Knowing how important doing all the right things is for you and me, especially at this time of year, I thought you might want to check out what our friend, Martha, has planned for this month. I'm actually rather appalled that she put it off to this late date. I finished most of these projects in August, except for the Virgin Birth which of course must be done at the last minute.
