Well, I haven’t had a day like yesterday
since … last December. That statement
might be a bit misleading. It’s not like
I accomplished some dramatic yearly obsession or anything. And we didn’t finish Christmas shopping,
either. Nope. This was a simple enough one. I started and pretty much completed planning
for our yearly Christmas White Elephant/Reindeer Games Party. There are still a few things left to do, like
going shopping for the awesome prizes.
But for the most part the party has been planned. Thursday evening at 7. Come.
I also had to spend some time doing my
usual Monday work for work since we ended up at the church all morning on
Monday un-Christmassing the Retreat Center.
Chris even went back up there again yesterday. A director of an activity that big has a
never-ending job. She also spent a good deal
of time in the kitchen putting together some Christmassy treats. I live in a great place to be around during the
Christmas season. Well, it’s pretty
great all year ‘round, but there ARE seasonal perks …
Meanwhile stuff is piling up on our plate
every day. We found out last night that
a long-time neighbor died. I went to
school with her daughter, and her son and his wife still live in the
neighborhood. That funeral is
Thursday. Christina also needs me to go
with her to get a new phone. Looks like
hers is giving up the ghost. That’s happening
Thursday, too. This afternoon we pick up
Cailyn from school and take her to the eye doc to get her contacts checked
out. Yep, the youngster is wearing
contacts. Really helps with softball,
but she looks just a bit too grown-up. Friday
evening is the Fire Department administration party that we have been
graciously invited to attend. And Sunday
we leave right after church to drive to Houston to see the Trans-Siberian
something or other at the Toyota Center.
We are pretty excited about that one.
We have heard lots about it and have seen TV commercials, of course, but
I’m sure in person is better. It’s gonna
be one of those weeks …
1 Corinthians 15:57 says, “But thanks be to God! He gives us the
victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Father, thank you for “good-busy”
weeks. Amen.
