Hi everyone! Sorry I had to be AWOL during Christmas. Whew! I'm glad it's over. Sorry I missed whoever's visit and Pippin's birthday celebration. I didn't even get my Christmas cards sent. I don't know whether I'll even bother now. My huge Christmas project with my church was time consuming and stress producing, but it was a big hit. The people who came have raved about it and want us to do it again next year. We know that if we do attempt it next year we will have to do two performances in one night because the town hall only seats 80. It becomes pretty close quarters...somewhat like the original Bethlehem Inn. I'm hoping to have some pictures, but I'm depending on the generosity of other people who took pictures.
Two of my children came for Christmas (the liberal ones from N.C.) and we almost made it through the visit without a "discussion" about religion/politics. Santa brought me a digital camera. I'm waiting for the reader to arrive.
Today I conducted a funeral service. What a sad way to close out the Christmas season. I trust that everyone had a great Christmas. I went back and read most of the posts and noted the graphics. Hope you had a great birthday, Pip.
