a quiet soft day

It has been a quiet soft day.  I woke early after a night of very poor sleep.  I didn't drink enough water yesterday and had muscle cramps all night.  We went to church -yes on Christmas, imagine that- and then I came home and fixed a Christmas dinner of roasted chicken and dressing, sweet potatoes, noodles and salad.  It was all very satisfying and we are still stuffed.  Mom watched Lawrence Welk on PBS and then we went out to see Christmas lights with her.  She got tired very quick and all we really got to show her was the Garrison Ave. area and Creekmore Park before she was ready to come home.  I'm looking forward to seeing more family and friends during this awesome season of Celebration of the Gift of God.  Be blessed.

  1. I will be coming to see you very soon.

    I'm glad you spent the time out, even if it was short-lived and less than you imagined. One day it will still matter, as you well know. So, it sounds like you had a day of immeasurable wealth.

  4. we had a candlelight Christmas eve service and no service on Sunday. (happens every seven years) but when I was Lutheran - we had two on Christmas Eve and one on Christmas Day. I remember both being beautiful - but Christmas day was never as packed to the gills as the Christmas Eve service. Glad you had a peaceful day!

  5. We do a Christmas Eve candle light service, but I didn't get to go this year. Just too much in the offing.
