Dec 18, 2025 @ 08:23 Good morning family & friends❣️ 2 of the grands were here overnight, it was a wonderful way to start the day, making them breakfast and spending a few minutes with them before they left! And now I will be going back to bed for a while, so I will see you later with a health update 🤕😵😣, Christmas song #4, a Thrilliant Thursday post, a health update, and, of course, Don's guest post. Hope you have a great day! Until later...❣️🥱🤕🙏🛌 chia.owly.net/aint-that-the-truth ~ chia.owly.net/video-of-the-day ~

Christmas Song Day 3

Christmas Song Day 3 – Chia Chatters

Dec 17, 2025 @ 11:44 Good morning family & friends❣️ It is supposed to be in the 40s today. Which is good as I have a lot to do today. I have a couple of errands to run (Pete will be with me of course.) Make dog food. Record today's Christmas song. Meme hunt for Wed Wags. Put together/post same. Grands coming to spend the night later this evening. Pete and I are having a little pizza date here (ordering in). His ham club is having a winter "picnic" at their pizza diner this evening that he can't attend so we'll have our own pizza here. So it will be a fun but busy day. Hence I am doing a "cheat" for the mini-devo today. I will see you later, have a great day❣️ 🙌 🎶 🌟 👑 🌟 🛐 ❄️ 🎄 chia.owly.net/aint-that-the-truth ~ chia.owly.net/video-of-the-day ~

Dec 16, 2025 @ 18:59 Good evening family & friends❣️ Well it has been a strange day but ok. My blog stuff took 6 hours, probably because I didn't sleep well last night so have been kind of "off" mentally all day...just one of those things 🤷‍♀️. I've spent the last few hours in escape mode. Pete made me a meal that really hit the spot though I didn't really have an appetite all day so that was a pleasant surprise! He is the best husband ever 👩‍❤️‍👨! Not really a whole lot to write about tonight, just about to take care of the PoiBoiz for the night (fresh food and water) and then crawl into bed, and I will see you in the morning. Good night, sleep tight❣️🥱🤕🙏🛌

Christmas Song Day 2 – Chia Chatters

Dec 16, 2025 @ 11:59 Good morning family & friends❣️ And just barely too! Pete is out running errands and has an appointment in Saginaw also. So far I have just been working on my blog since I got up a couple of hours ago, and will move to my keyboard shortly. No big plans for the day, hoping for a nap (didn't sleep well last night) once I record and get Tuesday Titters done, will have to do some meme hunting as well. We'll see how the day goes though. It is starting to warm up a bit from the last few days of below zero wind chill temps and should be more normal soon. That's about it I guess, and I will see you later, have a great day❣️ 🙌 🎶 🌟 👑 🌟 🛐 ❄️ 🎄 chia.owly.net/aint-that-the-truth ~ chia.owly.net/video-of-the-day ~

The Joy of Christmas: Finding True Joy in Union with Christ

My youngest daughter loves Christmas. Of course, she loves it for the same reasons other kids her age do but there’s also a very specific reason:...

Dec 15, 2025 @ 18:06 Good evening family & friends❣️ Well, today was a day, all right! Pete was gone most of the afternoon, I was at the keyboard most of the day, but also of course spent time with the birds, and did some cooking. Crazy stuff, I spent nearly 2 hours recording - aiming for as near to perfect as possible, even when I got as close I could a parrot would squawk or Maisie would have a coughing fit...anyway I was finally satisfied and started the editing process and discovered I had no sound! NONE! It was only after a bunch of fits and struggles that I remembered I had used the camera to watch the birds outside on my monitor, turning off the microphone so that Big Brother wouldn't be listening to the goings on in our home the entire time... 🤦‍♀️ (and just for full effect, 🤦‍♀️!) So I had to start all over again. To say I had to settle for less in the end would be a true statement, no less than to say I am absolutely beat and my brain is beyond exhausted. BUT I did it so my heart is exhilirated or however it's spelled. And now I'm on my way to bed and I will see you in the morning, good night❣️🥱🤕🙏🛌
