Today's mosaic is titled 'Birthday Girl' The birthday girl is Yanda, my daughter. (All protocols observed) All vaccinated, a tiny group of family and friends (all girls party) went to the safe zone  'A Cup of Joe' in Woodbrook on the eve of her birthday to celebrate her turning 50.  That left her, alone time on, her actual birthday the 28th to relax and spend the day reading a book.

Saying goodbye to month of November  and thanks for all the blessings.

 Quadrille #141: Heady is the Poem That Wears the Crown 

Challenge: to write a quadrille using any form of the word Crown

SAVIOUR AND KING

An earthly crown to pierce his head;

And he, heavenly crowned, to rule

For ever and ever over all, 

That has been created.

Ergo the manger awaited his coming;

Where three kings, already in crowns,

Paid homage, bearing gifts of 

Gold, frankincense and myrrh.

Quadrille #118: In the Inglenook
 MY INGLENOOKThere's neither snow blizzard nor hoarYet i seek shelter to be lost and wonderWith my little gifts of dinosaursI spend my time in my little corner Snug in pandemic days with little monstersIn an imagined Inglenook gives me much pleasure© gillena cox 2020

NOTE:

An inglenook (Modern Scots ingleneuk), or chimney corner, is a recess that adjoins a fireplace. The word comes from ingle, meaning "fireplace" in Old English (from Old Scots or Irish aingeal, "angel" or euphemistically "fire"), and nook.

QUADRILLE - GLOW
A warm glow of expectancy,
a knowing of what is already revealed,
keeps coming back,
the affirming, the waiting once more,
is worth the hope of the human heart,
cleansed to fill itself of love,
for one another,

For His sake and our reward.

Monday WRites 223

[my 2nd week of Advent table centerpiece]

My November 2019 perks of joy came in celebration at 2 events. Firstly; reading of 'Anansi An Unusual Experience' published by authourhouse this year, at the library near me. I am ever grateful to the library staff for making this happen.

What a fun morning, the Standard 4 Ascension Anglican Primary class was appreciative warm and outgoing. They were ready to participate in discussion after the story and happy to answer questions about the story and to ask me questions on my writing. One child received a surprise gift copy of the book, having sat on a seat that was tagged. A copy was also given to the teacher so the whole class could have access to a copy.

Secondly my daughter's birthday, we did a late lunch at a restaurant of her choice, she is first of my two children and she is forty-eight this year.

And with that we were thrown into The Season of Advent again to wait in hope of God's love realized. Advent is my favourite season, after all it takes me to CHRISTMAS.

tinsel and baubles –
the sound of paper tearing
between giggles

QUADRILLE: SEASON OF ADVENT
A purple candle on the Advent wreath lit
In a spirit of hushed humility,

For i am anxious for Christmas
With its glamour and glitter
Its brightly sparkled Christmas trees,

Yet i must delay in the season of prophecy,
Waiting, again with hopeful expectation.

SIPS OF JOY
Sips of joy, lets be ready
To welcome Mary's baby boy
Once again our heart we share
For Christmas time comes around
Nearer and nearer a star shines
Over a stable of majesty.
