The View from My Chair

Yes, my friends, is me — digitalKaren — finally blogging again!  I have been in San Diego with my parents for almost a month.  Norm is flying in today and I am so excited!  I know he’s excited too!  He doesn’t like to be apart from me and I miss him when he’s not around.  I guess that’s why we got married in the first place.

Christmas is coming and I couldn’t ask for a better Christmas present than to be reunited with my husband.  If it weren’t for Google video chat, I think he would’ve gone crazy because he likes to see me on a daily basis.  I must admit I feel the same way most of the time.  (Wink.)

I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and my prayer is that you will remember the true reason for the season.  It’s not about decorations and festivities and gifts and crowds.  It’s all about God’s pursuit of us.  My brother talked about it yesterday at church. We don’t need to go out and find God ourselves because he is pursuing us.  Have you noticed?  You think about it.

With the Thanksgiving and Christmas season upon us, it bring so many fun ideas to the front.  It’s of course the time of year where parties are on tap and the reason to hold one is so easy to come up with.  Just to have a get together with one’s friends and of course family members can be planned and pulled off just by saying it’s Turkey Day or it’s Christmas, no one really needs a gold plated invitation.  Continue reading this post…

With my wife away, that’s why you are seeing blogs written by me, the backup team, it’s a perfect time for me to think about, even if I had a means of transportation, which I don’t, to go out and look around for the gift of all gifts to give her on Christmas Day.  And if I can’t hold in my excitement, Christmas Eve.  Continue reading this post…

It’s going to be several days before Karen is back to take care of writing her blog so in the mean time you are going to get to read stuff from me, the second team. Continue reading this post…

Proving once again that the old saying, “When the cat’s away, the mice will play”, here I am typing away on The View from My Chair.  The second team.

But it’s fun for me to sit here and come up with ideas and add them to Karen’s blog while she’s over in California. Continue reading this post…

Hello once again from Scottsdale, Arizona.  I’m Karen’s husband.  Karen is over in California with her family and we talk several times a day via the phone.  I find that enjoyable, but no where near as nice as having us together in our little house. Continue reading this post…

Here I am, at the keyboard again.  Typing my little fingers away and just having a great time.  There are those out there who would say that this is work.  But not me, it’s fun to sit before a keyboard and screen and watch as the letters turn into words as they dance across the screen.  Bunches of fun.

I realize that the official Turkey Day was last Thursday, and I celebrated in spirit, but not with a meal of Turkey and all the trimmings. Just didn’t happen that way.  But thanks to Linda and Gerry, that changed as of lunch today.  I got to feast on real Turkey, cranberry sauce, green beans and onions, sweet potatoes, and stuffing, and a roll.  They brought it over last night and I heated it up, all but the cranberry sauce, and I have to tell you it hit the spot.
