Silent Night........

December 18, 2012


MERRY "ALMOST" CHRISTMAS!!

I sure hope you're further along with your Christmas shopping than I am....I still have a ways to go and less than a week to do it in.  AGHHH.....

I'm also not one much for sending out Christmas cards and seriously, what could I tell you in a Christmas letter than I haven't already told you in Murphy's Mom Blog??.......So I thought I'd do something slightly different this year.

I did a YouTube Christmas Card!!
(Link below)

Yep, that's right......my non-existent Christmas cards have gone hi-tech and moved into the cheaper, quicker, less hand cramps mode....

I hope you enjoy......it's 4 minutes long but it says everything I'd like to say to you if you were sitting next to me right now as I type this.......with snapshots of our life over this past, often difficult, year.

But I'm thankful.........thankful for each and every trial that was thrown at us this year......thankful that we survived each of them.....actually grew in our faith because of them.......and are better equipped to handle whatever comes next.

Sit back and enjoy the Etheridge Christmas Card......from our hearts to yours. (Simply "Click" on the link below):

Nothing Like Fall In East Texas!!!

December 4, 2012


Nothing like Fall in East Texas!!


This was our beautiful Maple tree LAST week.....

And this is our beautiful Maple tree THIS week...

One thing I love about Fall in East Texas is it means another year older for my beautiful Meals on Wheels friend, Jewell, who I've gotten to know over the past 7 years.....The first birthday I remember her having was 99.....and she turned 106 yesterday!  Yep, that's what beautiful East Texas life will do for ya.....give you an amazingly loooonnnngggg life!!  I just love this gal!!

Another East Texas love I have is what I like to call "All-Inclusive-Shack-Stores"; and I mean this in the nicest and kindest way.  These are tucked behind quiet, hidden patches of pine trees.....down bumpy dirt roads with hand-written signs directing your way....and usually reside in a "vintage" trailer.

This particular one is called Handy Farms and is a drive-thru where you can purchase anything from Wine to Worms to Wisteria.....

With one honk, you can meet Melvin......OR......you can take a walk on the wild side and head on into his store where you can get your catawba worms and blackeyed peas from the same freezer....or have a wine tasting of some of his very own homemade watermelon wine....or maybe you need some ant killer, ice cream or french truffels.  They got it all at Handy Farms...

And don't forget to pick up your pansies and wisteria before you leave!!

This is the reason we moved to East Texas....for the beautiful Fall weather, long life and a having a little watermelon wine while fishing with your catawba worms on the dock.

            ..................LIFE IS GOOD....................
