Sorry this is a day late. I've been busy trying to get things back to order from our trip.

><>something old<><

the Dear America books...okay, I know these aren't really old but they're about old times and I love old times!

><>something new<><

some new Christmas decorations I got through the past year

><>something chipper<><

helping to save a bird's life...as I was decorating the house today, I heard a thump against the kitchen window. I looked out and there was a bird laying on my porch. When I went out to get a closer look, it was still alive but didn't look too great. I picked it up and found out it's neck wasn't broken so it must have just been stunned. After a while it got its legs under it and I sat it in the tree out front. He sat there for a long time, panting and then I think just resting before he finally flew away.

"Praise God from whom all blessings flow

Praise Him ye creatures here below

Praise Him above, ye heavenly host

Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost!"
