Tis The Season for Consumables
Leslie is still deciding about her Bernina. She also has uncluttered her room. They talk about the Countdown to Christmas box from Missouri Star. While Leslie has been using all the things, Rochelle has been using some, but is also giving some of hers away. Construction in Leslie's area is so bad that Rochelle took forever to get to her house and now has a big plan to get home in the dark with Christmas cheer. Lyla got her Grinch quilt and also has a chance to meet the Grinch. Rochelle is preparing for sinus surgery and will have to learn how to breath out of her nostrils instead of her mouth. You won't believe what she is having to do to prepare! This is quite an episode! Enjoy!Special thanks to Osage Hills Retreat Center for sponsoring this week's podcast.
