busy these days and taking requests therefore had neglected my blog. Will be back when all work is done..

Month of November

Announcements and more announcements.... this seems to be a month for births and weddings...
Here is Katie Hohertz. She was born to Erna and Jeff on the 10th of November. Very healthy and a beautiful little girl.
Sister Lana wide eyes showed her surprise that her Christmas wish came early. She had been asking for a sister and she got it in November !
We want to wish the Hohertz a very happy and healthy family.
And congratulations too for having such a beautiful baby girl !

Xiao Wen

This is our friend Xiao Wen from church. She left us to go to Chicago to be a professor in a University.
This is her whirlwind wedding. She met this husband of hers for only a month and got married within that month.
We are happy for her but we are also worried as this thing happened too fast.
Well, I should not say too much becuz this is very individual. Some people have it quick while others take years to walk down the aisle. Just hope that those who are taking so long will hurry up a little. ha hahaa...
We want to wish them happiness and love.

Baby Cyrus

This is baby Cyrus. He is Clara's little baby brother who came into the world at the time when California's homes were on fire. He was born Nov.12 2008. He weighs 8 lbs and 13ozs with length of 21 inches. A big baby ! Yesterday, 11/16/08, their home was in the midst of the fire.
We took 40 mins to try to get to their home as there were blockage everywhere.
But we were glad that they are all safe and we managed to go to the hospital to visit this little one. We want to wish the parents God's blessings as they learn to raise this little one.

Heart to heart

It was good to see a lot of people yesterday whom we have not seen for years at church.
A friend was very tearful as her son had not been going to church and on top of that, he has been into smoking and drinking.
As a mother, I can understand how she feels although, I am very thankful that my children have not gotten those habits. But I feel for her and her worries for her son.
Both of us want very much for our children to love the LORD and stay in the faith. Unfortunately, things happened and our children are out of the church. But our prayers are always with them. It is our prayer day and night that our children will return to the LORD's side. He is coming soon to take us all home to Heaven.
