Hacker is a modern-day parable that examines the staggering world around us-the seen and the unseen- and reminds us that there's far more to who we are than meets the eye.
The second book was a free,digital short story I had missed. It is a prequel to Mortal. This book was called The Keeper,from 2011. More good stuff. ;) Nope, you won't catch me complaining about Ted's writing. He has written 47 books. I have read 45. I am in the process of trying to acquire The Drummer Boy and The Promise: A Christmas Tale through our library. There is one librarian who works very hard to locate books for you from who-knows-where?!
This is what kept me busy Monday.
Madeleine wrapped a tape measure around Henry's tiny front leg and got a width of 1.5 inches. He is so fragile.
I will be giving Mabel a haircut soon also.
Theotokos is coming along. Picture next time.
I have been baking chocolate chip cookies and breads.
Keep warm my friends! I thank you for stopping by. I love reading your comments and I appreciate you taking the time to leave one.
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

Merry Christmas! Hope you & your family have a wonderful day.
Mabel looks beautiful!
Love your little ornament finish!
Bread & cookies look so appetizing :)
Such a pretty ornament vickie.
Merry Christmas to you, Vickie!! Enjoy your lovely day together!! I feel for your dogs... I just took ours out and it lasted for all of maybe 1 minute. It could be a long few days for them. They really need to be groomed, too, but I've been putting it off because of the snow. Wish I knew how to do it myself. You do a great job!!
Merry Christmas! Love Brian's gift. Henry is so cute! How often do you have to give the pups a grooming? I feel like Henry just had a haircut the other day. lol!
Brian's ornament is just gorgeous! Stitching and finishing! I looked into Ted Dekker books on CD at my local library--not exactly what I like to read. Henry looks like a poodle again! Our grand dog, Rusty (Henry's twin), fractured his ulna on his front left leg, so has a little cast on it. Looks so sad... But he will be up and around in little time, I am sure!
Hello Vickie
Happy Christmas!
Love the ornament and the way you finished it.
Henry looks just gorgeous x
Merry Christmas to you and Brian!
The ornament that you stitched for him is just wonderful, and you finished it so beautifully. A great gift.
Merry Christmas sweet friend , love the ornament and the hair cut.
Oh and the bread looks yummy .

Merry Christmas! Your ornament is so gorgeous! What a cutie little Henry is. I don't think I've posted a picture of Mitzi since she's been groomed...she's just adorable and it makes all the difference. I'll post one next time on my blog.
Many blessings - Julie
Happy Christmas to you Vickie!
Love your ornament for Brian.
Henry is so adorable, you are good at this.
Your bread look perfect. Enjoy
Lovely finished ornament, it has a real depth to it for a small piece. I hope your day yesterday was special. I like the new hair cut, Brandy had his done at the weekend - he needs clipped every five weeks usually.
I'm sure your Christmas day was a special one, Vickie--and the ornament is so cute. Love the shape of it! Henry is looking all spiffed-up for the new year :)
Stay warm out there--we were at 0° this morning, but I know things are even colder out your way!
Merry Christmas. :)
Stay warm!!!
Merry Christmas to you Vickie! I hope you had a blessed day! I love your sweetie's ornament!
Merry Christmas to you, my dear friend, Vickie
Merry Christmas Friend
You are so talented.
Henry is soo cute.
Warm Woolie Hugs
Your ornament finished beautifully and the pristine snow makes for a nice background haha. Looks like some fine ice cream making snow to me.....
Love the bread. I can never get mine to rise properly in winter without having the oven on for a few minutes and a pan of hot water under the dough!
Poor Henry, having to lose all that fuzz in such chilly weather haha. That little cartoon is adorable. I could easily replace those poodles with our cats, the black one is definitely Oreo!
Lovely finishing of the ornament - love the shape. I hope you had blessed Christmas.
Thank you for your comments on my blog.. sounds as though you had a lovely and blessed Christmas .. loved that cartoon at the end of your post!
So true!!
Blessings Chris x
