Beth bought a couple boxes of gourmet cookies to give to the DART drivers, the dispatchers and others who work to get her where she needs to go. I'm not always sure how companies are handling the latest strain of covid so I didn't want to make something at home. So she included a small tray they could set all the cookies on when he got back to the base, along with a card thanking all of them for helping her.
One week after Thanksgiving our staff at work got together and... decorated for Christmas! Each department decorates a different area and it usually takes us about three hours, then we order pizza and all have lunch together.
The Front Office - During and After
Our main entrance
This is the area where I worked, helping to put up and decorate this tree, then my boss and I hung white stars from the ceiling. The same stars as on top of the trees.
I love the way our church looks at Christmas. I wish we could leave it up all year!
It was time for some shoe shopping this week. Beth couldn't find the same shoes she's worn lately so she tried on some Sauconys. They're the shoes I bought for our Israel trip in May and they're fantastic. I wore them exclusively in Israel and almost constantly since we got home, and they just now need to be replaced.
She did her usual strut walk around the aisles (her stride is not that big when she's walking!) and decided to buy a pair. I bought another pair too.
What is it about shopping? Walking out of a store with an arm load of bags just makes you feel so good, doesn't it?! I hope you've had a good weekend!

Oh those trees/decorations all look so lovely! I can imagine how beautiful it must all look together! Wonderful! And how sweet to give cookies to the drivers! I am sure they appreciated it. Nice to find some good shoes that fit well and feel good! Yes, I tend to go back for more of the same when I find something that really fits! Looks like you both had a good time! Merry Christmas!
Our ladies ministry leaders have a end of year meeting and potluck the monday after Thanksgiving and then we all chip in to decorate the church for Christmas. We are not as large as your church. It is nice to have the church all decorated for Christmas. Hooray for new shoes!
I always say that too - I love the glow of christmas trees & wish they could stay up all year... but I wonder if that would make them not as special or beautiful.
Your church's decorations look fabulous. Great job to all the departments who worked so hard!! I love the fun Beth has shopping!! And yes, it does feel good to walk out with bags of purchases!! Indeed!
A busy week! Beautiful decorations and hats off to Beth for her generous gesture to her drivers.
The decorations are beautiful!
Lovely decorations! Please tell Beth I love her new shoes!
