Yesterday was one of those non-stop go kinda days and by the end of the day, I was exhausted. I even fell asleep with my computer on my lap trying to catch up everybody's blogs last night! I must have been more tired than I thought, LOL!
The highlight of my day yesterday was getting to go to my old crochet class' annual Christmas party. When I first started this blog, I mentioned how I used to attend a crochet class. I started going to the class when Alyssa was about 1 1/2 and I continued to go until the time Audrey was born. The class was held every Wednesday from 1-3 p.m. and it was there that I got to learning just about everything I know about crocheting! I enjoyed the fellowship with the ladies, all whom could have been my grandmothers! When I was pregnant with Audrey, the ladies threw me a sweet little shower that was so special. Even though it's been almost two years since I've been to class, it's so special that they still invite me to the Christmas party. This year it was held at the home of one of my classmates and it was decorated so beautifully for Christmas!
We had a potluck luncheon and after that we did out annual gift exchange. Our teacher gave each of us these hand crocheted kitchen scrubbies, which were so neat!
While at the party, I spent most of my time visiting with my teacher. This was us at the party yesterday.
Her name is Marilyn and earlier yesterday I learned that she just found out this week that she has breast cancer. They've already scheduled the surgery for a double mastectomy for Monday, December 21st. For all these years, Marilyn has been like another mother to me and it hurt so much to learn of the cancer. If you would be so kind as to keep Marilyn in your prayers that would mean so much to me!
Well, I'd better get going for now. My girls are still up since their cousin Breanna is here visiting tonight and I've got to get them ready for bed! Goodnight everybody!
