Raspberry Thumbprint cookies

Well, hey there, friend! Okay, okay… maybe I’m asking for myself. 😁🫶 Ethel Sue here. 👋 The Christmas Home Tour just happened, and let me tell you, the houses were just lovely. One had a gingerbread theme. You would’ve loved it! Little gingerbread people in the tree, candy-striped ribbon, and a whole gingerbread village across the kitchen counter. Another house had turquoise ornaments and gold sparkle. I told Glory I was only looking, but by then I was already planning. You see, we’re painting nutcrackers at Amanda’s next paint party, and I’m pretty sure mine is getting a turquoise jacket. Possibly sparkly boots, too. I’ll have to see how he feels about it once I paint his face. I know the sample painting had a red jacket. That’s helpful information, but I don’t believe it’s a binding agreement. Right? 🤔 What do you think?

The candy-striped ribbon, the tiny gingerbread people, the cozy little village on the kitchen counter… it all felt like someone had taken Christmas cheer, rolled it in cinnamon sugar, and set it right there for everybody to enjoy. Some might say she got a little carried away. I prefer to say she found a fun new way to share her sparkles of joy with the world! She...
Hey there, Reader, Thelma stopped by the other afternoon after she’d finished delivering Meals on Wheels around town. I poured us each a cup of tea, and before long we got to talking about Pastor Mark’s message on the shepherds in Luke 2. “Isn’t it something,” Thelma said, “that of all the people God could’ve told about Jesus being born, He chose a bunch of shepherds?” “Reminds me of David,” I told her. Remember when Samuel came to Jesse’s house looking for the next king? Jesse brought out...
