Only a few more days until Santa! SANTA! I KNOW HIM! (Movie quote…) I got up extra early to prep for the day. Changed sheets, got ready, had breakfast. Kathy and Paul picked me up at 8:15am and we parked at Kyle and Sarah’s. We headed to Pittsburgh to the Byham Theater to see A Musical Christmas Carol.

As is typical, we exited the tunnels going into the city and the skyline was impressive. And there was sunshine! But it was very cold and windy. Thankfully there is a parking garage across from the theater and we only had to cross the street.

We were there in plenty of time. There were 6 of us: Kathy, Paul, Sarah and Kyle and Millie, and me. Wyatt stayed home with Kyle’s dad, Chuck. I only got a few photos inside – there was not supposed to be pictures during the play. But it was a very nice performance and there’s always a certain magic to live theater!

Beautiful picture! – but notice Sarah making bunny ears behind Kathy! 🙂

When we came out of the theater it was snowing! Paul had chosen The Redbeard for us to eat lunch. I had a fish sandwich and it was very good – but huge. I brought half of it home to have for supper.

The drive home was blustery until we – again – got through the tunnels. There was still a bit of snow on the ground but it wasn’t snowing and the roads were clear. We all enjoyed seeing the city in the snow. It really was beautiful.

So now it’s back to reality and I need to make my list for the next 3 days – work and shopping and prepping. It did snow a bit since we got home but I don’t think we are to get any more.

My blessing today was a Pittsburgh trip with my family!

PEANUTS Thought for the Day:

TOMORROW December 22nd is:

Forefather’s Day; Mathematics Day; National Flake Day; National Cookie Exchange Day; National Nut Bread Day.

Yesterday’s fake day was National Fly Day. TOMORROW: I can do cookies and nut bread, but I’ve never been good at math! And celebrating forefathers is embracing history! God bless…
