The 8th day of Christmas – a very good day. My friend, Joyce, and I did a little shopping and exchanged gifts. She gave me some really unique pieces of old china that are very lovely. Maybe I will post a picture of them before Christmas day.
Our daughter and her children arrived this evening after a long drive – 13 hours! It is so good to have them here again even for a few days.
I have just prepared our Christmas card this evening. Maybe we will get them out in the mail tomorrow.
Here are two salad plated I painted for Christmas.


This is truely a day to rejoice. " For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6
