Beth Ferrier’s Blog

Oh, hello again!

I keep thinking that I need to update the blog, but then, for the life of me, I can’t think of a single clever thing to tell you. Life has been rather daily here lately, which, I must admit, has been devine.

After a small hiccup the last of of the pre-publication orders has been shipped. I placed the order for the magical Wash Away Applique Sheets and then left town for a week. Somehow the order was mixed up and didn’t ship until more than a week after. Geesh. But the box has arrived (and nearly emptied, thank you very much), and at last we are caught up with the early orders. Thanks so much for all your patience.

 On the home front, we’re busy celebrating birthdays and decorating for Christmas. My youngest son has just turned 21. He is a sweet and tenderhearted dork who can’t seem to get out of his own way. He still hasn’t learned, despite all the supporting evidence, that his mom is always right. (Not that she would ever say “I told you so”.)

We’re also celebrating the 21st birthday of my third son’s fiancee. Elaine has been a part of our family for a couple of years now, and we couldn’t be more delighted. She’s smart, hardworking, creative and absolutely perfect for Caleb.

And it’s a milestone birthday for my parents, who turn 75 (my mom) and 80 (my dad) today. Still active and vital, I wonder how old they will have to be to be old people.

I have been recently horrified to learn that I am fat. It’s amazing what a series of candid photos will show. This has come as quite a shock because, because, I have to tell you, I look pretty great in the mirror over the bathroom sink. I go for a routine colonoscopy on Thursday. I’m thinking it might be the perfect time to consider what kind of stuff I will put back into my newly cleaned system.

We have been busy decorating the house for Christmas.  We have five full size trees and several little trees, almost a tree in every room. I’ll post pictures in a couple of days. We’re hosting a family party on Sunday. We are supposed to get snow this week, just in time to set a cozy Christmas scene.

So there you have it. Daily life in the Ferrier household. Pretty boring and loving it.
