Happy New Year!!

I had just gotten out of the shower and into my jammies intending to take a nap in preparation for my midnight shift at work when Brillo Man brought the mail inside.

And there it was! A package from Sara! The scarf is here! The scarf is here!
Olivia can hardly contain her excitement (and neither can I --in fact, I'm wondering how I'm going to possibly settle down and catch a nap before work because I'm so excited to receive the scarf!!)

Sara, thank you so much for the gift! She sent a vintage (I love all things vintage!) cup and saucer which belonged to her Grandmother...along with some wonderfully, rich smelling coffee with which to christen the cup. I promise I will taste the coffee and then pass it along to Brillo Man who is the King of coffee in this house. She also knows that I am a tea drinker and the cup will be used DAILY for my cup of tea! Sara, each time I use the cup, I will think of you and say a prayer.

Wow. I feel so blessed to receive this scarf. Even though I knew that I would receive it eventually...I'm more excited than I even thought possible. The connection that I feel to each and every one of you is astounding. The way God has knit us together - most of us have never even met - yet we are sisters.

I am blessed.

....stay tuned for some adventures!...although I'm not sure I can top that most recent performance with the Pips! ;)

Happy New Year to all!!

Goodbye From Dearborn

The Scarf has had a fine time with the family over the holidays. Now it's time for her to move on for her next adventure. Whose mail box will she end up in? All I know is that she's hopping on a bus, catching a plane or maybe just taking a midnight train...

I HAVE NO SHAME!

I am sure that by now, all of you think I am ready for the loony bin. This is clearly evident from some pictures I posted here in my apron and our baking day. Here's my latest act of self-promotion fro the whole wide world to see! Our 6 year old grand-daughter Jelly Bean LOVES Bat Man!! For Christmas some friends of theirs gave her this harness that fits like a backpack. When you pull the ripcord, bat wings fly out! I nearly died laughing she was so precious! Since I have been dubbed Miss Entertainment at times, I had to give it a try. Fortunately, I have no fear of being blackmailed because my husband knew what he was getting himsef in for when we got married! Without further adieu, I give you...
BATGIGI!!

Hi - Also trying it out!!

Hi Ladies
My name is Rebecca
I am the very "newling" to the Sisterhood.
I need a scarf, for I live in the frozen North.....Winnipeg to be exact.
My life is as most women of my age. Filled with a little granddaughter and two grown kids of my own. I moved back to Canada after ten years of living in Europe - the Netherlands and England
and it is taking me time to become adjusted to life here, especially in the winter - did I mention that I need a scarf??
I have been reading your blogs for some time now and look forward to hearing from each of you and also to taking the scarf on my travels and sharing my life with you all
A very Happy New Year to you all

Wrapped In Swaddling Scarf

Merry Christmas Scarf Sisters! We spent today at my mom & dad's house celebrating Jesus and singing bad karaoke. We ate too much prime rib, potatoes, corn casserole, rolls, jello, apple slaw and DESSERTS! The Scarf had a fine time being photographed with the family. Let's start with me & Daboyz!

Sara & Rob (Who apparently does not respect the sanctity of The Scarf)





Sara/h, Sara & Lexi

Amy & Sara

Sara & the Family

Dad, Sara & Dean

Sara & Dean

It's been long day and so I have taken a moment to ponder these things in my heart. I have to go now because Dean is saddling up a donkey as Caesar has declared a census and we must travel to Bethlehem...no wait. That was a different couple.

Anyway, Merry Christmas!!

The Scarf & The Elves

So here is the much awaited Scarf post! Yesterday (Tuesday) three of my favorite elves showed up to make some goodies. Left to right, Lexi, Sara/h, Sara, Mac. We baked for about four hours and ended up with buckeyes, magic cookie bars, lemon bars, cocoa crackles, oatmeal butterscotch cookies and walnut bars. And yes, we've already made a nice dent in our beautiful baked goods. This is a pic taken by the Mr. with my new Christmas camera so be patient with us while we learn to use it and maybe even post some Christmas video! Happy Christmas Eve!

Hello Dere!

Guess what I received in the mail today? The Scarf will be spending Christmas in Michigan with ten inches of snow on the way this evening! Tonight I'm cleaning house for a busy day tomorrow. Work and then the Mr. and the Metroband are coming to the hospital to sing Christmas carols with the patients. Afterward we're all returning to our house for a Christmas party. On Saturday it's off to my sister's house for her husband Rob's birthday. Next week it's Christmas Eve with we four and Christmas day with the Family. Won't you be sick of me! Look for pictures of the Scarf with Daband coming soon!

P.S. I got some yummy chocolates and a warm blanky in case I am trapped in my garage. As if that could ever happen! Lol.
