the stockings aren't hung by the chimney....

In fact, we aren't really needing a chimney right now.....it's a little warm around here. But colder weather will come--be ready to enjoy the eight hours of it!!
I'm planning on participating in BooMama's Bloggity Christmas Tour, but can anyone tell me how to put the cute little button on here???? I don't know HTML from Adam........If I get the html code, where do I put it? Can I just cut and paste the picture???
Thanks to anyone who can help this techno-challenged blogger......
Merry Christmas, by the way!!

They went, they played, they did good!!!

Well, the Stephen F. Austin High School Marching band & Angels went to the Bands of America Grand Nationals held in Indy last weekend, and they did great! There were over 90 bands competing, 30 semi-finalists were chosen, then 12 finalists. Not only did they place in the Semi-Finals, but they ranked 8th out of the 12 finalists. All things considered, those were GREAT results!!! Yeah, for SFA Marching Band and Angels; you are to be commended, and will be remembered for sure!!!!

Oh, Hinterlands inspired me to go check out the new themes, and looky what I found!!! How cool is this????
I love fall and I love re-decorating, so it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, internet friends! This is the coolest scenery ever!
I cannot believe I haven't posted anything since Oct. 4, but October has been SUCH a crazy busy month...and November will be the same. Two of my three children have birthdays in October, we had a Ladies Retreat in October, and I have done lots of other jobs in the month of October. Fortunately one of them will enable me to pay my way to see the AHS Band perform at the Grand Nationals in Indy in November! Yay. They already took first place in BOA regionals; they are really good this year!! I wish you all could see their show. They have two more football games in which they perform at half time should you be so inclined to see them.
I have sooooo enjoyed the weather this week in our area! REALLY fall like.....hope you've enjoyed it also!

Indelible Grace--You know I love them!

You can get a free download of this new song by Matthew Smith....it's lovely, and take a look and see if Indelible Grace might be coming to your area!!! It would be fabulous to see them again!

A Free Song That Saves Lives + Free Chord Charts

How can a song save lives? At HopeAmp.com, Indelible Grace's Matthew Smith is giving away the title track to his latest hymns CD, All I Owe, to do just that.

Email your friends, put it in your church bulletin, write on your blog, announce it on Facebook or MySpace-- the more people who download, the more will be donated. And it's a great way to introduce people to hymns. Click here to get started!

To celebrate the launch of HopeAmp, Matthew is making free chord charts available for six of the songs on All I Owe. Click here to find out more.
