The Saturday Six

 

One.

This week, Ryan and I were interviewed by Gateway Woods about our work at WillowBridge. This may be the most unflattering camera angle I've ever had. Its true that you can't hide a fluffy season - so we'll call a spade a spade on that, but being sunken down in an equally fluffy couch with a straight on camera doesn't help. So just close your eyes and listen! 

Two.

I may have mentioned these before on the Saturday Six, years ago, because we had one at WBCL when I worked there. But we just got one for the WillowBridge Community Room dishwasher, and it's so handy! It's a magnet you can flip over to indicate whether the dishes inside are clean or dirty! Helpful when you don't want to have to rewash an entire load! (And if you don't like that style, you can search for one that fits you better.)

Three.

Where are my Hallmark Christmas movie friends?? I found this most amazing free downloadable bundle that I have to tell you about! It includes games you can play while watching any Hallmark/Lifetime/similar movie. It also has party hosting tips, movie recommendations based on what you want to see, and a full schedule of the 2020 movie lineup! It even has DEVOS!!!! And did I mention it's free??

Four.

I can't crochet, but IF I COULD...I would be making these adorable baby hats for gifts. SO CUTE!!!! (Also - learning to crochet is on my bucket list. I was reminded of that yesterday when I put on the hat Ryan's aunt Sandy crocheted for me. His mom had one just like and she liked twinning with me.) 

Five.

The perfect fall gift - a s'mores gift basket - gifted inside a lantern!!!!!

Six.

One of my friends posted this week about Facebook Live Bible study that takes place every weekday morning. I checked it out a couple of days and enjoyed what I learned! The studies take about an hour per session, so I'm not able to catch all of them, but I wanted to share it with you in case you want to check it out! The two ladies who host it just started a brand new study on James. They only do a verse a day, so you're not too far behind! Here is the link to their regular website (Barn 45), but the study is on Facebook.

I never had a dishwasher magnet - I am very empty it all at once bc dirty dishes never go in the sink -- right into the washer!

Good job on the interview! I watched part of it and will listen to the rest while I’m cleaning today! It’s fun to hear you and Ryan again!

Watched the video nice information and was shocked when your cat came up on the couch. Is Breya getting use to people in the house 24/7. You always stated she would hide when you had company and maybe she liked Ryan more. This time she pretty much ignored Ryan. Please tell how she is coping with people in her space all day.

Tamar - we are too! But sometimes we don't get the one in the community room emptied right away and then tenants open the door and throw in something dirty!

Tracy - Thank you!

Anonymous - We were shocked too! She'd been napping and I didn't expect her to join us at all! The tenants don't come in our apartment, and we don't let her out into the community room, so she really only sees us and sometimes Tim and Justine if they come over to hang out or to have a meeting. Over the course of the last year, she's been getting braver with people if they aren't too loud. I think small group helped with that. That crowd particularly intrigued her and she would visit more frequently. So I guess Jon, who was interviewing us in the video, was on her approved quiet list. She never pays as much attention to me as she did in that video. She's still Ryan's girl all the way. I have no idea why she hung out with me for that time frame, but she did!

Those crocheted baby hats are ADORABLE!!!

And I don't know whether or not I should sign up for the Hallmark movie bundle -- I think Rachel and I might get TOO into it :)

Thank you for sharing the video! It was so interesting and also great to see and hear you and Ryan again!

Good Morning from Greentown! I have a question. You've probably answered it many times before, but how about one more time! The tree and star lights behind your couch are the topics? The tree...is it a tree? Where did you find it and the branches? Where are the star lights from? Inquiring minds want to know!

I find your new journey exciting and interesting. So glad that you are able to work for the Lord in this new setting. I also think Abby is going to be fun. Will it have a pull along for Mom and Dad when you go to see your sister? :-)

Thanks for letting me know the important details...tree/branches...lights/source!

Natasha - You should sign up for it! You'd love the bingo game!!!

Shari - Awwwwww yay! We are trying to figure out a good time to try to meet up with you for a meal!

Cathy - Good afternoon! So good to hear from you! I actually don't think I have talked about that tree too many times! The tree itself - which is lighted - is from Hobby Lobby. They normally have them out in the entry (at least at the Kokomo one) or right there at the front wall. In its normal state it looks like a cherry blossom tree. We bought it last year for our sun porch at our old house. This summer, when I went to Hobby Lobby, they had decorated these trees with fall leaf garlands, and I loved how they looked, so we got three garlands and draped them through the branches to make it less springy. :) Since we don't have a sun porch here, we put it behind the couch.

Thanks for following along with our journey! We are SO EXCITED to fix up Miss Abby and go for adventures. LOL - I don't think Dad likes being a passenger!
