4 City Christmas Tour

 Hey Friends,

I guess we ended up with a mini Christmas tour this year. 1 date grew to 2, then 3, and now we are ending it with number 4 shortly before Christmas. We are celebrating the Joy of Christmas through song. 

We could have added more dates. I know we had some requests for other services. Due to my recent surgery, I only felt comfortable staying closer to home for this tour. 

The final countdown is on. It is an exciting time, but nerve-racking as well. We are working hard to prepare. It is coming down to the wire. 

We have 2 Christmas services this weekend. Both Friday and Saturday nights, we will also be joined by Bro. Colton Deane of Cantonment, Florida. We are so excited to sing with Colton. He is exceptionally talented!

A huge blessing for us this tour; since we are close to home, our band from DRPC has agreed to do most of these services with us. Mom and I are thrilled. That helps us tremendously. These 3 gentleman are like family to us, and we work together so often. It is extremely fun to make music with them!

Please keep us in your prayers. Stay tuned. I will recap each tour stop in a blog post. 

Thank you for reading. Hope we can see you soon.

Winter Weather Is Here

 Hey Friends,

We are still several days away from the official start date of winter on the calendar. Our first snow came last month, but it did not last long. We had a slight dusting of snow Saturday night, and it didn't even last long enough for pictures.

Here is the winter wonderland that came overnight, Monday into Tuesday. It was splitting snow when we were laid down Monday night. As the night progressed, I watched more snow come on my security cameras. By Tuesday morning, Mom and I guessed that we had somewhere between 4 and 5 inches of snow.

It was beautiful! The bad cold is here to stay for a while. Yesterday, I stayed snugly in the warm house. I had my heated throw close by for added warmth. 

I used the day for more recuperating. Mom made us some delicious chili for lunch and supper. It was a good snow day for me!

My photos was the closest we came to, my favorite, sunny beach weather yesterday. This cool tray on my Ottoman did make me smile. 

My Uncle Steve and Aunt Karen brought this to me recently. I absolutely love it! Thank you Steve and Karen for the “sick gift”! You helped me feel better. 

Thanks for stopping by for a visit! I will see you all tomorrow.

A Very Boggs Thanksgiving 2025

 Hey Friends,

Yesterday was our Boggs Thanksgiving. It was a fantastic day to have most of our family together. I love it when we are all able to be there for holidays. 

The Ohio, Alabama and North Carolina contingents of the family were present for Thanksgiving this year. Our afternoon was filled with family, fun, food, and fellowship! We are so grateful for God’s blessings on our family.’

We did miss Jonas, Kylee and Beckham! Their focus is getting little man well! We hope and pray they can be with us for Christmas! They may be a little closer to getting some answers, but still, they need our prayers. I know they are ready to be home as a family!

This year, our Thanksgiving menu was mostly catered by City Barbecue. That is a family favorite restaurant. The food was a big hit yesterday, too. We had smoked turkey, ham and brisket as the meats, and a myriad of sides. We all contributed drinks, a few sides and desserts. All together it was fantabulous Thanksgiving dinner. 

I will close with pictures from the Boggs Thanksgiving 2025. These pictures are a combination of mine, Mom’s, Aunt Theresa’s, Deidre’s and Uncle Tommy’s. 

I hope you enjoy a glimpse into our holiday. 

See you next time.
