Dear family,
Caroling
can be fun. I enjoyed singing with the
Middle Schoolers last Tuesday and the High schoolers last Wednesday. We went to pre-planned houses. Bobby does all the work getting times and
places lined up on lists for two groups to go out to. I enjoy his organization and the delight in
the people we visit. Although it really
doesn’t matter if we are on tune or not some youth were not OK with one
visit. Some were in one key and others
were in another. Oh the horror. So one person got a pitch pipe on their phone
but didn’t know what pitch we should sing to.
It was an interesting conundrum.
I am glad they do care.
Bobby
and I did enjoy a date last Saturday. I
am glad we talked about our future and that the future is bright. We will have a fun anniversary trip in
May. Thirty years of marriage is a big
deal.
Although
I normally don’t talk about work I do have to include several funny instances. I was leaving a message to a claimant asking
them to contact us by four means to fix their address. It’s a long message with good
information. In the middle of doing this
someone started rolling a cart behind me.
This startled me so much that I made a very loud scared voice as I was
leaving the message. I completed the
message fine with an, “Sorry, my coworker scared me.” Yet the office was in a fit of giggles and that
is worth mentioning.
While
I am at it there is another fun mention.
I was talking with a co-worker about how the sun is out (even though it
was a cloudy day). She is originally
from Arizona and said, “That . . is . . not . . the sun.”
Bobby
had us try out my ring light before the family came over (this years Christmas
family pictures will have good lighting by golly!).
He was so
impressed he bought one for the youth group.
How fun to have a photo op for the party. Not only that the gift exchange, cookie
decorating, games and random prizes were much appreciated. Yay! I
loved seeing some fun interactions, happy smiles and good times. I’ll have to say it, the food was fantastic as
well.
Adriel
and Seth both had finals so not much talk last week. This week they were on break so, YAY! More time to concentrate on family for the
holidays. We had a lovely celebration
this Saturday. We enjoy a wonderful meal
with hominy from dad, rolls from mom and cookies, cake and candy included. Bobby cooked ham, scalloped potatoes, salad
and lots of asparagus with bacon. Sooo
delicious! I am very glad we enjoy
getting together. It is fun to get
family pictures.
Seth
and Caren did have a silly incident. She
decided to pick a fight with him since he is a bit under the weather with a
cold. She said she can take him on and was
egging him on enough that he said, “You think you can take me on?” He stood up and said, “Stand up then.” This was met with a bunch of “Ohhhh’s” from
us and general laughter. Caren had to
mention how much she loves Seth’s dry sense of humor. Good times.
May
you also delight in your Christmas interactions. May your time with friends or family fill
your heart full to the brim. May you find
time to focus on Jesus’ birth and the fact that poor Mary was rejoicing in circumstances
when she could have been in a confused state of hardship. Traveling, on a donkey, while pregnant
without your mom around. Harsh. I really enjoyed my mother around for both pregnancies. Anyway, may you be glad that God loves us so
much.
Love
and hugs,
