Winter Carnival 2024: Marshmallow Mountain Retreat

[Leala]

 

It's that time of year!  The White Ajah welcomes you to our Winter Carnival!

 

We're pretty quiet nowadays, though.  So, we're just hosting an easy-going get-together.

 

Join us, grab some cocoa (or just a bunch of marshmallows) and tell us something good that happened to you this year.  Give us a good memory.  Tell us something you're excited for.  Just get in here and chat with us!  We're happy to have you here. 🤍

well you had me at marshmallow mountain

 

*grabs a hot caramel hot chocolate and a small mountain of marshmallows to go in it, plops down in a chair* 

 

hmmm good things that happened this year.....hmm... welli suppose the best thing was i was finally able to release the book i work on with mom before she passed. and it has become the best selling book i've made so far. but mostly it was seeing it in print, seeing her name on it and peoples support and reaction to it

Cross is so modest. She didn't mention how excellent that book is!

 

I love hot chocolate! I'll help myself to some rich chocolate with marshmallows.

 

As you probably all know, I am in the  process of moving. There have been some major hiccups in my receiving my money from the sale of my home. It is supposed to come no later than tomorrow. I have enough to get the truck and we will start loading it tomorrow regardless. Worse case scenerio, we end up getting a second truck, filling them both, and getting a motel for a day or two.

 

I just hope there is NOT no room at the Inn. I never mind being like Jesus, but I don't want to spend Christmas like his first one! Humor gets me through. What can I say?

Hot chocolate is my favourite beverage! *Drools*

 

The best thing that happened to me this year is that I had cataract surgery on both eyes so now I can see so much better!

And since I finally got my new computer glasses last Friday, I can start to spend a bit more time online.

Cross, I'm so glad  you have a wonderful memory like that.  ❤️  That's so sweet. Thank you for sharing.  What is the book about?

 

You got this, Lily!  Moving is such a pain...

 

I'm glad you got all that done, Mother!  *hugs*  I hope the healing process goes smoothly.

 

I'm working on a shawl for my little sister, and I think I'm going to finish it today.  My sister-in-law gave me some yarn at Thanksgiving, and there was some in there that made me think of my little sister.  I had to buy some black yarn to go with it, because they don't make this color anymore, but it's looking nice so far.  I just have to finish this last row for the main body, and then the edging.  Then I have to weave in the ends.  🙂

ooo knitting or crochet? my sis does both, she prefers knitting though. oh! reminds me, yesterday the prayer group at church apparently have also become a crocheting circle, they made sis and me scarves! such a nice surprise. 

 

the book? my favorite explanation is the tag line:  'a new house, a new life and two dead bodies in the safe'

 

so glad you finally got those glasses @Elgee! seeing helps with so much
