No wonder it felt cold when I got up this morning. I just checked the weather on the internet and it is only 28 degrees. I watched the news on TV last night, but I don't remember the weatherman forecasting it to be quite that cold.
Christmas Day, Dec 25, 2010
We had a delicious dinner of ham,butternut squash, potatoes, green beans, spinach souffle, homemade yeast rolls, fruit salad, and mince pie.
I finished knitting a pink baby blanket this afternoon. I didn't make it for any particular baby.

We went to a Christmas Eve candlelight service at church this evening. Pastor Bob gave the message. It was a good service.

Friday, Dec 17, 2010
I worked until noon. This afternoon I went to my weekly beauty shop appointment. I won’t go next week, but will go at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, December 30th.
We finished up some leftovers for dinner. For supper we had mackerel patties, salad, and fried potatoes. Sis had made some cookies today, so we had a couple of them for dessert.
I started knitting a pink baby blanket tonight. I got 15 rows done.
John called tonight and said Edna is in the hospital. It sounds like congestive heart failure. She has been in the hospital for about a week. He gave Phoebe her phone number so she can call her tomorrow.

I got up at 4:00 this morning and after checking my email, I knitted 10 more rows on the baby blanket. Then I made a pot of coffee. Sis got up later with a migraine headache and had to heat a rice bag and put it on her head for awhile.
Later we went out for breakfast. I brought half of mine home for tomorrow. When we left the restaurant we went to Wal-Mart. I wanted to buy a new coffeemaker for the office. I found one there and got it. It is programmable and has a charcoal filter to put in the tank. We have very hard water and the coffeemakers soon get limed up so I am hoping this will help.
We used a coupon later this afternoon to buy two Subway sandwiches for the price of one and Sis made apple dumplings for dessert. I have wanted homemade apple dumplings for awhile. They were delicious.
Sis and I both talked to Edna for awhile on the phone. She is hoping to go home from the hospital soon but so far the doctors don’t think she is ready.
Fred called later and we both talked to him. He had to go to the doctor and get medicine for an infected eye.

Caroling on the River
The weather was perfect for our outing last night.
It started out rather badly. We all met at the church parking lot to take a van ride downtown to the River Walk. Another of our three churches was to provide the van and driver. The man from our church who is coordinating the trips for all three churches checked twice in the last two days with the other church and was assured that the van and driver would meet us at our church between 6:45 and 7:00 p.m.
He didn't show up. So our coordinator went over to the other church and people there were having a meeting and a dinner and no one there seemed to know anything about the deal. They finally got him the key to the van and allowed him to drive it, as he had already taken the precaution of being put on their insurance for the van in case they needed another driver. He brought the van back and we all got down to the River Walk in time for our assigned barge ride. Thirteen of us went in the 15-passenger van and four more of our group met us down there.
Our barge ride left at 8:00 p.m. and the ride lasted for an hour. The lights decorating the route were beautiful and people on the sidewalks along the River Walk and eating at the outdoor restaurant tables there cheered and waved as we passed, singing Christmas carols as we went.
The ride doesn't normally take an hour, but we went slowly and stopped several times to sing at particular spots.
After it was all over and we were headed back to the church in the van, I was very glad that we had an experienced driver driving, as the traffic was worse than I have ever seen it. He has driven tour buses many times and wasn't a bit intimidated by the traffic.
We got home by 9:30 p.m. and I was soon ready for a good night's sleep. I just don't stay up as late as I used to.

Sunday evening
It was 42 when I went to church this morning, but warmed up nicely during the day. We didn't have as many people at church today. I counted 43.There were a few visitors, however.
When I got home we had some more of the Thanksgiving leftovers for dinner.
