The extra cold temps made me just want to snuggle under the covers and stay inside all day. But — I actually got up a little early to enjoy a hot shower. Not a lot to do at either store, and I was home and doing laundry by noon. I did stop in at Walmart to exchange the broken spray paint. Here is the project – both in the beginning and when it was finished.
It was apparently ‘shop with a cop’ day – there was no less than a dozen police officers in the store that I saw with young shoppers, and it was very interesting and intimidating to see all of them interacting with their shopping lists – and very visible fire arms!
On the way home from the store I passed a house with the biggest moose I ever saw! It was almost as tall as the house!
Yesterday afternoon my friend Patty did have her piano concert, and her grandson Jonathan and his fiancée Natalie joined her. Jonathan played guitar and Natalie sang, and of course Patty played piano.
Even though the snow was pretty, and the lights glowed on the deck, I was glad the roads were clear and safe for going out.
Last night’s Christmas program went very well. First we had dinner, catering arranged by Brandon and Annie Yeager – yum. And guess WHAT? They had M&Ms!!! The centerpieces and decorations were lovely.
After the chaotic rehearsal on Saturday we were all on edge, but every last person pulled it together! The skits – including Crazy Eddie/Larry and the Christmas Tree upstaged by the nativity scene – went off without hitches. The solos were sweet and clear, the readings (which Wayne and I did) went smoothly, and the children’s bell choir was cute and perfect. All this was despite the fact that the director was ill and could not attend. Several people (assisting Shelagh) pitched in and we can honestly say the evening was a success. Here are a few pictures. I was on stage and didn’t have a front view, but did have a Mary taking pictures for me from the audience!
But he IS the director’s husband…
December 19 – Tell about the worst Christmas present you ever received as a child. “I don’t think I ever had a bad Christmas present when I was a child. We didn’t get things very often & we felt very happy with whatever we got.”
Calendar inspiration – Wherever you go, bring good cheer and a smile – make a big impression!

TOMORROW December 20th is:
It may be too cold to go caroling; it’s to be below average temps all week. I’ll probably grab a few groceries on the way home tomorrow and stay inside the rest of the day. God bless!
