Nothing too life-shattering or glamorous happening at the Youree house of late--and we're happy about that!
Acorns are still falling like leaves, or as I say drowning my yard. It is a never-ending battle to pick them up; heck, we're even bribing the neighbor kids with money and sugar so they'll help. How about we play a game? Whoever can count all the acorns in the pic, gets a prize: Two, all-inclusive nights at the Youree acorn farm!
Aside from our domestic duties, we're also getting into the party spirit with the holidays around the corner. Last weekend, I hosted a Pure Heart International party. It's a great organization who ships jewelry right to your door. This hand-made loot is crafted by at-risk women in Thailand. All the proceeds from the sales goes directly back to this organization to help provide income and housing for women coming out of prostitution and poverty.
This weekend is full with a holiday party, lunch with a special niece, Christmas shopping, service project with our small group, church event, and a birthday party to boot. Whew, I'm tired just typing it. The Sunday afternoon nap will be soooooo enjoyable. :-)
Next week, we are traveling to Oklahoma and Arkansas. I'm so looking forward to it. We will spend Thanksgiving with Bryan's side, and then see my mom and hopefully my brother and niece on Friday.
